... Currently as a bit of a space fantic I have spent a great deal of time reseaching space colony technoloies and ideas. As well the technologies to get us there. I have some great ideas based on that reseach. If anyone is interested please let me know. Have you been by http://members.aol.com/oscarcombs/settle.htm ? I wouldn't mind hearing your ideas, but I have to warn you that by and large I place a great deal of faith in the original NASA Summer Studies and quite a bit less in unknown folk on Usenet who have much better ideas on how to do thing than those silly Summer Study people did. To be convinced that a new idea was necessarily a better idea, I'd first have to be convinced it came out of an entire room-full of credentialed space scientists and space engineers who had some NASA money to spend doing nothing but researching space colonies. (And even then only after the resulting report had gone out for peer-review.) -- Regards, Mike Combs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By all that you hold dear on this good Earth I bid you stand, Men of the West!

Sorry if the previous sounded hostile. It's just that Usenet is replete
with people with The New And Better Idea, but I haven't been terribly impressed with much of what I've seen. I'm not convinced that individuals working in isolation yield as good a results as communities of researchers interacting via peer review. -- Regards, Mike Combs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By all that you hold dear on this good Earth I bid you stand, Men of the West!

Aragorn Hey, thanks, Mike. I'll bookmark that. Do you think your opinion about the coilgun has changed over time, or stayed the same? Would you agree that the 10km track, 100 metric ton inert projectiles, 30G constant acceleration over t and a 60G point impulse shock wave with the hypersonic aerobraking shockwave at V_e to the planet is a good idea? Why or why not? If somebody just invents (discovers) antigravity like that Russian guy always "claims", would that change your opinion? What are the microlensing anomalies between the Earth and the Sun? They're probably hyperlight residues. Ross -- "Plays Standard Computer Games!" |
