Andem Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I'm surprised they don't have an army of developmental psychologists picking them apart on a weekly basis, considering how much of their lives have been devoted to the space program...

DMSP Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Awesome chapter! I do think that maybe Sarah should be really shocked or depressed after Jake leaves, and Jake should be more depressed after Lee dies (in next chapter, don't know what happens yet). Alright, otherwise, nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellarator Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 On 1/4/2016 at 7:27 AM, fredinno said: Probably not very good for landings, since you need a large runway. I would much rather do a vertical landing of sorts, probably with engines. Then it's probably better to build it up via lunar and Earth resources, and do a long burn out, instead of going into the Sun, even though it takes more fuel- Jupiter may not exist to do a gravity assist to get down to the Sun once we get there But at least maybe do a oberth burn to LEO- though that might not matter much, TBH. Why a Runway? I have asked myself that since long time ago... Im writting a novel, and one of the limitations is that the planet hasnt got space to be wasted on runways... So my SSTO land and are launched on the sea, where a boat waits to pick them up and carry it to port... About the problem of salt... Well, the material of the hull isnt metal, is designed to support great temperatures of reentry, and also, the ship, once landed, or before being launched is outside sea on a massive sea ship. ¿It is possible?
