Interesting tid bits about the real Railgun and Oasis

[mortis]

I spotted a thread by sponge at et-center with a link to some interesting info about the real Siwa Oasis, and the real Railgun (called Dora). Some of you may have seen it before, and if so I'm sorry, but I had never seen it and I found it quite interesting.

It is, unfortunately, written in French, which isn't a problem for me, but may be for you.

Some more info about fueldump and goldrush is found in the et-center thread, along with some comments from the quorum of witless idiots.

The site I saw it on had two links to each article, one in French and one in English. I may have been hallucinating after drinking too much drinks machine sump water, but I could have sworn it was the same site. How odd!

on www.real-et.com you can choose english in the left top of the site. Then they also have something about radar.
