Sagitta Cantina

From NASA's 16th Annual Student Launch Challenge

Here is the TW@N (This Week @ NASA) video that has footage at the beginning regarding the test. TW@N Final line of the segment Safely integrate Unmanned Aircraft into the airspace Well, I don't see no men riding any of the birds out there, when are they going to do something about them? They have ca...

Taking everything you've experienced, seen, heard or watched, in your opinion what is the engine (or motor) most likely to have a problem? OOP Not included.

That's my mistake, not NASA's. Thank's for the correction Joe

I guess they really want to taut this concept as in another email, they took the image from the article and made it the Image of the Day for NASA https://ci5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/iF3Y4Q-GOfKux-JhVtUxZme_65i9vROMs5BiTL_clmBVIWm4-Q9kpcBR50xBcuUJgWmO08kMowITxow_0sXZiIH6_55XSvYs-dWA0POFcrIQeGuy9q...

Thank you Luke, I knew you would be able to give more specifics. So, to put it in terms that others may understand, the ion engines get great gas mileage but have terrible horsepower. We have to watch and understand the techno babble these guys put out. for example... An advanced electric propulsion...

A little slow on the uptake, as typical and shown by his immature attitude and being stuck in that fecal stage of maturing, GHRocketman did finally make it to the Sagitta Cantina, the original one, on April 6th. Yes he came strolling in 5 days before the doors were closed. I almost didn't notice, bu...

It always amazes me how the greenies are so against nuclear power, even in space. I sometimes get the feeling that if they could find a way, they would turn off that great nuclear reactor in the sky.
