The best way I can think of to get a prototype of the one system that will
enable star travel a few hundred years or so, would be to draw-up a proposal
and/or contract with NASA. > About 10yrs ago, NASA had developed a motor or
rotor that could maintain a rate of 60,000 Rpm's (1,000 Rps's), and that
data would be detrimental.
Not too long ago, NASA had
also been considering and/or was in the early stages of developing a
Spaceplane that would take-off like a plane, and then reach orbit. > I think
it's
development was stopped or discontinued due to an insoluble aerodynamic
issue, because they couldn't accurately conduct any test at the required Mach
22
(?) inordewr to attain orbit.
At any rate, this whole complete 'other' system
that I'd like to propose, is all-but ideal for propelling that wannabe
Spaceplane, because it could attain orbit at only Mach 1 or 2. > Upon reaching
space at this speed, you would then initiate a proper RTO, and if so desired,
generate a rather unhealthy G force (you know, for humans), which will
enable you to reach orbital-speed in only a matter of a few seconds.
Now, I fully realize that a Spaceplane that uses this 'other'
system will require some highly developed form of HENR system, thus some very
special sensitive attention to detail must be considered upon it's TOD (time
of departure). > IOW's, you don't want to plan your TOD in a tornado or
hurricane (obviously), but should any trouble arise in your immediate path
ahead, this system/craft has the maneuvering capabilities that could enable you
to rather easily avoid it. </HTML>
