Space Forum / Space Flight / January 2006

I was, until the orderlies made me stop, and took back the trash cans.  Now
I'm putting together puzzles in the day room.

What do you mean by 'working on'??? If the design stage qualifies, I'm
guilty.

On paper and as concepts, enough to work on the math only.
I wouldn't describe them as rocket ships, just rockets with
the exception of a sub-orbital hypersonic lifting body. That
is more of a very fast plane. Something to bop over to the land
of Auz from California assuming a significant budget.

If you were referring to spacecraft and space platforms, I've a
couple of those as well but again just concepts. So far only
one business proposal that might be viable. It still lacks the
legal framework needed to function including many international
agreements. Those craft have all been robotic in nature and
bootstraoping off the tons of aluminum already in orbit.

None of this would be considered my own rocketship and of
the few seemingly viable (on paper) concepts for rockets,
time and money they may one day see one as a flying model
in the California Desert with the Reaction Research Society but
that would be the extent of it. All my engineering projects so
far though involved with high vacuum and fun with physics
but things very content at the bottom of this gravity well.
