  1. LEVIATHAN Rising: An Alternative Space Age

    Concerning exotic fuels... I think the ZIP Fuel debacle did sour the Pentagon on that one...

  2. Eyes Turned Skywards

    Stock KSP or RP-1?

  3. Charles Steward dies on the way to Spain...

    I just listened to the latest episode of the 'The History of England' Podcast, which talked about that strange journey of Charles Steward and go incognito to Spain in 1623 together with George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham. Now... They travelled through France for a bit. So what if they had...

  4. LEVIATHAN Rising: An Alternative Space Age

    Do yourself a favour and get the audio book version as well. The narrator just nails the dry humour of the work.

  5. LEVIATHAN Rising: An Alternative Space Age

    That reminds me... Doctor John Clark, of Ignition! fame, worked at the Naval Air Rocket Test Station at Dover, New Jersey as chief chemist. Will he show up here? ;)

  6. Path to the Stars - An alternate spaceflight TL

    You might want to add a lot more paragraph breaks. Its extremely hard to read this block of text you made.

  7. Boldly Going: A History of an American Space Station

    Okay... I want to know the payload capabilities of the Heimdall and the Atlas III... >_>

  8. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Well, I was more talking about the interesting concept of an Atlas flyback booster combined with a Centaur derived shuttle. Yes, it has its problems, but it is an interesting concept from the 60s. And Scott just got 4 bucks from me for the document... :p

  9. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Thank you for bringing this to my attention. :p

  10. Right Side Up: A History of the Space Transportation System

    Because the F-1B in this case would need to be restartable and reusable, compared to the single use F-1 and F-1A

  11. Implications for the Space Race starting six years earlier

    Von Braun could easily have launched Explorer I (or whatever name it would have been with Project Orbiter) with the first Jupiter C rocket in 1956. The problem was that the Redstone (first Stage of the Jupiter C) was based on A-4/V-2 and had former Nazi scientists and engineers working on it...

  12. Some ATL US Space Program questions, with pictures.

    Politics. Its a rewrite of my 'Seeing Further', which involves Alien artifacts on Mars. While clearly there, Nixon still has the Space Task Group and people thought that they have years to get to Mars, as the Soviets can't even go to the Moon. So NASA, while waiting for a decision, pitches the...

  13. Some ATL US Space Program questions, with pictures.

    The Wet/Dry workshop concept was developed during the 1950s to use existing rockets that had expanded their fuels as stations by opening up the tanks, meaning that they were 'wet' during ascent. A dry workshop is 'Dry' during ascent, the best example is Skylab. As I said, SLS lite, the Math...

  14. Some ATL US Space Program questions, with pictures.

    I've been doing some work on a rewrite of 'Seeing Further' and decided to go with a near OTL STS shuttle (save for a pair of jet engines in the wing roots for more cross range), and needed an HLV for a Mars mission (nuclear). So I've done some math and design for an SLS lite, by merely sticking...

  15. Environmental Anti-Nuclear Movement Question

    @Johnrankins @DValdron Question: Did you see THIS? If you want to argue about something not covering the OP, do it elsewhere!

  16. Environmental Anti-Nuclear Movement Question

    No talk about DDT and Asbestos (even if @DValdron is correct), this is about nuclear power.

  17. Environmental Anti-Nuclear Movement Question

    Yes. Edited the title to clarify... >_>

  18. Environmental Anti-Nuclear Movement Question

    What would be needed to reduce the influence of the Anti-Nuclear Movements of the 1970s and 80s on politic and public opinion? No Thee Mile Island Incident? No 'China Syndrome' movie?

  19. Post revolutionary Iran as US ally in the mid east?

    I'm just wondering. What would have needed to happen before, during or after the Iranian Revolution to keep Iran in the orbit of the United States as an ally in the area? The Shah dying of his cancer before he could be admitted to a hospital in the US, which potentially prevents the Hostage...

  20. Solar Power Satellites & Politics What if?

    So, keep O'Neill out of the project and discredit Proxmire (who has always been the bane of every space enthusiast)? :p
