And more then that, that those spaceships cost a fuck ton of money... so that when NASA gets around to building them they want to understand every nuance (however subtle it may be) about the craft's performance.

To quote NASA: "For instance, one can plot energy, density, momentum, pressure, temperature, and so forth across the rows of the
hyperwall, while distributing streamlines, contours, volume rendering,
colormaps and viewing angles across the columns. The resulting
combinatoric array of visualizations permit side-by-side comparison
and allow the user to choose the most effective means of
interrogating and presenting a feature of interest."

It's not enough to just build the spaceship if when you launch it you don't learn anything from it.]]>Jun 27th 2008 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/Jun 27th 2008 8:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/Jun 27th 2008 9:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/27/nasa-creates-hyperwall-2-the-worlds-highest-resolution-visuali/

NASA benefits our lives everyday and is less than 1% of the federal
budget. Please support their work, NASA doesn't buy things they
can't justify. TRUST ME. I'd love to hook up my 360 to that thing.

Or, maybe more importantly, why was it necessary to ditch the previous one (and the bazillions that went into it). I mean, we're still flying a shuttle that was designed in the 70s - how did hyperwall-1 and it's spent resources meet obsolescence so quickly?

I see this and think: waste of resources (time, effort, and tax money). It does nothing to generate desire in this taxpayer to keep funding what looks more and more like NASA the boondoggle.
