You realize that all people with necessary skills are already on this forum, right? Just put up your job ad here.

Finally! An affordable ($500) Tesla!

There is a theory that the problem only appeared because CFC-containing foam has been phased out.

Old wisdom is that an aircraft which crashes during testing ends up being very safe because after the crash all design flaws get fixed.

You may have an incomplete file (in ZIP, control data are at the end of the file).

We have done a planning exercise two years ago and we have concluded that an interplanetary invasion is physically impossible unless you have a stargate you can drive trains through. Without a stargate, the invading force is restricted to bluff and subversion. It isn't about us being ready, it...

Looks like the only change since I was there 2 years ago was adding more exhibition booths under the craft: http://orbiter-forum.com/album.php?albumid=1000 I'd say they have experience, they also broke Concorde: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/07/nyregion/07concorde.html?_r=0 The funniest...

That's not a workaround that's a fixed DLL :) I should put this on Orbithangar...

Again, the mistake here is analyzing a lunar lander in vacuum (pun intended). The lander cannot exist outside a larger program. For starters, the lander has to be somehow delivered into LLO, which requires a launcher we don't currently have available. I would further posit that, technically...

Surprisingly unremarkable. Until you realize that at the end, the whole Universe literally shakes.

Goldwin was a product of his time and his boss. Remember Strauss-Howe: US society (and the West in general) oscillates between "strong institutions" regime and "weak institutions" regime with 80-year period. (I don't really understand why some people decry S-H as "pseudoscience" for making a...

Yes, all parts of a $500B program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Exploration_Initiative Zubrin (although I dislike his obsesssion with Mars Direct at the expense of lunar programs) has correctly pointed out that SEI was about putting everyone's pet project in the critical path to Mars.

OTV would rely on Space Station Freedom as a base. The required LEO component (Freedom+Shuttle) made the OTV+lander concept prohibitely expensive. A huge and underappreciated contribution made by Constellation planners was discovering that a lander can be launched into LLO directly and...

Spudis & Lavaoie budgeted a reusable lander at 4.5B$, 5 years. Stress on reusable, because his plan has rotating crews (crew A takes the lander up to LLO, crew B takes it back down to the base). http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20110004368.pdf ...and observe that, like in...
