You may want to reread the thread title - that one actually did happen! ================================== Not quite a spaceship, but I really like the old designs for von Braun/2001 ring stations. I think we should eventually make something like this. I also really wish NASA could have gotten enough funding to make Nova, the even bigger Saturn rocket:

Dwarf Sandwich.

Yousa lookin very festive!

Mr. Steven't!

He'll be getting ever more talkative as he prepares to move back to his home planet, Mars.

What am I going to do with it there? No way! It's going to the pad and I'm flying it!

Minecraft. I found the Ender fortress yesterday!

Does lava boil in a vacuum? What about purer molten metals like aluminum or iron or gold?

Is it launch day today? Only time will tell...

Oh, just clear out one of the parking lots around there, it'll be good enough. No, that's not good enough... Land it on the VAB.

Of course. This keeps the zombie population at a stable level so that zombie movies are perpetually viable.

I anticipate it'll take them at least a decade after the first operational flight to ramp up to that kind of efficiency.

Ok, ok, so...100,000 people per transfer window for a population of 1,000,000? That's 1,000 ships each window. Although he did say "city", not "entire planet".

Glad to see the mods apparently like to say nice things about good behavior more than they like to say bad things about bad behavior.

Long day of classes and labs. I have a lull over lunchtime, luckily.
