Default Submarine as space ship!

Radios and other important gear along with antennas, Of course sonor
wouldn't be of much value but rempval of SONOR


Hi "Scientific Cabbie":

You expect us to take this seriously, and you don't even know enough about
submarine systems to know the acronym is SON_A_R?! Oh, you're going to have a
SYMPOSIUM, are you? Who'd attend? Art Bell, for god's sake?!

I'm sorry folks, you know I'm not usually like this. Maybe I'm turning into a
curmudgeon. I'm certainly getting old enough. But it's just that lately every
other post on s.a.a. is from an Internet LOON with nothing better to do than to
waste everyone's time including his/her own!

If you're seriously interested in spaceflight, go to the library and check some
_books_ out and READ! Turn off Art Bell. He's a liar and a fool. TURN OFF THE
COMPUTER! GO OUT AND MEET SOME GIRLS! JUST STOP IT!

Sitting here typing FOOLISHNESS into your PC signed with a silly...SILLY screen
name will get you absolutely nowhere! Why a submarine? Why not a London bus?
Why not the Disneyland monorail cars? Why not the Washington Monument?! "All"
we have to do is get them into space!

SHEESH! Somebody buy me a drink...I think I'm drifting over the edge, y'all,
and you have my apologies. I'll be good from now on. ;-)

I will not reply to trolls and loons...I will not reply to trolls and loons...I
will not reply to trolls and loons...

Peace,

I think you are being too hard on the idea that is being presented here.

The
good thing about a submarine in outer space is that, if it is a fleet
ballistic missile sub, it will already have launch tubes. The missiles

could
be for good purposes or just to get it the hell over with, you KNOW it

is
going to happen, and militarize the hell out of outer space. Why let
settlements be built on the Moon and Mars before the capability exists

to
blow them to kingdom come? This time do it right and get the capability

to
destroy upfront!

I also like the idea of the torpedo tubes. Someday, maybe in two hundred
years who knows, we are going to be looking, diving, swimming and

dumping
in
the frozen ice topped liquid oceans of the outer planets and their

moons.
We
can blow the hell out of anything we find there from the beginning. Why
scale up our response, why not just "go all the way" from the start? A

lot
of your checklist of criticisms seem to be coming from this arty farty
goodie two shoe perspective. "helping out at the local hospital?" what

the
hell is that? You think the money that is being spent by the ones who

write
the checks is so scientists can have renewed Solaris work stations and

young
pretty British assistants who eat vegan and are all so far away from

home?

It is all about dominance over the Chinese and anybody else on earth

that
gets in America's way. Get smart about it!!! A submarine that is fully

armed
is a good step toward the real goal. I think the cooling problem for the
reactors is the stumbling point. Maybe a big scaled up version of a car
radiator, a few hundred feet across, that could be towed behind the
submarine would work?

Actually this is hardly a new idea. For an example of a simple

adaptation of
a submarine into a space ship I refer you to the serial "Flash Gordon"
(1936) in which the space ships look a good deal like Captain Nemo's
submarine and are actually maneouvered using periscopes.


Not a submarine, but don't forget Starship Yamoto.

Cheers
