The Boeing E-6 Mercury is an American military aircraft. It operates as an airborne command post and communications center, relaying instructions from the National Command Authority. Its role in relaying to the fleet ballistic missile submarines gives one of its missions the acronym TACAMO ("Take Charge and Move Out").
Codenamed Looking Glass, it is USSTRATCOM's Airborne Command Post, designed to take over in case NORAD's Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center is destroyed or incapable of communicating with strategic forces. The term 'looking glass' means the same as 'mirror', and is used because it "mirrors" the abilities of Cheyenne Mountain to control nuclear forces.
During the later years of the Cold War, when Cheyenne Mountain became vulnerable to a Soviet first strike, Looking Glass was said to be airborne 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with one plane taking off to replace another landing.
Like the E-3 Sentry AWACS, the E-6 Mercury is adapted from Boeing's 707-320 commercial airliner. Only one version of the E-6 currently exists, the E-6B. The E-6B is an upgraded version of the E-6A that now includes a battlestaff area and new flight deck systems replacing the aging 1970s-style cockpit with an off-the-shelf 737 Next Generation cockpit. This greatly increases the situational awareness of the pilot and saves significant cost over a custom avionics package.
The first E-6A was accepted by the US Navy in August 1989, sixteen were delivered up to 1992. The first E-6B was accepted in December 1997 and the entire E-6 fleet was modified to the E-6B standard, with the final delivery taking place on 1 December 2006.
Relatively massive amounts of Strontium and Barium were found in the dust in at least one WTC area, conclusive to William Tahil that a significant amount of fission occurred.
So the presence of both tritium and fission by-products (Strontium and Barium are by-products of the fission of Uranium or Plutonium) indicate that fission and fusion took place. Tritium boosting (fusion) has been incorporated into fission bombs. These nukes may have been thought to be the most dependable. “Fusion boosted fission bombs can also be made immune to radiation from nearby nuclear explosions which can cause other designs to predetonate, blowing themselves apart without achieving a high yield. The combination of reduced weight in relation to yield and immunity to radiation means that most modern nuclear weapons are fusion boosted.”
But Wikipedia is CIA-connected. And note the conflict between the alleged “immune to radiation” claim and the information, I will reveal shortly, that neutrinos can, in effect, “evaporate” sufficient nuclear material to prevent a full chain reaction.
The have zero electromagetic force, zero gravity and molecular weight.
Neutrinos are similar to the more familiar electron, with one crucial difference: neutrinos do not carry electric charge. Because neutrinos are electrically neutral, they are not affected by the electromagnetic forces which act on electrons. Neutrinos are affected only by a "weak" sub-atomic force of much shorter range than electromagnetism, and are therefore able to pass through great distances in matter without being affected by it. If neutrinos have mass, they also interact gravitationally with other massive particles, but gravity is by far the weakest of the four known forces.

What's A Neutrino?
The little buggers are going to be very different to control!! Slippery little devils!
Can't use magnets, or magnetic fields. We can't yet control gravity (don't even know what is IS, yet! ). AND, anyway, still not certain IF neutrinos have mass? Well, if they exist as a particle, then they are something...unless it's a wave-form probability, or something else exotic. Super-strings, whatever. We don't KNOW!
I think the SF-70 Star Talon Aerospace Fighter was the first to use neutrino’s.
SF-70 Star Talon Aerospace Fighter:
The Star Talon was the first trans-atmospheric starfighter built by any military prior to the coming of the Rifts. The fighter was built by Grumman Aerospace Engineering. The fighter design had only been put into service for only a period of three years before the coming of the Rifts and the vast devastation that resulted from the coming of the Rifts. There were some planet based units of this fighter and there was a full compliment of them on the space cruiser George Washington but other than those, there were no models of this fighter in orbit. There were five squadrons on Earth that had been in final preparations to be sent to Freedom Station at the time of the Rifts and two months from then,five squadrons were scheduled to be sent to the U.S. Moon colony interests.

Introduction:
On this page, you will find vehicles designed for Mutants in Orbit in the Rifts Earth universe. Covered are both military and civilian designs.
In some cases, the authors have some rewritten materials already covered by Palladium press because they do not fit with the concept or are not as well written up as I might wish but the majority of materials are original. Most designs have extensive background on them.
You are wrong about this weedwhacker.........
A neutrino detector is a device designed to detect neutrinos. Because neutrinos are very weakly interacting, neutrino detectors must be very large in order to detect a significant number of neutrinos. Neutrino detectors are often built underground in order to isolate the detector from cosmic rays and other background radiation.
Various detection methods have been used. Super Kamiokande is a large volume of water surrounded by phototubes that watch for the Cherenkov radiation emitted when an incoming neutrino creates an electron or muon in the water.
