I seriously hope we see another reusable spacecraft in our lifetimes. Nothing else will compare to the shuttles until that goal is achieved.
One of things I love about the Halo games is that a lot of the technology they have set in the future seems completely feasible. Like the Pelican for example. I can totally see technology progressing to the point where we have aircraft that can achieve orbit without the use of rocket boosters. http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__...ch-pelican.jpg And Jordan brings up a good topic. Maneuverability in space is going to be key for reusable spacecraft in the future. The shuttles could do some stuff (like the backflip maneuver posted earlier) but not much. |

While attending the National Flight Academy I spoke to several retired Air Force officers who swore upon the existence of "out of this world" technology. One who was stationed at Maxwell AFB spoke technology similar to this that used anti gravity and electromagnetic propulsion. These men are not the type to be dishonest; I fully trust their stories. Physics as we know it is not written in stone. I will promise you that. Ive seen it myself. |
I think that anti-gravity or being able to harness it to create a gravity field is the pinnacle of propulsion. There would really be no reason to replace it, although planes are inherently limited by the pilot, it's only a few years until we see more and more remotely piloted vehicles. It overall just makes sense, take the risk, enhance the performance to the structural limits of the vehicle, not the person.
I think solar is the next boom efficiency is the main problem with it now. A bit of a tangent, but then again everytime humans have tried to forecast the future we're way off with expectations both ways. We think too much into what we have now, and not enough into what doesn't exist yet. |

Holy shi........
Thats redonkukous! :lol: |
If I'm correct, that's the Soviet's shuttle, Buran and its carrier.
|
Yep that's Buran.
They have one of our 747 and the shuttles. The one Ken posted is fake. |
Huh?

Hopefully Intrepid has some sort of plan to protect Enterprise during these snow storms. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they don't.
|
That would be a shame but I like you said.....
Sometimes we as an whole race. .....:doh: |

That kind of wreckless crap gets under my skin. Its only history right:der: :rules: |
Especially since it's over 40 years old too.
But as a NY Times writer said, "It's just a fake Space Shuttle" Pfftt. http://ut-images.s3.amazonaws.com/wp...9/ECN-8923.jpg http://www.wired.com/images/article/...prise_580x.jpg http://galaxywire.net/wp-content/upl...prise_test.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Enterprise.jpg http://images.fineartamerica.com/ima...an-lockett.jpg http://www.neutralzone.de/database/P..._ALT_Patch.jpg http://images.fineartamerica.com/ima...an-lockett.jpg http://pic90.picturetrail.com/VOL216.../126350208.jpg http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/wp-co...12/04/Z326.jpg http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/015...rier.jpeg?4482 http://galaxywire.net/wp-content/upl...o-saturn-v.jpg http://i.space.com/images/i/000/009/...jpg?1302185968 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...figuration.jpg http://imgc.allpostersimages.com/ima...ce-complex.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3059/2...4a0_z.jpg?zz=1 |
Ignorance among the media? Never!
Soulless bunch of degenerates. Rant over. I am at this moment arguing the biast attitude of the liberal media with a friend over facebook. Apparently foxnews is racist and cnn reports nothing but trueful knowledge. I want the media in general to stop pretending as if they are the aclu. It makes me livid! |
You should totally post a link or take screenshots. Fen and I love Facebook fights.
I just want one news channel that says nothing but non-bias facts. Is that too much to ask for? |
