tomcat - 24 Mar 2006 16:13 GMT Water is the second most abundant substance in the Universe, second only to hydrogen.
Water is on the Moon as verified by Clementine and Lunar Prospector. A large quantity -- about 600 billion metric tons -- exists at both of the Moon's poles. Water also exists on the Asteroids in abundance.
Here is an analysis of one such asteroid:

Water is believed to be on the Martian poles as well. This could account for pictures that appear to show life there.

Earth has an enormous amount of water and is often called a 'Water Planet'. But water exists in Outer Space too. All the elements are out there. Our Astronauts simply have to have equipment to collect and purify them to sustain themselves just about anywhere. Even on some distant Asteroid!

tomcat - 25 Mar 2006 07:47 GMT There was so much controversy over water existing in space that I thought this would be a popular subject. There is also a good deal of substantial evidence that it does.
I have noted questions concerning the qality of the water. H2-PV NOW has announced that we should not eat the "yellow Moon ice." There are, however, a number of methods of purifying water that Astronauts can use.
Even damp dirt can be heated and have the steam condense into usable liquid which, by the way, may require a little more processing before I would drink it. Better than reprocessing raw sewage though.
The availablity of water in Outer Space was somewhat of a surprise to me. I find it interesting that Outer Space is so habitable. Our science is reaching the point where moving to and living on moons, asteroids, comets, and the like, is becoming more than just sci-fi.

Ice is on Earth, Mars, the Rings of Saturn, Asteroids, Moons, Comets, Mars, etc.
A Comet's tail is mostly ice particles, not to metion the ice on it's surface. Ice is all over up there.

Brad Guth - 26 Mar 2006 20:24 GMT Poor tomcat is having to go Usenet postal, as for your infomercial-science and those conditional laws of physics arnt helping all that much, now are they?
Water and/or of water-ice and especially of salty water-ice are of the single most important elements for life as we know it, as well as for accommodating most other essential forms of element/chemical reactions, and there most certainly should be lots of that stuff around but, it's far from being in the majority, and hardly if any coexisting upon our nearly naked lunar surface that's so gosh darn dark, nasty and reactive to boot.
If water and thus water-ice is so gosh darn important, as I've totally agreed that it is, then where's the hard-science of ice coexisting in space, unless having been surrounded by a good amount of atmosphere? - Brad Guth

"Poor tomcat"! Oh, look at the kitty. Nice kitty. Here's your dish of milk. Oh, you bad cat! No fish for you today! Here, kitty kitty. . . . Look, he's purring.
Well, anyway, the things I have to put up with. Thank goodness I can type away on my owner's computer when he's away. . .
Brad, you don't need atmosphere to have ice. This is a known fact. Comets have ice with virtually no atmosphere. Ice is carried along in their tails by gravity -- yes, right out there in the Big Vacuum Itself!
Read: http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/update-200602.html#lmcfadden
And, yes, I did read 'somewhere' that water is the second most abundant substance in the Universe, second only to hydrogen.

Christ almighty on another stick, wipe off your mainstream dripping brown nose and this time get some hard-science stuffed between your butt-cheeks.
What part of "Water Ice Found on a Small Portion of the Comet's Nucleus" is suggesting that a comet doesn't have an atmosphere? What part of "Small Portion of the Comet's Nucleus" is suggesting there's any significant volume or otherwise mass of said water-ice associated with a given comet? Are we talking about a comet that's surviving within 2 AU, or isn't usually a wee bit further away?
That's true enough about not needing an atmosphere to collect the likes of ice (I'm fairly certain that Pluto has lots of ice), as you'll only need that pesky atmosphere in order to keep that ice if coming to within 2 AU of such a hot and nasty sun like ours, that is unless you're out and about orbiting the likes of Jupiter or actually much further out there, especially the Kuiper/Oort zone likes of Sedna should be extensively of dirty (iron rich) ice, much like our once upon a time icy proto-moon was a very salty ball of ice.
>And, yes, I did read 'somewhere' that water is the second most abundant >substance in the Universe, second only to hydrogen. That's getting somewhat better, but no cigar because, I believe it's way down on the list as a combined element of raw h2o. Though obviously a good amount of what's hard physical substances should contain a very small percentage of sequestered h2o, especially if it's Venusian like as having been under such great pressure. - Brad Guth

