Anonymous Coward User ID: 300 United States 06/16/2006 09:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You could do the whole process from material processing to building the actual ships in space if you go about the process right. Build mining and processing ships first, find some near earth asteroids with high metal content to mine, process the components and ship them to a dry dock to assemble the ship. The only parts needing to be lifted from earth would be specialized coatings and the electronics. |

The only parts needing to be lifted from earth would be specialized coatings and the electronics. Still need a revolutionary propulsion system to be able to do just that... Without a revolutionary and new propulsion system there is no use in building space ships... Now, It can be done only be done at an enormous cost, time and possibly human lifes... |

I have my negative inertia space drive connected to my house, along with my "Zeta" designed shield bubble, should I hide them? You are a fluke of the universe. You have no right to be here.

Halcyon Dayz User ID: 84549 Netherlands 06/16/2006 09:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Space Battleship Yamato must be the dumbest (fictional) spaceship design ever. It even has an anchor. Actually, it's a non-design. Just the old Yamato with fins attached. [link to upload.wikimedia.org] Reaching for the sky makes you taller. Hi! My name is Halcyon Dayz and I'm addicted to morans. |
