Re: OT: Who needs NASA !
Ya, the White Knight is suppose too look phlimsy like that because its suppose too designed too go VERY high Altitude, then lauch the pod too go into space. Personally, I think this is a safer way too get into space then NASA's Space Shuttle and I think its probably a lot less expensive. I have been an oppenent of the Space Shuttle just by the fact that NASA made the thing too damn big and its not even used for its original design anymore (if ever). It hardly ever docks with the international Space station (they usually use just conventional rockets too send supplies and contruct the Space station) and its too large in my opinoin too be practical or safe. A ship half the size of the shuttle could easily do much of the same stuff the Shuttle Fleet does at probably a cheaper cost and easier too maintian as it would be smaller then the Shuttle.
