Yeah (sigh), that's probably quite true; a useful payload in all likelihood cannot be delivered via this method. Again, I'll speak to him next week & we'll play with the numbers some more; he's considering this as a thesis topic. Thanks Bob & remcook for your valuable critical commentary!
-------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Again, I'll speak to him next week & we'll play with the numbers some more; he's considering this as a thesis topic. Thanks Bob & remcook for your valuable critical commentary! Thesis? The idea shouldn't have even got past the back of the envelope, much less an idea for a thesis. Somebody's engineering education is severely lacking. If this is the type of people in AFSPACECOM, then our military space cadre is in worse shape than in the 90's (which was worse than any point in history) This proposal is similar to the "transfer" in the movie "Mission to Mars", where the crew "jumped" from the "MTV" to the a vehicle in Mars orbit. Both are impossible |
