Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Nicaragua machine shops

Hello Jon,
remember physics in college:
What is the length of a steel wire that bursts of its own weight?
1750 meters or 10 times it. I cannot remember ell.
What is the height of a stationary orbit?
something between 230 and 400 Km.
What material will use the NASA?
