Does anybody recall or have a web-link about the design that is using H2O2 for fuel? I'm curious what benefits and drawbacks the fuel has and what lead them to believe it is the best for their rocket.
There are 23 other registered groups from seven countries competing for the $10 million cash prize. There are teams from Russia, United Kingdom, Romania, Israel, Argentina and two from Canada. The rest are headquartered in the U.S.
Seriously the prize should be for the FIRST team to develop a truly new launch system! anything else is a waste of resources!
No. They have to do the 2 flights in a margin of 2 weeksMy bet would be on him, he just has to do it again, with two more ppl
There's only one real problem with that idea - who's going to pay for it ?cronxeh said:If you want to launch stuff into space - the best way is to EM-accelerate them like a bullet, with a spin, and send off flying into outer space at a ZOOMing speed.
That's not a problem, that's a benefit. A rail-gun satellite launcher would be much cheaper than chemical rockets for launching satellites. But there are limitations such as payload size, durability, and orbital inclination.drag said:There's only one real problem with that idea - who's going to pay for it ?
