| The Fermi Paradox and SETI Success | 19 Aug 2008 16:12 GMT | 163 |
Fermi's paradox suggests that there are little or no other intelligent
civilizations within the Milky Way galaxy. On the other hand, intelligent
life should exist on a substantial fraction of planets with life because
natural selection broadly increases intelligence with time. ...

I have seen several shows on the science channel (among others) that

extent seen on Mars -- if the Earth did not have a strong
magnetosphere.

| This solid booster vibration/resonance problem. | 05 Aug 2008 17:57 GMT | 4 |
May sound very silly, but I was wondering if this problem could be
mineralised by making several auxiliary 'vernier' nozzles on the side of
the solid segments, so the vibration is disrupted.

OK, we have done it, what was the point exactly? The apparent eternal search

Imagine a hydrogen oxygen rocket engine with an exit nozzle diameter
of 17 meters in diameter, 36 meters long and produces a thrust of
53,300 tonnes with a specific impulse of 450 seconds.
Now imagine a three stage rocket built around this engine.

will eventually also need to be taken.
