Paraffin Wax Hybrid Solid Rocket Fule....
Oxidizer blown across the Paraffin with resulting gases ignited reaches the closest thrust as the solids used now for the Space Shuttle... Close enough to actually do heavy lifts and it can be a controlled burn by muzzling the Oxidizer....
Then when someone says to "Light this Candle" that is exactly what they will be doing

I read about that a little while back, forgot where. But it does make sense. And it is a lot more stable then other fuels.

Both Shuttle Disasters were caused by human error in judgment. Personally I feel they should have a trial over both happenings because they ended up being based completely on money and Bureaucratic Bull..
and BOTH times the actual Engineers told them what very well could happen and it is what happened *BOOM*....

Somehow I think they didn't mind failures with the space program. It gave them an excuse to cut money from it.

On the way to work this morning....talk radio....some Dr. of UFO...ology was saying that NASA and this new endeavor by the government was just a "show" for the public. That in reality we already have a small manned space station on the moon. Putting shuttles into space on 1940's technology rockets was again a "show". That we have already developed and use some kind of anti-gravity technology to deploy air/spacecrafts into space. Might be all just a bunch of bunk, but the comment about the 1940's technology made me wonder just a little bit.

You want to boost the nation's morale? How about spending the money that we would spend on a moon walk on looking for a cure for cancer? A national health program? A cure for Aids? Finding people more jobs? Getting us the f**k out of Iraq quicker? You want to boost morale then get that moron out of the oval office who's done nothing but lower national morale and get someone in there that can get the job done right.
I believe in the NASA. I don't believe in wasting money going to the moon. I think they should be trying to figure out how to get our ships to fly faster not make a return trip to a dusty rock.

Jafo: Native Americans have spent a few hundred years being called Indians because Columus was fairly sure of where he was. You sure they aren't just keeping you on the set of Crocodile Hunter? Do the flags wave there? Maybe we need pics to find flaws in.

and exactly how would this work to get things into outer space. I guess it could levitate things and slowly bring them up. I think the most promising technology to getting things into space is the slingshot stuff. gigantic rail guns and stuff. and more stuff. and some beans. and a couple of tums to reduce the aftershock.

Actually iPlural makes a good point (even if he didn't mean to)... boost the nation's morale by developing an alternative fuel source so we don't have to kiss OPEC's @$$ anymore or pollute the environment as much as we are.

Wonder why we haven't built a nuclear-fuel driven spaceship yet? You could get it up in space the traditional way and then jump start the reactors while away from the earth.
