 If we want a better future, we have to invent it and the pay for that has to keep us fed. TimBL showed the generals how to get something for nothing by taking old missiles and putting monkeys in them. Unfortunately launching monkeys at the moon or any other target thrills the monkeys but doesn't always get them there with a whole skin. Actually, it is the longevity of the web team that I'm counting on, that is, if they recognize and learn from mistakes. Otherwise I wouldn't be here bitching. I'd be making a case to DARPA to quit funding their research. One best approach to get to Mars via the Moon from the US or the EU is to begin yearly contests among the 14 to 18 year old students to hold design competitions. We do that here with Moon Buggies every year with teams from all over the world. It's fun to do, fun to watch, and they learn how to build in collaborative teams. It won't necessarily get good designs; it will get good designers. And now they have a slightly defective but working global library and communications network, which if they use good lifecycle formats for the designs over time will result in some very good designs. Just don't attempt to drive the vehicle with it. It's an idea I'm working with the US Space and Rocket Center. If it interests anyone, I'll send you an email address for someone you can express your interest to. len From: Frank [mailto:frank@t...] Len, if you understand the nature of the beast, don't bitch at us, bitch at your customers. Your analogy is dead on. Tim BL came to MiCom and showed them a way to take the money that would have bought them 50 missiles, every one of which would hit the target, and instead get 100 missiles, 80 of which would hit the target. Of course every silo in the world has TB-L missiles now. Of course you're frustrated that you can no longer just upgrade a production missile to man-rating. But neither the generals nor the TB-L missile company have the job of making your job easier. And they did their real job wittingly and well. Frank
