RobVG:

I followed your advice to the letter. Believe-it-or-not, years ago I once administrated a spacecraft design website for NASA Ames. I had it running on an Apache webserver with a CGI script that I wrote in C. I had the website driving a trajectory simulation code that I wrote along with a thermal protection sizing code. I had these special routines that drove Gnuplot to produce Gif files on the fly and display various computer generated graphs and plots to the user. The website was intended to allow people to remotely design spacecraft on the web. It was actually pretty slick. Then a manager decided that bad guys could use the website to design ballistic missiles and the whole thing got canned (about a years work down the toilet with nothing to show for it).

That was about 5 years ago and I have since deleted all HTML from my own memory. I'll have to dig through my old backup CDs and find the stuff that I wrote for that cancelled project.

The new website that I created based upon your excellent advice is:

I'm still fumbling around. This is really only a sanity test and very beta. Please verify that you can actually see the images. Please criticize anything that you see is obviously wrong. Thanks again!