We are talking about a Comet's atmosphere which is so sparse that it cannot be reasonably called an atmosphere. We are talking about "Ice" laying about on the surface of Tempel I. Ice that could fuel a spaceplane or be used as 'drinking water', once properly processed.
Brad. see the Ice. Just look at the photo:

An 'AU' stands for "astronomical unit" which is the distance of the Earth to the Sun. Our Moon has Ice. Therefore, 2 AU are not necessary if the 'Ice" is hidden from direct Sunlight.

Remember, water can be used whether or not it is in streams, or dirt, or vapor in the atmosphere. Water is water, and with sufficient science/engineering it can be used for people purposes.

Brad Guth - 26 Mar 2006 23:41 GMT >Our Moon has Ice. Therefore, 2 AU are not necessary >if the 'Ice" is hidden from direct Sunlight. tomcat, In spite of your infomercial educated self, you could be sufficiently infomercial-science correct, especially since our moon actually does have a bit more of atmosphere than even your infomercial-science is willing to share as to the truth about such matters.
The Venusian water (a few teratonnes) is most likely sequestered within them thar acidic clouds, although otherwise in various other nearly solid composite formulations upon or within the geothermally active and thus toasty surface is certainly doable, especially if to be honestly going by the regular laws of physics that you can seem to use for our moon. But then you don't actually give a tinkers damn about Venus or of protecting any environment, or of least of all benefiting the life within that's other than of your own remorseless soul, so what's your point? - Brad Guth
Brad Guth - 27 Mar 2006 00:45 GMT >Brad. see the Ice. Just look at the photo: http://deepimpact.jpl.nasa.gov/gallery/Icerich.html I see what looks as though salty, possibly of extremely limited volumes of a saltwater ice with a more than likely an involvement of mostly CO2 as dry-ice or of any number of other ice like elements that may even include a wee bit of h2o. I also see a infomercial motivated fool that's way up there on that brown-nosed hill.
Albedo and/or spectrum alone isn't sufficient hard-science to go by, now is it?
If I painted a few white spots on a big-a.s nasty chunk of coal that was getting remotely photographed at 82 m/pixel, whereas those spectrum and albedo charts would look damn near the same.
Upon something that small, I'd also have to say the micro-gravity compacted nature of 0.000001 g/cm2 is going to be about all that's doable. Thus at a given micro gram/cm3 isn't going to amount to all that much of any fluid volume. - Brad Guth

I also see a infomercial motivated fool > that's way up there on that brown-nosed hill. Honest, Brad, I don't paint white spots on those photos. Trust your eyes. And, BTW, if water is ice, and ice sublimates to molecules, and molecules come back together as 'rock hard' ice, then why are there Guthian Salts in those little crystals?
> Albedo and/or spectrum alone isn't sufficient hard-science to go by, > now is it? Nothing is perfect.
> If I painted a few white spots on a big-a.s nasty chunk of coal that > was getting remotely photographed at 82 m/pixel, whereas those spectrum > and albedo charts would look damn near the same. I don't think that NASA got to Tempel I, painting spots on it, before the camera took the picture.

If you had gone several days in your survival pod without water, you would be out there with a teaspoon scraping that white stuff for all you are worth.

tomcat - 27 Mar 2006 04:58 GMT Water is in abundance. Here is the web site with information on water and it's abundance.

tomcat - 27 Mar 2006 05:16 GMT A direct quote from the above referenced web site.
" Life cannot evolve or continue without liquid water, which is why there is so much fuss about water being found on Mars and other planets and moons. Water is the second most common molecule in the Universe (behind hydrogen, H2) and is fundamental to star formation."
I stand absolved from errant reporting.

columbiaaccidentinvestigation - 27 Mar 2006 05:36 GMT Your cited website uses the statements from two scientists, but there is no reference backing the statement of total quantity of water molecules in universe being 2nd to H, in either of the two papers presented, reference books, or the website. Citation is easy, and helpful to clarify invalid conclusions.

