  1. Thats mainly because those didn't actually happen, and no one will try again
  2. I say that SSTOs are actually necessary to commonplace spaceflight. What we need is to take the risk of building one, testing it, and learning from it. SSTOs (good ones) pay for themselves
  3. This topic was being heavily discussed on the nova thread, but that is extremely out of place. FYI this is not about the current orion spacecraft
  4. What? Orion is awesome! it would allow exploration of the solar system to become almost easy!
  5. I think that overall EOR is better, but in a space race, its not. the Orion plan didnt entail launch of Orion directly from earth did it?
  6. Thanks! that makes more sense, but then isn't it just a maglev?
  7. I don't understand what makes it levitate. I heard that they used air jets, and sucked air from the tube. BUT THE TUBE IS EVACUATED ! WHAT?
  8. "I forgot my towel"-Trillian Kerman "I forgot my toothbrush"-Phoice kerman Note similarities.

  13. Now, this is probably not possible, but he could have blown the hatch and parachuted if he ad an escape suit. Also, i think this thread needs a poll. I say yes.
  14. Um, no, it would be an asteroid impact. Can we talk about the impossible and really awesome plans that wre made, like the STG plan, and the project orion?
  15. The 1970s reusable shuttle, space base, lunar base, and mars mission plan was quite amazing.
  16. MARS BY 1965, SATURN BY 1970 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  17. Yes, there was, I know, it spun out of control when it reached orbit, and reentred.
