If Musk's team started using exotic propulsion of that sort, they would put him out of business. With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible |

(OP) Senior Forum Moderator 09/27/2019 05:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You are correct to call it a "monstrosity". It's repackaged and slightly improved 1920's Robert Goddard technology. Quoting: Neil WeakLegs 77675510 That's a bit like calling the Concord a repackaged Wright flyer. I'm sorry but you were dead wrong. Other than being a liquid fuel rocket oh, it shares almost nothing in common with the original Goddard prototype. This is cutting-edge technology it stands to be potentially the world's first fully reusable orbital rocket. This could open up the solar system in ways we haven't even fully grasped yet. |

I suppose that's one of the benefits of being the guy who designed it. If you ever go to the Rocket Garden at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center you can generally tell which Rockets were designed by Wernher von Braun because he had this philosophy that it was not a real rocket unless it had fins. I think he would approve of this design as well. |

If Musk's team started using exotic propulsion of that sort, they would put him out of business. Quoting: SevenThunders You will notice that it is not within the interest of the petroleum-based monopolies to promote the use of such technologies. You will also notice that agencies like NASA soak up the smartest engineers and scientists, then give them "busy work" so that they spend their entire career designing a better fuel pump, a reusable rocket, etc. In that way, they think that they are accomplishing something great as they make a minor improvement, such as slightly better nozzle on an engine. Meanwhile, the Military Industrial Complex can work on the real technology under cover, as the people who would normally be questioning them are occupied with the "busy work".

There are many places to go beyond belief." |

User ID: 77985260 United States 09/27/2019 06:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | After the first return landing I said here that Tintin would be proud. I didn't know he was influence by him. I find it interesting that the work yard where SpacexX is building the proof of concept for there Starship looks like a run of the mill... work yard. Like a oil rig site or a regular construction site. I would think when they get down to building the actual ship or ships, it will take on a clean room approach. Just thinking out loud, carryon.

It's one thing to believe something, it's another to investigate it and find the truth. (Note: The quote I provided above contains an extra word. It should be "one of truth's" without the word "the" before truth.) He was not talking about general investigation. Armstrong was very specific. "There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of truth's protective layers. There are many places to go beyond belief." He was saying that there are (not might be) many places to go and the breakthrough is available to those who can remove one (that is one specific) protective layer. He was saying there is one specific layer or obstacle in the way of the truth, but if that one obstacle is removed, then there will be many places to go. This obstacle presently stands in the way of going to these places, and these places are not insignificant, but are "beyond belief" to someone who is hindered by one specific obstacle. |

I read it as a message to school kids (which it was) about how you can make breakthrough discoveries if you remove one of truth's protective layers, in other words, find hidden truth that wasn't known before. That's what science does. |
