The Apollo program stood on the shoulders of giants.

Using the SRB lift system and the design of the Aries moon flight stack shows a clear lack of foresight and imagination. The present stack looks like a cartoon version of the Apollo with some engineer saying...Well we know how reliable the Titan lifting platform is.

I dont know what this love affair is with NASA and the SRB system. Its caused a problem with vibration with only 2 on the shuttle and they want to strap 5 on now? Come ON! The S-V was a great work horse, but you know what....they didn't maintain the machineryBeam Me Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16507215843874160767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31959155.post-52251268282215966562008-01-21T19:33:00.000-05:002008-01-21T19:33:00.000-05:00How much of an improvement, then, is the new rocke...How much of an improvement, then, is the new rocket over the Saturn V? It is hard not to think that NASA are just re-inventing the same wheel from 40 yrs ago...time to consult with some of the original Apollo rocket engineers, perhaps?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
