Re: Today's reality is tomorrow's joke
"I wish I had the time to go into your analysis of the launch market in detail, but I simply don't. But let's take your water prize example -
While its easy to engineer small rockets, if you send up small payloads, it takes an incredible amount of manpower on orbit to dock and transfer a very, very small amount of water. For that matter, if you add in the mass of the docking system, most small launchers wouldn't be able to transfer any water to ISS at all."
Hmm. Thank you for explaining what you meant in further detail. BUT:
I never suggested sending smaller rockets to ISS- Size wasn't an "issue", nor was ISS the destination.
