But What About the Earth's Proton Torpedoes?

Why is there so much hackdom around.

Discovery News, at it's most scientific:

EARTH RAISED MAGNETIC SHIELD EARLIER THAN THOUGHT

Heckuva headline there, Discovery. But questions remain unanswered. Were the shields at full power? Had the Earth "given it all she's got" by then? I guess I'll have to enroll in some adult education classes to find out the answers to that science. Hope The Academy is still taking applications.

There's a typo I have far too much dignity to correct :P

Seems to me a magnetic shield works a helluva lot better on charged particles.

But then, the northern lights have seen strange sights, and the strangest they ever did see...

and I think it's "queer" sights.

Don't worry about the torpedo type, NoT. Leave it as is and it's still a Star Wars reference.
