And why would it still take 2 or 3 months even after somebody manages to invent working fusion rockets? (Which optimistically might occur in 1 or 2 decades.)
And also, why for both of those does the launch have to be timed for when the planets are in a relative position that only occurs about every 2 years? |
Because we still don't know what we are doing. We need to stop launching from the earth. That means a big space station where we can build and launch or a Moon base. |
First you said we are on a "privileged planet". Now you say Earth is the wrong place to be for space exploration.
Way to make yourself look like a fool again Chubs. :D :D :D |
Apparently chemical rockets would go faster if they were launched from a spaced station...
O.o
