That's a little off topic.

Does any one have any comments that might actually be useful to us in progressing the company. Quitting is not an option.

<b>RSEV December Update</b><br /><br />The RSEV Project is looking for computer programmers to develop a new operating system to become the standard for spacecraft compute operations. Programmers should have a strong knowledge of Apple computer hardware and architecture and be familiar with Unix coding. Contact the company president or see the company website (software.rsevproject.com) or the sourceforge.net site (sourceforge.net/projects/rsev-swdev) for more information. This project is being developed as Open Source under the Apple Public Source License. This is currently a voluntary position.<br /><br />The RSEV Project is looking for talented people in sales and marketing to act as marketing representatives. These representatives would work in their prospective areas to develop marketing plans and strategies to promote the company concept and goals, improve public awareness of space endeavors and collect donations in support of the company. This is a regular employee position. Applicants should be skilled in dealing with people, sales or marketing experience preferred. See the employment section of the company website for more information.<br /><br />Spacecraft design development continues with the current focus being on the ship’s space frames and primary structure. Material research analysis continues threw volunteer efforts. Facility and spacecraft construction plans are being developed slowly as we attempt to determine where and how we will build the ship. This is currently in the concept stages. We are still attempting to gather funds in order to begin the 501c application process and acquire needed software for more detailed design and testing. Until sufficient funds are gather to begin physical work we continue devel

Ben<br />Please correct the spelling mistake in your website:<br />"Be <font color="red">apart</font>of the Space Industry" <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

Spelling has been checked and it is correct. Thankyou.

That's not encouraging. Spellchecking means more than that it is a valid word. It also means that it is the right one. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John. Monsters.

<font color="yellow">"It also means that it is the right one. "</font><br /><br />Both you and spacefire are completely missing the point. It *is* the right word. I can think of almost nothing further apart from the space industry than the content at that website.

 

[MeteorWayne]

I also had that thought.<br />Maybe that is what he meant after all <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.

what a bunch of meanies here! <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

But, on a serious note, I have a piece of advice for Ben:<br />Either he comes up with a viable, well analzyed, detailed design and then tries to attract investors, or initiates a valid business plan, attracts investors, then hires engineers and leaves the design entirely to them. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

All rights reserved.<br /><br />There are many things which affect the design of an aircraft or a spacecraft. How it will be used is just one of the larger concerns. When coming up with the design of our first spacecraft we wanted to do something different from other “space launch vehicles”. We wanted to make a true spaceship. We had some very specific design criteria which we are going for which address a multitude of issues and waste produced with conventional launch systems. What we wanted to our craft to do is;<ol type="1"><li>Be able to take off and land with a minimum to no specialized outside equipment or resources such as special launch pads, external boosters or tanks, or other such equipment. A craft capable of taking off and landing using just a fairly flat stretch of land. This would eliminate a great deal of money, millions, spent in preparing the craft for launch and such thus reducing the cost of getting the ship into the air.<li>A craft capable of flying in a wide range of inclement weather much like larger jumbo jets. If possible to have a weather tolerance witch exceeds that of most jumbo jets. Rockets are very susceptible to weather and even a slight breeze of sufficient strength can throw a rocket off course. For this reason launch can be delayed if there is a hint of inclement weather. This result son the craft spending time on the pad and thus wasting money. If your craft can take off in a light sprinkle, no time wasted any money wasted. This was the easiest factor to make happen. We will talk about this later.<li>We wanted a space craft with a larger cargo capacity than the space shuttle. This was one of the factors in determining the ship’s size.<li>We wanted to develop a ship with a wide range of uses that could be easily and quickly configured for a wide range of tasks.<li></li></li></li></li></li></ol>
