Orion ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: 7 Dec 1981 10:04 PST From: Lynn.ES at PARC-MAXC Subject: Re: Re: big projects / do everything yourself? In-reply-to: csin!cjh's message of 4 Dec 1981 11:45:01-EST To: Space-Enthusiasts at MIT-MC cc: Lynn.es The costs of getting mass into even LEO is strictly a result of having to carry chemical fuel with you during launch. The cost of say electrical energy to launch into orbit is pennies per pound, if you don't carry the fuel with you that you are burning. Once we harness high energy fuels (nuclear) or learn to beam up the launch energy, space colonists may be no more select and privileged than automobile drivers. /Don Lynn ------------------------------ Date: 7 Dec 1981 1556-EST From: JoSH <JoSH at RUTGERS> Subject: Orion To: space at MIT-AI A description of the Orion project is given in Freeman Dyson's excellent "Disturbing the Universe." --JoSH ------- ------------------------------ End of SPACE Digest *******************