Brad Guth - 27 Mar 2006 19:49 GMT columbiaaccidentinvestigation, Your contribution of the following link is exactly what this Usenet from hell needs a whole lot more of. http://onlineethics.org/reseth/mod/rcr.pdf
Unfortunately that's nullified by way the wisdom of Usenet lord/wizard "tomcat";
>This is the Usenet. Ideas fly fast with vicious attacks from time to >time when truthfulness is in question. But, no one backs things up the >way you describe. Why? Because Journals are one thing, and the Usenet >another. Tomcat's Usenet is seriously chuck full of itself and of so many other butt-loads of infomercial-science, along with their wag-thy-dog ulterior motives and hidden agendas, that are much like an overflowing cesspool of their nearly continual disinformation, and/or skew upon the known facts in order to suit their obviously bigoted interpretation. In other words, it's all a serious bunch of LLPOF individuals up against so many other LLPOF folks that have absolutely no honest intentions of their ever playing by the rules of sharing an honest squat worth of info, much less helping out another soul, that is unless it's for the ongoing orchestrated benefit of sustaining whatever's their mainstream status quo of their brown-nosed and/or born-again pagan day.
Evidence exclusions are the norm, and of just plain old topic/author bullyism is their Skull and Bones status quo. It's exactly what causes so much collateral damage and gets innocent folks quite dead, and that of our Earth becoming further polluted, but then "so what's the difference" seems to be their working policy that only sucks and blows for the rest of us.
Unlike "tomcat", I've made way more than my fair share of mistakes. Unfortunately, making just one such mistake is worthy of receiving their topic/author termination, whereas their flak arrives from all Usenet sectors that would just as soon and much rather continue lying their incest cloned pagan butts off than not. - Brad Guth

I am actually much more erudite than I appear. And, for whatever it is worth, I still think well of your 'basalt fabric'. But you have to bind it with Graphite Epoxy, not that 'other stuff'. Boron Epoxy is pretty good too. Both can take extremes of heat.
I can build a spaceplane right now. How do I know this? Well, properly done, it is simple. Any time something becomes complex it is usually a sign of 'confusion' and confusion does not build spaceplanes.
Put enough engine, enough fuel, into an object and it has to do what nature intended: Go. Nice and simple. Get involved in 'plasma studies' and 10 years later there will just be 10 times as much to study.

tomcat - 27 Mar 2006 21:54 GMT The quoted passage below, from a NASA website, explains how ice exists on the Moon.
"The Moon has no atmosphere, any substance on the lunar surface is exposed directly to vacuum. For water ice, this means it will rapidly sublime directly into water vapor and escape into space, as the Moon's low gravity cannot hold gas for any appreciable time. Over the course of a lunar day (~29 Earth days), all regions of the Moon are exposed to sunlight, and the temperature on the Moon in direct sunlight reaches about 395 K (395 Kelvin, which is equal to about 250 degrees above zero F). So any ice exposed to sunlight for even a short time would be lost. The only possible way for ice to exist on the Moon would be in a permanently shadowed area."
"The Clementine imaging experiment showed that such permanently shadowed areas do exist in the bottom of deep craters near the Moon's south pole. In fact, it appears that approximately 6000 to 15,000 square kilometers (2300 to 5800 square miles) of area around the south pole is permanently shadowed. The permanently shadowed area near the north pole appears on Clementine images to be considerably less, but the Lunar Prospector results show a much larger water-bearing area at the north pole. Much of the area around the south pole is within the South Pole-Aitken Basin (shown at left in blue on a lunar topography image), a giant impact crater 2500 km (1550 miles) in diameter and 12 km deep at its lowest point. Many smaller craters exist on the floor of this basin. Since they are down in this basin, the floors of many of these craters are never exposed to sunlight. Within these craters the temperatures would never rise above about 100 K (280 degrees below zero F) (2). Any water ice at the bottom of the crater could probably exist for billions of years at these temperatures."
Thought it might help.

