He seems to get so many of his ideas from what he sees on television, anyone check the TV guide for last night, make sure this movie wasn't on? :rofl:

In fact US Army has been allowed, as result of USAF objections, only very limited fixed-wing capabilities:

Hence the army has concentrated on helicopters. USAF, for its part, has full range of aircraft, including tactical fighters, trainers, transports, tankers, ISR/EW planes, etc., etc., etc.

Brihard said:Logistics, logistics, logistics. One of the biggest barriers to interplanetary travel is launching enough fuel off of earth to propel something the rest of the way. If infrastructure can be established off-Earth that would allow for fuel to be produced without the need to lift it off the planet’s surface, that would be huge. I could envision something being developed to produce fuel on the moon from extracted materials, and to fuel a ship assembled in Earth orbit to then push out farther.

Based on Matt Damon growing potatoes in "The Martian," some legal precedent of 'homesteading through cultivation' could establish a claim for either Prince Edward Island or Ireland. :dunno:Jarnhamar said:….or go big and just set up shop on Mars?
