Hi Everyone,
I have been editing the space propulsion page. It seems NASA is going
for a kero/lox engine for the booster for the shuttle replacement.
Wouldn't it be cheaper and QUICKER to buy Russia's RD-170 which has
been well tested and was used in Russia's Energia Rocket. I just want
NASA to get things happening! I am tired of waiting for a bit of
action. I love the shuttle, its a fantastic machine, but its getting
old and having problems. Personally I do not mind if NASA went back
to the old capusle and expendable rocket. I want us to get out of
Earth orbit. We have the technology and ZERO will!While I was
updating the page with a new look etc, I found a great CD-Rom book!
The title is very long!

I have been adding lots of small links in the space propulsion
section. In the next aerospaceguide newsletter, I do a review of the
British National Centre. It was excellent to visit for educational
purposes.
Has any used it? It looks interesting! I'm in the process of adding
some space shuttle posters, hubble posters and more.
