Currently reading two books. Starship Troopers and The Crusades.

Well I already have about twelve Jenny's. ;)

Welcome home, Discovery!

Actually no, I celebrated with the King. Now I just feel dirty.... :lol: None the less, I feel like a ki... well, I'm still only 20.... I feel good to back with Orbiter again!

Late last year, I found myself drifting from Orbiter. Amongst other things, primarily real life issues, nothing of the bad sort, drew me away from Orbiter, and somewhat the computer in general. After that, my computer had become so slow with such unneeded stuff on it that it couldn't even run a...

Should make this a warning by the Surgeon General.

I love this thread... Good ol' Tuesday... HAIL PROBE!!!

"Do you really expect me to find a proper launch azimuth from your hidden volcano base and thus propel myself into orbital flight where I'd then link with other spacecraft to save the day again?" "Nooooo Mr. Bond, I expect you to die!"

Don't you think that's a little selfish? I mean really, if someone came up to you right now and said "We want you on the next shuttle mission." you would turn that opportunity down? Just to be able to go into space would be a treat for me.

High performance? Heavens no. I'm not in the Air Force. Private licensed in an aviation company for experimental commercial aircraft. More or less, lear jets and small jet engined aircraft. It's not a job, so I'm not paid but I still log the hours in it. Been doing it for some years now. And...

Let's see all I'd need is a Masters in Geology and about 800 more flying hours and I'm good to go!

Now was that REALLY necessary?

No no, I know you were joking. Okay and SpaceCowboy... HOW is LAUNCHING from ANTARTICA, a GOOD SOLUTION to the idea of going to the MOON in FOUR YEARS? Seriously?

Yes we did, but one person here thought you were actually serious and trying to give ideas. :rofl:

He won't post it. It's a "secret." Because no one's ever considered ad-space on rockets. And SpaceCowboy, my idea IS a lot more feasible. I'm not looking to go to the Moon like you want in such a short time that is in 4 years. I'm just looking to get something to touch space. Sub-orbital...

That or this'll be us.

Oh I'm sure as well that chances of this idea going full blown are slim to none. But I feel if we got enough people interested and motivated, we could atleast try.

Oh I'm full of all the legal ramifications of such a project. Also, as far as getting people together, we could maybe have geographical sections, ie: US Gulf Coast, UK Eastcoast, etc. And have section leaders who'd keep in touch. Then we could all get together somehow for launches, or just...

After today's events, I got this thought, now don't be so quick to shoot it down my fellow orbitnauts. But what if we tried just getting into space? We could form our own private space agency, founded by us here. We all have the knowledge, most have the time, and some have the experience. And...

So because I outed your plans you're going to say you lied the whole time? 1) Typic reaction of a kid. 2) What if I had been serious? Then you had lied to me all along.
