Future spaceships powered by black holes ?

i know and a vehicle that launches and lands wouldn't be able to have an engine on both ends. but a space bound ship could. Sure! maneuvers are still being done with bursts of air right?? Well...bursts of burning fuel exhaust, yes.

You wouldn't want to build a ship with engines at both ends, to expensive and really you wouldn't need them. A flip maneuver would work just fine. It wouldn't be like driving a car and you have to do a 180 when you come to a stop sign. I imagine a ship like this would be fitted to start a flip or role well befor it's reaches orbit of it destination a couple billion/million miles might be enough to flip and slow dow... [More]

I imagine a ship like this would be fitted to start a flip or role well befor it's reaches orbit of it destination a couple billion/million miles might be enough to flip and slow down. Plus you would never want to build a ship like this to land anywhere, it would remain in space till it was junked for a new model. Landers and probes would do the work on the surf... [More]

i really think it is time to start a space mining company. Lets draw it up buddy and then patent it LOL Now were did I put my science 101 book LOL We might need Mid, Bade, Don, TFF Lilly and others to help us LOL Ok Don might be a bit to eccentric but damn the dude knows how to smoke a bird LOL

I think we can all contribute to the project as long as D is cookin' on the smoker! Sounds pretty damn awesome. I wish I had the computer know how and the science to back and illistrate a future mining mission to Mars. However I will need about 7 years of school, see ya in a bit and damn, tell Don to save me some left overs I might be late LOL Everytime I see Don's smoker I get hungry. I was in China town on monday and I was drooling over the smoked ducks in the window thinking about the Smoker and Don in his oh so sexy bbq apron LOL really I was LOL Ok that last part didn't sound right LOL bu...

do you think we can sink a mine on mercury and sit up living space inside the shaft in 44 days. since mercury rotates every 88 days.

Ok that last part didn't sound right LOL but you know what I meen LOL Yep...I know what you mean!

but what is dark matter? even though im in it can i touch it?

but what is dark matter? even though im in it can i touch it? I think I mentioned this before... We don't know what dark matter actually is. It's hypothetical, and undetected directly. It's presence is inferred by it's gravitational effects. Thus, it get's a wee bit far afield to speculate about dark matter and dark energy powered things when we haven't actually grapsed what it is yet.
