Congratulations, X43-a Team!
CONGRATULATIONS, X43-A TEAM!
The NASA Family was made particularly proud this past Tuesday as we watched
our Hyper-X Program Team's X43-A research vehicle scream into the sky to
break its own record, successfully demonstrating that its air-breathing
scramjet engine can fly at nearly 10 times the speed of sound.
Led by Associate Administrator for Aeronautics Research Vic Lebacqz, the
Vehicle Systems Team from Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight Research
Center and our industry partners deserve high praise for accomplishing a
major success for our Agency. This historic achievement in hypersonic
air-breathing propulsion opens a completely new chapter in aerospace with
applications to commercial aviation and, ultimately, space access in the
years to come.
The flight promises more airplane-like operations for affordable, flexible
and safer ultra high-speed flight in the atmosphere and for the first stage
to Earth orbit. These developments will also advance the Vision for Space
Exploration while helping to advance commercial aviation technology.
Please join me in celebrating this successful flight and the work of the
Hyper-X Program Team, and let it remind us of the extraordinary work that
the men and women of this Agency do every day, as only NASA can.
Sean O'Keefe
NASA Administrator~Ann

Hey Butterfly, how's things? Nice to see all you space cadets reaching newer and higher milestones. Question though, Mach 10 isn't really that impressive. All you have to do is fly really high. What was the actual MPH? I had heard 2 miles per second but haven't been able to confirm that number. You got any details?
P.S. I know it's probably classified so don't go snooping around where you're not supposed to be just for me. I'll understand.
Rules? You mean we have RULES for that???

I'll celebrate when I'm making three minute flights to Vegas and the cost of tickets go down. But yeah if they continue, dumping those huge orange boosters will really benefit the Shuttle since it's like being strapped to huge missles when trying to launch into space.

What about a centrifugal space ship like a big wheel spinning towards Mars, a flying saucer maybe?

Here on Earth you body has to overcome the pull of gravity. Therefore, your muscles develope to a certain level of strength to support your frame and also to keep your organs working properly. In the weightlessness of space your body wouldn't have to overcome gravity so your muscles would atrophy. This would be bad enough just for your skeletal muscles, but it would also weaken your heart because it wouldn't have the resistance of gravity to overcome when pumping blood. By the time your little Mars adventure was over your muscles (heart included) would be so weak the pull of gravity would kill you. Originally Posted by dg806

What if you're cryogenically frozen during the trip?
The lions sing and the hills take flight.
The moon by day, and the sun by night.
Blind woman, deaf man, jackdaw fool.
Let the Lord of Chaos rule.

I thought that was what the g-suit was for. Or is that only for pilots for excessive g's?? Originally Posted by ALBOB

I saw a discovery channel program that said it had many alternatives and exercise programs to not let that happen.

Those were first invented for Albob to keep from shitting on himself when the excessive G's pushed on his bowels they later found they helped keep the blood from rushing to his head and giving him ideas which in his brain could be dangerous. Originally Posted by dg806
