I thought I was hearing things this morning. The BBC newsreader said that SpaceX will be sending a an unmanned supply ship to ISS or International Space Station!
Tri-ang predicted this rendezvous back in 1970! Check out their neat comic advert, above, emblazoned with the cation "Docking with the Photonic Propulsion Space Station...A Vital Manoeuvre in Outer Space Exploration"!
So Swordies, if you were SpaceX Supremo, which toy ship would you send full of food and supplies to the ISS from the SpaceX range or any other for that matter? And what would you fill the cargo hold with?
I'd send the Booster Rocket with it's fuel cells full of lime milk shake and a packet of straws. What else could they possibley need!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool day it will be today if all goes well - fact meeting fiction (science fiction that is). Now if they can ever get the funding to build a real life USS Enterprise (buildtheenterprise.org) using today's technology, we'll all be in sci-fi 7th heaven.
ReplyDeleteShoulda read the news before I posted - the lift off aborted at literally the last second due to too high pressure in the combustion chamber. Oh well!
