Obama's HUGE space gamble

One thing to me is certain though. We need a better less energy wasteful
and dangerous way to get off planet. Maybe the physicists can actually
find the source of gravity and let us harness the force instead of
fighting it.

They have, it's called lift! �Lift can get a ship out of the bulk of the
atmosphere anyways. I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of
air dropped launching ends up being the cheapest and easiet way.


YES YES YES, a air launched gigantic airplane air dropping a mini
shuttle at the very top of the atmosphere minimizes taking fuel tanks
and infrastructure 90% of the way to orbit..

refuel the airplane repeatedly on the way up, to launch release
altitude.

military can use the same system, and a airliner that could hold a few
thousand, or jumbo cargo hauling has advantages too. mean bomber to
level a miss behaving country. nice replacement for B52s

cruising at 70,000 feet would make shoot downs hard, with precesion
guidance to target destrruction.

say 5 or 6 times the size of that largest russian plane. only thing is
it would rquire dedicated airports for operation

Don't you?

...Dougie, where trolls like "jonathan" are concerned, such responses
are insufficient and actually have no effect. They're not here for
rational discourse, they're here to annoy, harass and otherwise troll.
Why many of you refuse to accept this and treat the pathetic maladroit
accordingly totally escapes me.

OM

Well Bobbie....just like with Bob H, or Brad or any of the other folks
who annoy me, I can choose to ignore them. It is SO amazingly easy to do
that I am surprised a person such as yourself hasn't tried it.


It only bugs me when OM doesn't respond. He's a very reliable
indicator of whether I hit a 'NASA' nerve or not. And that
statement isn't meant as reverse psychology either on OM, it's
true. He is a good barometer.


Jonathan

Jonathan....please I REALLY don't need your support.

No offense, but you're a troll.

WHY do you insist on going least common denominator all the time?

...One other thing: Why is it that the only contributions you've made
to this group in the past few years are to berate me for trying to
chase trolls out of here? A sense of kinship for trolls like
"jonathan", perhaps?

OM

Robert,

Defend? Um no, Bob.

Here's the deal, dude, I have stated more than once that there's very little
of note to contribute by me. I don't have a huge store of material to cull
from like say Pat or Scott Lowther or even you, Bob. I COULD be a fan boi
and say things like Me, TOO! or cool, dude, or whatever, but that would be
tiresome. So, I lurk like I do most groups and just enjoy contributions from
most folks. Yeah, Brad Guth usually goes sight unseen because, if for
nothing else his sentence structure and his 'interesting' combination of
words tire me out. Jonathan is too long winded (like American) and way too
much of a conspiracy theory nut job for my taste. Bob Haller I've killed
because I am driven to distraction by his crappy typing....and on an on.

But, Bob, you're somewhat different. When you aren't ranting and raving
about someone or other, you have PLENTY of interesting things to say or you
come up with really cool links to things that interest me and the other
folks here. That's why I take the time to cajole you because, at least in my
viewpoint, YOU are someone of value you here. Yeah, I know, big deal.

But, Bob, if I were the only one who felt this way you could consider me a
nut job. But, as we both know, I am NOT the only encouraging you to stop
your egregious behavior. Hell, Pat's killfiled you for gosh sakes and that
seems to really annoy you.

Oh and kinship remark was REALLY below the belt....I enjoyed it, but
still.......

I'm still not completely sure he really exists, and isn't just some sort
of random word sentence creation computer program.
But that's probably because I'm a brown-nosing LLPOF incest-cloned Borg
Zionist Nazi. :-D

It took me forever to figure out what the "LLPOF" was all about.
It's "Liar, Lier, Pants On Fire"... really hard language on his part. :-D


Pat

Truth be told Pat....I actually had to ask him. How pathetic is THAT?

Let the private corporations figure it out. They're already developing
a "rent a shuttle" program for the future.

I doubt anyone will build another shuttle system in any of our
lifetimes.

Things designed by comitees tend to do nothing really well