Brad Guth - 28 Mar 2006 04:21 GMT >How do you know this? This statement is not properly backed up by at >least 3 scientists. You have no footnotes and no bibliography. Bad, >bad, bad. Unlike yourself. I know damn good and well when I'm being snookered, and when I'm not (footnotes and bibliography to follow). I can tell the difference between infomercial-science and hard-science (footnotes and bibliography to follow), though obviously you can not tell the difference between whatever's real and what's wishfull thinking (skewed infomercial-science and conditional laws of physics to follow).
Hard-science has those pesky hard-numbers and direct smaples to boot, and thereby the sorts of objective results that can be replicated. Your infomercial-science has a nasty butt-load of fuzzy logic and even fuzzier numbers that can become skewed in order to represent just about anything you'd care to make them into. Unfortunately, there still is NO HARD-SCIENCE AS TO RAW ICE IN SPACE OR ON OUR MOON, as there's only SWAGs of conjectures as based upon what could be the case it there were a sufficient thickness of ice to begin with, such as the 262 km depth of solid ice that I'd previously stipulated as to what our once upon a time salty ice covered proto-moon had to work with.
Unfortunately, you're the one that's into excluding evidence and/or substituting whatever infomercial-science as being better than sufficient in reguard to whatever it is that you're trying to create as an illusion, such as there being vast tonnage of spare ice that's so easily accessible because it's situated as damn near naked upon the surface or just slightly under the slight coverings of collected debris, that's otherwise coexisting within the near vacuum of an environment that's extremely extra hot by day and even traumatised by night, as well as offered little gravity for hardly compacting of a damn thing, nor otherwise hosting a sufficient atmosphere for the somewhat daunting task of a lunar environment holding onto that ice or snow or of whatever else contains the element of h2o (footnotes and bibliography to follow).
In spite of folks like yourself, and as I've often said before, there's great value in accomplishing our moon, including the task of possibly extracting h2o from within that nasty sucker, and for accomplishing that sort of task there's none better than what the LSE-CM/ISS has to offer within existing technology and entirely residing within the regular laws of physics, whereas most any Usenet moron of a village idiot (even a naysay bigoted mindset like your's) can just as easily search for those having existed before my time, that which I've since discovered had been essentially saying the very same damn sorts of things, as to exactly what I've been insisting are still the greater values and opportunities that'll come to past once the Lunar Space Elevator is up and running (footnotes and bibliography to follow).
Obviously you're impressed with the sorts of NASA/NOVA fancy-dancy infomercial packaging, with lots of fancier (aka artificial color hyped) pictures and of their animated graphics with custom surround-sound tracks that'll knock your socks off, whereas otherwise you can't manage to get yourself down to the reality of appreciating one damn ordinary thing of truth without blowing yet another one of your brown-nose gaskets of denial. Even the likes of your "Tomcat Spaceplane" is someday going to fly on behalf of papering those upper most 0.1% of humanity, except without yourself onboard (because you'll be long dead by then or simply to damn poor to afford a ticket to ride), or so much as even having a single credit given to your name.
For God's sake and hope to go to heaven without first getting crucified on a stick, with a little positive and thus constructive help from the better half of humanity, I do believe that we can easily and affordably accomplish this all or nothing LL-1 thing, and thus achieve the LSE-CM/ISS, at least having established the VL2-TRACE platform, as well as robotically explore Venus via the rigid airship method, whereas this robotic craft efficiently navigates itself above the Venus terrain that's geothermally hot and nasty, as perhaps configured for cruising itself as low as 25 km off the deck by season of day and as low as 15 km by season of night. Are those terrifically good sorts of mostly robotic things to be doing, or what?
Obviously you have expressed absolutely no interest in assisting or otherwise pursuing whatever might benefit the common good of science or much less that of the lower 99.9% of humanity, nor has there been a kind "tomcat" word of support on behalf of salvaging our environment that you deny as having any problems whatsoever (other than your own words stipulating that Earth has far too many of those Islamic/Muslim types to deal with). With that much pagan brown-nosed naysayism speaking for yourself and of so many other that you obviously suck up to, only a certified minion to the Third Reich could sleep at night, and yet you've not mentioned once having any difficulty in sleeping.
Your all american apple pie in the sky that'll demand a 10,000 lb investment per SSME X 7 = 70,000 lbs of main engines and their associated inert mass of related multi-engine infrastructure that's further associated with at the very least another 330,000 lbs worth of mostly composites involved with the aerodynamic hull and vast internals of your all-in-one LH2/LO2 flying fuel tanker, along with it's 100,000 lb payload and then at the very least packing 2,500,000 lbs of LH2/LO2 that's going to take all of the electrical energy of this mostly coal-fired nation for a month in order to produce, is in fact going to SSTO+LRBs mange to LEO fly whatever's payload and wealthy passengers like a dream machine to/from the likes of ISS. That's only a naked tarmac SSTO spaceplane GLOW of 2,500,000 lbs + whatever LRBs at perhaps 2,000,000 lbs = 4,500,000 lbs of initial GLOW tarmac mass.
Whereas at 100,000 lbs/landing gear wheel is only demanding of 45 such wheels. However, since I'm no good at math, I'm not even exactly sure that an extra meter thick and alloy steal reinforced runway is going to handle that sucker, especially if anything goes wrong.
Of course, you'll only believe in anything that's in print or otherwise orchestrated by way of your born-again pagan gods, of those oil and blood suckers which only know how to be the best ever pagan liars and rusemasters as having "the right stuff", just exactly the dripping brown-nosed way you've always liked it. Even "columbiaaccidentinvestigation" can't help those so intent upon taking such global energy depleations to the max, and otherwise inflicting as much collateral damage of human and other life exterminations as yourself have thus far accomplished and clearly having in mind for the future. - Brad Guth

