RIP Yahoo!
Nice knowing you.
Jerry Yang may have pissed off his share holders, but he was doing the right thing I my view.
Guess his legacy will be....Bing? Please.....
Now who's looking for a chair to throw....
Take a look at the book "Mining the Sky" by John S. Lewis. Without getting into a deep mathmatical treatment, he does lay out what goes into calculating sending missions to and from Mars, Earth orbit, the moon, and the asteroid belt. If I am not mistaken, somewhere in there he even explains the significance of the oft heard NASA term "launch window". (It's basically when your launch site (Florida, for instance) and your target (Mars or the ISS) share a favored geometerical relationship in space-time.)
While it is lite on the equations, I think this will have most of what you are looking for.... Now if I can just find my copy. BTW.. Lewis' books are a must read for anyone interested in what's up there, whether it's the moon, Mars, or beyond.
Where's the music?
I mean the REAL music. If this thing is going to fly, they will need to have some real, big name, actual musical selections to chose from. Say like Fleetwood Mac or Emeniem or something. Something REAL. Not a bunch of Danish demo tapes.

Pretty sure it was one of the ships of the "Humpty Dumpty" class.
Thin shelled crafts better suited for commissary duty, not front line action.
Pretty eggciting!

From that article, this one line jumped out at me: "Enorm fart."
Now granted, I don't speak the native tongue up there in Norway, but I think we all can translate that.

If this works out, it'll be great. Then the ISS crew won't have to land to stock up at a 7-11.
