Arggghh!!!! Robert & Justin!!!

Larry J — 1/30/2002 8:12:28 PM (archived)

I just spent several minutes typing in a detailed reply only to have it disappear when I clicked the Post button! This isn't the first time this has happened. When it craps out, there's no way to return to the composition screen to try submitting it again, either. Bummer!

Anyway, I'd like to see a reusable vehicle designed to fly between LEO and lunar orbit, perhaps with the ability to carry around 15-20 metric tons to the moon. I'd also like to see a lander capable of carrying a payload of at least 10 metric tons to the surface. Once on the surface, the payload would be detached so the lander would be light enough to fly back to lunar orbit intact.

My original post went into much more detail than this. I really don't feel like typing it over again right now.

I wonder if this might be a contingency that Lunar explorers may adopt? - Jacob Samorodin - 1/30/2002 6:00:49 PM
