FG In Space

Post by **spot** » Sun Aug 31, 2008 11:30 am

I note that NASA is retiring its Shuttle fleet in 2010. Is there any interest in FG bidding to take the obsolete ships at scrap value and continuing to fly them? We'd need somewhere with a few acres and room for bunkering but we could make up for the expense by charging tourists for flights round the planet.

Oh... and a long runway if any member's got one. Lon? It needs to be roughly east-west oriented with a sandpit at each end.

Is that Nomad on the left between the two women. :-4 I may never get another chance to go into space so sign me up. Seems there might be plenty of wetland in New Orleans soon, Nah to wet I say the Salt Flats in Utah will do.

My Dr. advised me as well with the damage to my spine the G-forces would cripple me but what a way to go. Heck I'm ready and today willing and able. :-6

I reckon if we pack that tight with perchlorate it'll do for the solid fuel booster strap-ons, Betty. We'll need around four hundred tons for each launch mind.

Taking into account natural flatulence?

Do you really have a spaceship ?

What kind of snacks will you be providing ?

Youre not planning on leaving us stranded on some barren planet are you ?

Is this a profit thing ?

In flight movies ?

Have you ever even flown a spaceship before ?

Whats really going on here spock, is this a cry for help ?