Our warm and fuzzy NASA was being entirely run amuck by the likes of MI6~NSA/CIA and DoD. How well do you trust those folks?
You do agree that our cold-war fiasco (all decades worth of it) was 100% mutually perpetrated for eventual blood-sport and for and all the job security loot, don't you?
Look tomcat, NASA would have and did in fact do everything within their dirty little perpetrated cold-war black book to get our folks safely to/from our moon. We most likely did orbit that nasty sucker in person a few times, and we did make every best known fly-by-rocket effort at getting our robotics safely deployed upon that dark, extremely nasty and somewhat reactive surface, even though at best we in fact impacted a good many if not all such items into it's extremely dusty and somewhat salty surface. Considering how downright pagan and/or heathens of intellectual bigots most of us are, I think that's pretty damn good. What more do you what?

Please do let me know whenever yourself or whomever else can actually prove via hard-science and of the regular laws of physics that's what happened. Too bad our NASA can not utilize much of any of their previous fly-by-rocket expertise, nor even of that supposed Saturn-V science in order to get their next mission onto the moon. Obviously your Kodak laws of photon physics are what also works entirely differently upon the naked moon than upon our Earth that's shielded by 10+t/m2 plus having the DNA butt-saving Van Allen expanse to our benefit.

We can't even defend ourselves from our very own self-inflicted trauma of global warming, much less from a few Muslims going postal. We don't have enough spare energy to create the necessary aluminum and titanium alloys or much less of the basalt composite fibers for the likes of your massive spaceplane. Mass productions of LH2, LO2 and/or the better of H2O2 as well as c3h4o are just asking too much from our failing power grids and of otherwise expecting too much from our mostly outdated and inefficient coal fired methods of supplying those electrons. Therefore, we don't stand a chance against smart ETs, whereas even the likes of their dumb and dumber ETs will seriously kick our butts.
Let's hope that such Aliens are thinking that we're too pathetic, too polluted into being too damn toxic for ETs, and otherwise simply too much of a mutated genetic lost cause to bother with. Besides, Earth still has way too much surface water for our own damn good (more than 8,000' that would cover the entire globe if Earth were sufficiently smooth, plus another 50+ teratonnes worth that's currently within the atmosphere). - Brad Guth

It is 'my belief' that NASA is going to take so long to get back to the Moon because Top Levels of the U.S. Government don't want to irritate the Aliens that are mining OUR Moon. This is why I mentioned the ISS photograph showing rectangles on the Moon. Something is going on up there. I 'suspect' it is either Martians, Venusians, or Interstellar Visitors.
The United States Air Force needs to be charged with the responsibility of keeping the Moon available for U.S. use. Congress should not let them get off the hook by sweeping this AeroSpace responsibility to the CIA, or NSA. The USAF should be informed by Congress and the President that they have 2 years to develop interplanetary warships, no if's, and's, or but's.

