Project X-2: Deep Space Shuttle

[usfup328]

From Mission: Space at Walt Disney World in Florida comes the X-2: Deep Space Shuttle. It's a two stage rocket with the X-2 Lander on top. Capable of going from 0- 6,000 mph in 60 secs. and reaching Mars with no problem. Soon this fine spacecraft will be available to you thanks to Zatnikitelman and me. There still is help wanted so if you want to do something besides creating the model and taking the pictures of it come on and help. There is however one requirement; you must ridden Mission: Space before.

Haha. Mission Space was pretty sweet!

If only we could get personal ones as sim-pits for orbiter!

Alas, even though i've ridden the beast, I have not much of a hand at addon making. Good luck with it anyhow!

Not sure if you know, but this site would make a great reference:

Capable of going from 0- 10,000 mph in 60 secs.

Being exposed to 27.34g (268.224m/s^2) of acceleration for 60 seconds must be a very exciting experience. If you manage to remember more than the first couple seconds of it. And if you just so happen to survive it.

I'll get to work on the pics of the "lander" as it's listed on the site. It won't be till a day or two after christmas, but I have a 10.2Mp DSLR so the pics should be high-detail.

The fact that it turns the crew into puddles of red jelly does make it a bit impractical in some respects. :lol:

a bit more than half way down
According to the text, people have survived 17g's eyeballs in for several minutes.

I don't know how you got that figure.

10000 mph = around 4470 m/s

In 60 seconds that would come to around 74.5 m/s^2 which is only around 7.6 Gs. While a tad heavy, still survivable for 60 seconds for a healthy individual. The Mercury astronauts had to endure in excess of 10Gs during re-entry.

 

[usfup328]

Wait I was wrong on the acceleration. It's 0-6000 in 60 seconds. Also I came out (for g-force) with 44 gs. Of course Mission: Space time period was set in the future; so maybe they made it so you only fell 3gs.(That's what the people who do Orange Team Training experiences)

The name X2 has already been used by the X-Project guys.

Yes the name has been used but its full name is the X-2 Deep Space Shuttle.
