Curious as to what you think about the ability of the "low" altitude "earth to station" airship's ability to rendezvous with the dark sky station?

Some will head to the heavens, others will stay in the gravity pit.

Good timing, leaving for China tomorrow and needed a couple new books for my trip. :-)

Do the math from a relativistic, probe reference frame at a constant 1G acceleration/deceleration ... not so bad for the probe, eh? (< 4 years probe time)

The hover text was good too: "The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision."

Re: Trouble in the GLXP paradise

Not sure what "this kind of problems" you are talking about? What do you find disappointing about most teams? Do you think it's their job to entertain you? Sorry, but it is already a difficult enough challenge without that responsibility. You want to "be part of this", well what's stopping you? We're not locking out anyone. So get out there and just do something constructive if that's what you want. I'd be happy to listen to your ideas on how you want to contribute, if you are willing to use your real name.

In a perfect world the MTA (the "rules") would have been set in stone from day one, but that wasn't the case. Getting the rules sorted out now is difficult, as every player has a potentially different agenda.
But I don't see how you can connect the MTA issues (transparent or not) with the contest's public popularity? Things will heat up when "joe public" sees the rocket on the pad...

There's been some issues on all sides. I only need to deal with the GLXP, but in fairness, the GLXP must deal with 29 teams. That's a tough job, but it IS their responsibility. I think things are moving in the right direction now.
