Aerospace designs of the future

[Parhadron]

Oh, never a thought to combustion, after Alpha Centauri, eh?

 

[Parhadron]

All those plants...for THAT RATIO?

All those plants...for THAT RATIO?

or we can have CO2 undergo Zirconia electrolysis (please refer to the following pdf file

[Parhadron]

Sure, orbits, but travel is out of the question (my point).

It's robot time, again! I win.

 

[Parhadron]

Anyway, our sun dies and so does the AC system...surely one can store O2 for a long time...but why hold one's breath for it?

ROBOT TIME.

orbits? or is that an attempt to write "robots"?

Anyways zirconia electrolysis...is just a technology.

ROBOT TIME.

What? Since when is our sun the limit? There are many stars...we shall extinguish all their power for our own use. We shall use all the energy there is to gain.

I get it, you're a completely peaceful pod person who intends to wait for the robots to come back.

what robots? this thread is about aerospace vehicles and their use to travel in Earth atmosphere and space.

 

[Nickelodeon]

aerospace vehicles and their use to travel in Earth atmosphere and space.

What an absurd idea.

 

[draqon]

What an absurd idea.

Absurd?

The existence of current aerospace vehicles, that's absurd?

Just look at the beauty of SpaceShipOne!

 

[Nickelodeon]

Face looks great. Shame about the legs.

This is the beauty in its true form. Thank Burt Rutan, the creator of the dream!

The guy needs to stop thinking about sex and come up with something useful.

:bugeye: huh? Burt Rutan was the designer behind SpaceShipOne...if you are seeing sexual acts behind the White Knight air vehicle module and the SpaceShipOne air-space vehicle module...than...emmmmm*....it is you who needs to stop thinking about sex. The reason SpaceShipOne (SSO) module is transported beneath White Knight module is because SSO needs to conserve its fuel for acceleration through almost air free environment of stratosphere and beyond Earth.

as long as you will pay for security insurance and weight of the extra mass.

Hey Dragon. What company do you work for and what do you do?

Do you/they have any other more futuristic ideas in the works?

I cannot tell you that.

 

[Klippymitch]

Okay.

But you do work in the space industry correct? That's I'll I really want to know.

Edit: Actually more Future designs would be cool as well.
