Blue's rocket clues

The Alt.Space community is fortunate to have another commercial contender establishing a new spacecraft design and another spaceport. With three or four suborbital space vehicles being on-line by 2010 (inc. Explorer of Space Adventures), the pressure will be on to take the next step to orbit at low cost. But space enthusiasts and space journalists alike will be BUSY keeping-up as suborital efforts converange from design and test to passenger reality.

Alan Boyle, perhaps, may write the Consumer Report on suborbital carrier comparisons in 2010 or 2011.

Trackback: From Cosmic Blog, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is looking to the future, again: Some of the contenders in the commercial spaceflight race are more hush-hush than others - and virtually no one is more secretive than Blue Origin, the space

Moonage Spacedream (http://moonagewebdream.blogs.com/
moonage_spacedream/2006/06/blue_origin.html) is interested in more information about peroxide/kerosene propulsion ... This entry from Encyclopedia Astronautica might be of help:

Also, there's a question about a "Plan B" for descent in case the engines fail. The Plan B would be the parachute system.

I read this article with great interest, thank you. However, more "development" of old WWII German rocket technology is becoming boring. Rocketry and winged aircraft should be obsolete by now. Can anyone write about more advanced (and perhaps gravity-defying) wingless, discoid craft also developed by German scientists during the early 1940's? Anything out there on electromagnetic propulsion systems? (Ref. www.Viktor Schaumberger and and www.HAUNEBU II).

Regarding Schlesinger's question: "Anything out there on electromagnetic propulsion systems?"

Yes. See http://members.dancris.com/~bfraser/4v4a/ADVPROP.html
(especially the section about Motion Cancellers).

ESA-funded experiments demonstrate that a superconductive gyroscope can generate a powerful gravitomagnetic field:-

Not exactly antigravity, but an intriguing physical effect nonetheless. No word as to whether this effect can actually be harnessed for propulsion :-)

It is great to see a new era in the "space race", humanity has been at such a huge halt since we have reached the moon. Hopefully with these new companies the future of humanity in space will gain more interest and increase in the next 20 years.

Sure, the rockets become boring and should be obsolete by the time these space-farers begin to roar by the end of this decade.

I exhort you billionaires, 'invisible slopes' is the way to go! Piggy back on Einstein's or somebody esle's idea and float through distances without roaring! Don't ask me how yet!!

The new 'invisibility' substance is reported to not only divert visual bandwidth EM, but also seismic waves. If so, it must be a true insulator from all electrostatic-gravitic effects, in which case, redusing the inerta of a spacecraft might be unexpectedly easy, leading to very rapid, yet low to zero g on the inside, accelerations to significant percentages of c. Very handy for a trip around the block (solar system)

This is the best information one can get about good news. Keep up the information and candid comments. we need more intelligent inputs on the future. Blue Origin is right on target.

Corporations like Blue Origin, Bigelow Aerospace and others like them are overlooking one small matter, that of crew/passenger safety due to solar flares and the consequential space sickness such as was experienced by crew members of earlier missions. Our corporation in Kanata (Ottawa) has been working on a magnetic slip stream device which will operate like the Earth's protective magnetic field. This device is a magnetic nano carbon device, which is also being looked at as a magnetic scatterer for a long range wireless antenna for ahead of real time propagation for communications with the space vessel while in deep space, such as the Mars Mission.

"YOU MOVE FALSE!" SPIRALMAGNETISM & YOU NEED NO FUEL TO FLY. Build your own Elektoromagneticfield.

Explosion (fast burning) in an spiral, with a littele end gives you good boost, but Your own Elektromagneticfield gives you moore boost and u have not to pay for energy, cause it make energy
