Vessel Tanker version of the Shuttle A

[Jamesep3]

Can we get back to the point! Shuttle A tanker. The UMmu and UCGO is the way to go. Also it would be good if we had the refinery ideas are good. So are there any other good ideas? :thumbup:

To me a simple tanker conversion of the shuttle A would lead to perhaps a crew transport version(extending hab/pilothouse block so as to make a shuttle B(for Bus). The only problem is that there is no one to make these ideas (virtual)reality; or was, if I can convince my brother to make the model. If I can do that then maybe a coder will magically appear and offer their services, I hope!

BTW, could anyone tell me if blender can be used to make models for Orbiter?

Spaceships wouldn't run on oil and petrol/gas/diesel. They run on LOX and LH2. The problem with a depot for these gasses is all down to boiloff.

Could a solar-powered cooling system prevent the boiloff?
