90-100km long, run on solar power and the Earth's magnetic field, launched with one rocket. Re-usable sling to send people and cargo to the Moon with the only need for propellant to get them back again.<br /><br />http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/content/?id=4202 plus has a brilliant video of it working. Very slick video.

Ah, that's because the videos (about 250mbs worth for this story) go on what we call the FTP server, a dedicated fast upload/download server we've purchased to allow registered users to download videos at a fast speed.<br /><br />We had to make it for people who are signed up to the forum as we'd end up crashing the server if people simply linked the areas of the FTP. That's the only reason, so please be assured you don't have to sign up - I'll happily e-mail you the links if you PM me.