Other than the usual infomercial-science hype worth, what the freaking hell has "America built 10 Saturn V rockets" got to do with our supposedly having safely landed upon and having returned without a scratch from the moon?
Once again, tomcat, having the Saturn fly-by-rocket capability of getting a few tonnes of what was mostly if not an entirely of their robotic capable payload(s) so quickly into orbiting our moon is not quite the same cigar as to what the supposed Apollo tonnage amounted to, or of what their absolutely inert massive Apollo missions were supposedly all about. Besides, as I've said so many times before, orbiting the moon along with a live crew is still as of today going to remain as risky business though NOT nearly as risky as for having to safely land upon and returning from that nasty lunar surface as of nearly 4 decades ago, and to think without so much as a scratch nor hardly picking up a spare rad of radiation dosage, or of otherwise obtaining an unfiltered Kodak moment without such naked photopraphic efforts having so much as recorded any spectrum skew or hint whatsoever of there being any extra near-UV and/or horrific UV-a illumination impact that just doesn't add up, now does it?
Obviously you're so pathetic that you know not of a damn thing about Kodak film, thus your're worse than just dumb and dumber, and thereby so much worse off than being dumbfounded simply because you're so easily snookered at the drop of a hat. For Christ on another stick, tomcat, we still don't have a viable fly-by-rocket lander. Good grief, what absolute born-again pagan denial you have, and of having only infomercial-science to show for it all.
Getting that hefty three man package to/from LL-1 was however entirely Saturn 5 doable with energy to spare of what their inert massive Saturn-V had within it's absolutely massive (meaning inert heavy) rocket-butt. Meaning that it was entirely possible to make LL-1 with enough reserves for sending ahead the critical portion of what their missions intended (with or w/o crew) for orbiting and for their otherwise honest attempts at robotic soft-landings upon our moon. Robotic landing efforts are unfortunately NOT the same as a manned landing.
Within the all-knowing good book of "tomcat'; how many lies is our NASA (aka MI6~NSA/CIA/DoD) permitted to tell us before they're reclassified by yourself as being liars? Aparently that number of lies may exceed 100 (much like your LLPOF GW Bush) before reaching any red-line of when they've officially become certified liars according to the "tomcat" high standards and accountability score card of your "so what's the difference" policy.
Where if ever have I even once suggested that we didn't honestly try every last good and bad trick within our Third Reich engineered books of such fly-by-rocket science, as to making those Apollo missions happen? I'm absolutely certain them dirty rotten Russians with their very own Third Reich rocket-scientists were making the same best efforts, though without their risking astronaut certain death is why they focused upon their AI/robotic landers wich also failed each and every time (at least there's still not proof otherwise).

Let me correct myself. America built 15 -- according to the Wikipedia Encylopedia -- Saturn V's, 3 of which never flew. It could put a 260,000 pound payload into LEO.
With that much horsepower there would be no reason to fake the moon landings. The Saturn V could do it. And, back in 1969 and early 70's neither DOD nor NASA worried to much about a few rads of radiation. we were 'lean and mean' back then. What were a couple of casualities when we had just lost hundreds of thousands of men in WWII.

Yes it does add up. America was tough. General Twining used to host the "BiG PICTURE" on TV and talk about cutting our way into the iron curtain using nuke after nuke. We might lose a couple of thousand tanks, but they would be replaced with thousands more. Americans could go into their underground bunkers to wait out the war. Everybody knew that our 'logic machine' Generals, like Twining and LeMay, would win. They had no equals anywhere.
America's potential enemies knew that too. So they behaved themselves; they did not fly airplanes into our skyscrapers. They wouldn't dare! Even the Aliens kept their distance. America was safe because of the bravest, strongest Generals that have ever existed.

However, none of my fibs or mistakes have cost humanity trillions nor gotten innocent folks exterminated, much less of getting the quail looking face of a supposed friend blasted by my shotgun. So, unlike yourself and of those you clearly admire at any cost to humanity and of our badly polluted global warming environment, what's your morally sick-puppy point as to justifying the exterminations of countless millions upon millions of innocent souls, and of our past and the ongoing pillaging and raping of mother Earth, just so that your mindset of denials upon denials can sleep at night?

