Hope they've read up on Euler instability.

It's a very heavy but nifty stack of modified TNT. What could
possibly go wrong? (again)

The perversity of inanimate objects (in this context, meaning not alive
objects) means that it will perform flawlessly until they stick humans
on top.

That's why we pay others to ride the great stick of death. It's like
Russian roulette, it's great fun for all, at least up until the last
guy finishes the game.

Instead of Ares V... Alan Erskine[_2_] Policy 16 March 3rd 08 12:24 PM
I've added FOUR updates to my Ares-1 article with some NEW calculations that (clearly) show WHY the new Ares-1 can't fly gaetanomarano Policy 0 November 12th 07 10:21 AM
NewSpace rockets __ EELVs __ Ares-I __ REVISED Orion/Ares-I __ FAST-SLV __ chances of success gaetanomarano Policy 9 June 16th 07 12:03 AM
in my opinion (both) Ares-I and Ares-V could NEVER fly once! ...could NASA rockets win vs. privates on launch date and prices? gaetanomarano Policy 0 May 10th 07 11:11 PM
