that thing has been sitting on the pad since 08' and its probably corroded by this point, anybody know whats up with the falcon 9?

I hate having to always track my posts. there should be a notification thing that tells you if someone has replied to a post you made.

you know how they tried to use tethered satelites to generate electricity by turning it into a generator? well a generator can also be made into a motor, couldn't they make electrodynamic RCS or even main engines?

so you know how the engine pods on the ares for mars direct are SSMEs? and there made to be reusable? and the engine pod looks awfully like a little lifting body? and you could add a TPS, and make it land, and be reused? do you see what I'm getting at?

okay, so you make this giant thing underground with pistons that resemble the orion nuclear ships. drop out a nuke, blow it up, moves the first piston, repeat many times, attach a shaft at the end to a huge generator. great use of nuclear weapons. you could also make a smaller one that runs on...

he is a legend. i love the guy.

It would be really interesting to see SSU or shuttle fleet with UMMU. then when you dock to iss that all ready has it, you can transfer people around. also, I was thinking: what if you put a module in the cargo bay that could carry passengers? how many could it realistically carry?

I know this is not math and physics, but the other forums are not really that suitable either. I have a few questions concerning how people live in space and if people could give real answers not just "Embarass yourself" and stuff like that it would be much appreciated. so. here goes. 1. how do...

I was playing orbiter as I usually do, playing today with the model rockets, and I noticed that one of them had huge drag, and when i reentered after crossing the USA (using and SRB as a booster) Thanks to the drag, all the slowing happened in the upper atmosphere and so there where no reentry...

found this on a great italian website for space fans notice the ship on the left has the name XR-1! http://www.fabiofeminofantascience.org/

anybody know any good space art websites, u know, Chesley Bonestell and that kind of stuff.

could some one make an alternate history add-on? i was thinking about a few turning points where things went wrong. capsules instead of spacecraft that Von Braun and colliers mentioned, Hitler goes ahead with spacecraft in WW2, continuation of apollo (to mars and moon base), development of fully...

I don't know if any body knows this, but in the DG VC you can move your view to that of the passengers by pressing control arrow left or right. now what would be awesome would be a huge Vespucci like ship with a control arrow "look everywhere" VC to see the dorms, bathrooms, cafeteria, cockpit...

this was a little idea i had: how bout using something like UMMU to make a space shuttle style craft but thats fully reusable, the boosters and orbiter can then be assembled in a UMMU VAB so u can "EVA" the shuttle that has been "assembled" in the VAB once u recover all the boosters so u can use...
