    Best position for a cockpit? (in a spaceship doing high G maneuvers)

    Ref Bridge As boats became bigger steering from the rear got harder ... big paddle steamers had a metal bridge/walkway that spanned the paddle wheel covers ... hence the origin of the term Bridge! Centre of mass is usually close to centre of rotation ... best place to put a cockpit / bridge on...

    Undergrad Measuring the Velocities of Astronomical Objects in the Milky Way

    Ref orbital velocities of planets in our solar system The speeds constantly change due to subtle interactions with other planets and other non planetary mass We have yet to map all the mass in the solar system ... no mass map = no accurate speed map Lots of work is ongoing and accuracy is...

    Can I build an SSTO spaceplane if I win the lottery?

    The EDF ALTO1 is designed to shoot down incoming asteroids, small ones. It is MACH 4 capable at very high altitudes and designed to survive MACH 10 dives above the Karman Line. Its other use is to launch small payloads into LEO, eg CubeSats, or Droids and Supplies for the upcoming ETERNITY...

    Can I build an SSTO spaceplane if I win the lottery?

    Radian uses a rocket sledge as the first stage if i recall correctly.An SSTO plane would cost around £ 500,000, if you are designing it right! (my day job!) Most modern supersonic fighter jets could cross the Karman Line if they carried a fairly large SRB and achieve a parabolic orbit of some...

    Books on the Thickness and Material of Space Suits

    Adam Savage is a fan of space suits, he has a youtube channel, lots of close up shots *Im involved in designing T - Suits for the ETERNITY Starship Project ... Space suits tend to have a dozen or so thin layers rather than one thick one. The layers serve different purposes.... thickness overall...
