Poll How would you fly to the ISS?

[DanM]

I personally would ride in an Orion or Soyuz. Soyuz IS more reliable than the shuttle, and Orion looks like it will be very reliable.

 

[Izack]

I'd just walk.

 

[Shadow Addict]

I'd go in a reinforced tin can if it meant I got to fly in space.

 

[DanM]

As so would I

 

[fireballs619]

Heck, I wouldn't even be picky about tje reinforced part.

On topic though, I would perfer a space shuttle ride. I don't quite know why, partly because I'm biased for it

 

[Unstung]

The shuttle can actually can carry large payloads to the ISS, so it's more suitable for that kind of mission. As for reliability, going into space aboard anything risks your life, so you'd have to be prepared for that.

Shutlle, simply because I don't like the idea of reentering in a small capsule. So sorry guys but I'll have to pass on the OF can trip to the ISS.

Suit yourself; you're just increasing the odds that I'll get the seat in the can, after all :lol:

in my dream

 

[Artlav]

In a tank wagon with a honest rocket welded to it (and a window). You can get a used but still airtight one for about $5000, add another $30000 for life support and power, and it leaves only the engine to invent.

Seriously, being 2 meters tall i can only hope to get up there in a home made spacecraft, since Shuttle's limit is 1.93, Soyuz - 1.8 meters.

 

[Sky Captain]

All I would need is Falcon 1 rocket and spacesuit with beefed up RCS. Hopefully I would manage rendezvous before life support runs out.

 

[Rtyh-12]

I would go there in a real DeltaGlider. Of course when something like that will exist:lol:

 

[Keatah]

I'll just fart and gas my way up there.. If I need turbo thrust I can just light a match!

 

[Urwumpe]

Shuttle, or alternatively, in something like the Lockheed Lifting Body CEV design.

 

[IronRain]

Orion or Soyuz... because I like them

 

[Wishbone]

Up there: on a Soyuz-TMA (despite being too tall for that - 188), down to Earth - of course in a Shuttle (lower max G, no perspective of a ballistic re-entry).

 

[Mojave]

The Shuttle, just because I have always wanted to launch in the shuttle.

 

[Moach]

i use a large rubberband tied between two trees and lots of positive thinking :thumbup:


or... i would go with (fictional) G42 or HyperDart / (real) Shuttle, Pegase-CTV, Antares-CTV :hmm:


edit: ah, no, scratch that - Antares is fictional as well :lol:

 

[shangding]

what about shenzhou spacecraft?

 

[Ghostrider]

On the Batrocket, what else?
