Time to start a new group about: cheap access to space (?)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #8871 of 8990 |
I'm thinking having a new group started called "cheapspaceaccess".
This group would discuss any and all technologies, both SE or anything
else, for getting into space cheaply.

The different technologies could have their strengths and weaknesses
discussed by their respective advocates and critics.

These discussions about non-SE technologies I find interesting.
However, I think they could be better served on a list explicitly
about them.

If you people would want to join this new group, let me know.
This group could be started either by me or one of you more frequent
contributors to this group.

The real solution is to enlarge the charter to include aerovator and other "vators". As for "low cost to space" ideas, there are plenty of other unreasonable...
