Request How about Santa Claus?

[Andy44]

Since NORAD tracks Santa's flight each year, it's pretty obvious that Santa's sleigh is a real vehicle, capable of high altitude, high speed flight.

So I searched for Santa on Orbit Hangar and no luck. Surely somebody out there has a Santa sleigh and reindeer mesh, perhaps with animated reindeer legs? If not, someone with talent and lots of spare time might want to consider it. Maybe even a payload of toys, which can be distributed around the globe in 24 hours if the sleigh launches into a polar orbit (which, of course, is the only possible orbit when launched from the North Pole!)

Neah... I prefer him visiting each house individually. With all the lightning speed that entails.

So, build lots of house meshes and use time accel...

I think Santa uses [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1471"]LSS-Photon[/ame] or something to stop time.

I did give this a go, but getting enough ISP out of a reindeer is a real trouble!

Rudolf performed well, but Prancer, Dancer and Blitzen just couldn't find the delta-v...

The both are in red, they live under extreme climate and they both have minions serving them...

I was working on something like this 2 years ago. I only had the Santa/sleigh made and I lost the file.

Star explorer, you fail to realise that the souls that Satan steals are given to Santa, who uses his own evil minions (never did like the pointy-eared fools) turn into what we belive are toys, and are distributed around the globe.

 

[Andy44]

Like Soylent Green, kind of?

:rofl:

Anyways, because of the add-on... After the halloween expierience I still have the hope that the XR2 might turn into a sled at christmass eve... or at least that you have Santa riding shotgun.

Does santa deliver to the ISS? Just a though of santa in an EVA suit gives me giggles.

 

[Dig Gil]

I once watched a movie where Santa was an evil guy, but he was doing good things because he lost a bet with an angel for 1000 years. That movie was about the 1000 years past and Santa was back to "work"... finally losing the bet again.

The ISS has no chimney...

 

[dougkeenan]

Is the motive force from the sleigh or the reindeer? (Or both perhaps? If he's going supra-orbital the reindeer may be there to pull him down.)

 

[andysim]

Maybe the presents when up on sts-126 :rofl: I hope they get something on christmas morning.
