You will know — feel, like an earthquake — when it ends. Your computer and economy depend on Moore’s Law, which says the maximum number of transistors on an IC chip doubles every 2 years. (See EXPONENTIAL-GROWTH GRAPH.) Herein, I predict that the ultimate number of transistors on a chip will be less than 10 (…)

    Editorial: Lives On Line 9 July 2006 Engineers at NASA are not expected to reveal their conclusions about possible lethal damage to the space shuttle Discovery’s heat shield until later today at the earliest.

It was just such a mishap that led to the destruction of the Columbia upon re-entry in 2003.
