I looked it up; I'm not a math person so I wasn't paying attention, but as I remember, calculators were really not in much use unless you were a rich math geek until mid 1970s. $300 to $500 back then was a lot of money, maybe a week's pay:

"With the advent of MOS/LSI in 1970 early portable calculators using more than one major IC and priced at around $300 to $500 were produced using LSI circuits. TI's single MOS/LSI "calculator-on-a-chip" IC in 1971 heralded the age of the low-cost consumer handheld calculator and ignited the burgeoning electronic calculator market. "

I've listened to every interview with him I could find now; he states he blew up the one that he flew that day back at Area 51 because he realized the government was planning on using one like it (if they could figure out how to build one) to be able to attack the USSR with something so fast, they would be unable to retaliate. It would have neutered the MAD balance of power.

For the same reason, he had his father destroy the research papers while he was still in US custody at area 51 (prearranged code, he called him and told him 'everything's fine' which was code for 'destroy all my research papers!). He has since made a living adapting space shuttle technology to earth based uses and from his last interview just in November, www.charlesfrith.com... he sounds retired or at least independently wealthy at this point; and also a bit depressed about the future.

On his website, he posts pictures of his science awards, contemporaneous newspaper articles about him, etc. Everything checks out as much as possible. Contrary to some posters here, I think he's being absolutely honest. If this was all imaginary, he could have been writing great science fiction all these years, instead he was working in the field... it *would* be nifty to get acknowledgment from Stephen Hawking that they had worked together, though. I don't know if he's ever been asked, but before anyone takes the tack that 'sssuuuurrrrre, he met Stephen Hawking', keep in mind that geniuses in physics and rocket science are a VERY small subgroup; if he was in the field at all, and especially a child prodigy, it would have been a likelihood that they would have been brought together. I belong to Mensa and I cannot believe the number of what you would call famous people I have met over the years, just randomly by being in conferences and at gatherings, and I'm not in any particular science-based field or well known myself.

I wonder if that was premature. If they were dealing with ET technology the goal might actually have been to try to get up to semi-parity with ET.

And besides, it was stealth, namely missile submarines, and not speed, which kept the ultimate balance of power.

Incoming ICBMs were already damn fast enough (warheads go from stratosphere to ground level in three to five seconds). Think of a meteorite, except the trajectory is more straight down.

And I think one should be somewhat skeptical about his credibility regarding the totally exotic (i.e. not consistent with known open science, unlike his open work) technology: ultra-fast fusion-powered reactors & craft? really?

And why didn't he start up with the fusion reactors again in 1991? We could be at Mars and fixing global warming already.

I don't subscribe to coast to coast, but there are numerous youtube sites out there that post those. Here's what I've found:

David Adair lecture to UFO group; discusses the work he has been doing for the last 10-20 years is adapting the space technology to earth use and vice versa, such as how he figured out to do free form molding of materials in zero G using sound waves.

www.youtube.com...

David Adair interview, amazing dream discussion starts about halfway in; the first half is about prepping for disaster, etc. All worth the listen, though, this is new from 11/11:
www.charlesfrith.com...

another link for same show: www.blogtalkradio.com...

One of his first interviews: www.youtube.com...

To answer your question about 'what if'; at 17 he had no idea of what the ramifications would be if he were to allow a known Nazi 'bad guy', Rudolph, to keep his technology; he probably made the right decision. As to why he hasn't done it since, I dunno, maybe they have, all our black budget money is going somewhere and there's anecdotal tinfoil out there about bases on the moon, mars, time and space travel, so who knows. The containment of the power of the fusion engine seems to be the big technical problem.
