Appears to have new and larger diameter multi-engine second stage:

dakotatelephone... ....The Shadow knows...HA-HA-HA! :-D That is one of the most under-rated movies of all time - a brilliant movie with fantastic special effects and beautiful to look at too. I think the KPR-1 (Kim's Pocket Rocket) is simply a scud-relative. |

Wasn't that souped-up Cord taxicab cool? I also liked sending messages around via the pneumatic pipes. Yeah, that was a very neat movie indeed. The Rocketeer was another period movie that was under-rated. I think the KPR-1 (Kim's Pocket Rocket) is simply a scud-relative. It's supposed to use clustered Scud engines as well as one from a SA-2 Guideline SAM in the upper stage. Pat |

Australia spends over $100 million per year on Antarctic programs; with that much, we would have a satellite in three years (about 30kg - launched by the Ausroc IV which has already been designed by a group of 'amatures' from ASRI [Australian Space Research Institute]). In ten years, we would have a 2 tonne LEO launcher - probes to the Moon; Mars; Venus and asteroid belts.... $100 million spent here would boost the economy several times over; with increases in the aerospace and electronics industries in particular, as well as the education system. Not to mention the international prestige it would bring to an already well-respected nation. |

Australia spends over $100 million per year on Antarctic programs; Cut to image of kangaroos jumping across the ice.... :-) My waggish comment was to ask if Australian rockets always just go up a ways and come right back where they started like a boomerang rick jones -- denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance, rebirth... where do you want to be today? these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... |

Well, unless Australia is very unusual, the vast majority of the $100 million spent on Antartic programs is spent right there in Australia and should bring a considerable boost to the economy - after all $100 million is $100 million. But you don't mention that somehow. Which means all you're really doing is trying to find a basis, howsoever slender, to fill your own fanboy rice bowl. You don't actually care about economic benefits. D. -- Touch-twice life. Eat. Drink. Laugh. http://derekl1963.livejournal.com/ -Resolved: To be more temperate in my postings. Oct 5th, 2004 JDL |

Most of it's spent on transport; both the Australis ice breaker and the new air route. |

I'm thinking kangaroo sleds to replace dog sleds; these could go at quite the rate of speed, literally leaping across the ice. The driver's call of "mush" would be replaced by one of "Foster's" to spur the 'roos onwards. ;-) Pat |