Isn't it simply amazing when such good folks have formulated their born-again pagan mindsets into such a dedicated focus at creating and of having sustained a perpetrated cold-war (at least there has been no stinking rules about any of that), just so that thousands of WW-II folks and of their close friends (AKA partners in crimes against humanity) could maintain their government and subcontractor jobs along with such vast benefits forever, not to mention all of the secret fundings of science, technology and of special interest activities that only directly benefitted the upper most 0.1% of humanity, and indirectly at best the upper most 10% perceived some degree of benefit at the risk and ultimate demise of their own kind (apparently Hitler didn't have such a bad idea after all).
I'm certainly well enough convinced that our NASA(aka MI6~NSA/CIA/DoD) had obtained all of "the right stuff", such as from the spoils of WW-II having obtained all those smart German Third Reich rocket-scientists and of their Jewish collaborators in their petrol-chemical industries that so nicely managed to perform the greatest show on Earth. That accomplishment rightfully goes for the USSR contingency and of whomever else was willing to play along with the game plan of snookering humanity and of raping mother Earth for all it was worth.
I'll tell you what, the very next time I'm having another one of my personal one on one talks with Usama bin Laden, I'll ask of his honest opinion about our supposed "play by the rules" of such high standards and accountability. I wonder what I'm going to be told?
>It is time for America to develop alternative fuel sources. It is time >to unleash some of that "black project" science and technology. But you're the one that's not doing a constructive damn thing but having been ignoring the hard-facts (AKA evidence excluding until them NASA/Apollo cows come home) as well as having avoided the better of technological solutions and/or as having consistently and actively obstructed upon every possible alternative. Why is that?

I guess that the technicians complain about skyscraper sized rockets and waveriders.
NASA is currently moving toward a 'heavy lifter' for the Moon and beyond. I hope that means a million pounds to orbit and a quarter of a million pound to escape velocity.

Actually, a properly functioning economy can make everybody rich. Yes, that is possible.
If unlimited goods accompany unlimited money with a reasonably fair distribution of wealth, then there will be no inflation and everyone will have a piece of the pie.
All that needs to be done is to automate resource gathering, manufacturing, distribution, and marketing, then crank this machine to full power and watch the results. Imagine thousands of orders for 'tomcat's spaceplane' with the 8 billion dollars wired to me up front.

Mankind has growing pains. Best just to 'crank the economy up' and see what happens. As long as people realize that pollution is wasted material, and excess heat is wasted electricity, then industry will stop polluting, regardless of greatly increased production.

Why is that? I believe that I am being very constructive. NASA is doing the job of conquering Outer Space and that is of some considerable merit. If they bought one of my spaceplanes they would conquer it even faster.
> We've had countless thousands if not 10's of thousands of supposedly > intelligent years to work out a few bugs, and obviously we'll need [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > over the dregs of fossil fuels rather than contribute to the solutions > at hand. I don't know why doing Outer Space is taking so long either. Instead of just building a really big powerful spaceplane, engineers seem to prefer building small ones and then spending decades 'tweaking' them to put 'small +1" into orbit. Instead they should just build a big spaceplane capable of blasting a quarter of million pounds of payload to escape velocity. That would get things going.
I have high hopes for the 'heavy lifter' they are working on, however. If it can put a million pounds in LEO then maybe, at last, they will have built one big enough to do what needs to be done.

If the Saturn V stack of merely three stages (4 stage is only if you include a 2nd burn of their 3rd stage) was so gosh darn 100+% translunar payload capable, and thereby so energy efficient and obviously 100+% reliable, not to mention that all of the spendy R&D was 100+% bought and paid for, then why bother with the spendier task of having to R&D from scratch as to creating a mostly solid stack of what's essentially a less reliable 6-stage alternative that's only good for LEO, especially weird because it's also so much less payload efficient even though the inert mass (dead weight) of their GLOW is so much less than what the Saturn stack had to deal with, that which the Saturn V supposedly man |
