100 Year Starship: An interstellar leap for mankind?
Is a Pentagon plan for a spaceship travel outside our solar system a crackpot idea, or a visionary blueprint for reaching the stars?

When Jack Sarfatti was 13 years old, he began receiving phone calls from a strange metallic voice that told him he would someday become part of an elite group of scientists exploring uncharted territory. Those calls, which he believes may have come from a computer on a spacecraft, proved a seminal influence on his life and led him to pursue a career that combined mainstream physics with an enduring interest in UFOs and the far-out reaches of science.

Maybe it was Stephen Hawkins calling him? Has anyone heard his 'new' voice?

He has a new voice? I did not know that. Would be cool to hear.
I did try to find it on :

Stephen Hawkings new voice.
The thought comes to mind that it would be cool to hear a few Lebowski quotes in Hawking's voice..."well, that's just like your opinion, man." ;D
Install the micro$oft voice api (SDK) (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=10121) and run some text (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/15426/Text-to-Speech-with-the-Microsoft-Speech-Library-a) as one of the voices.
Hours of fun for all the family.
