new space program

My website "http:\\www.hyperonsoft.com" contains an outline of a new
space program, complete with two mars Society Convention papers and
some trajectory software downloads.

I am opening a thread to get some discussion underway on this subject.
So far all my attempts to obtain funding for research on the outline
have been unsuccessful. I consider this to be bad management. My
suggestions should have been properly investigated years ago. I have a
certificate of appreciation (1990) from the Stafford committee
substantiating this claim.

NASA should be challenged to produce the best possible program. At
this point, I think there is cause to argue that it has committed
itself to producing the worst possible.

One topic of great interest is whether variable geometry subsonic
ramjets can be used in a two cycle first stage. An email I received
from a participant in the NGLV study suggested that they had considered
ejectors, and rejected them. I had rejected multicyle engines; but a
two-cycle stage has yet to receive proper evaluation, as far as I know
(although the NGLV study apparently gave it some consideration).
