No. My daughters are studying Chemistry.

That young lady is very talented, though.

I’m wondering if a private group will gather the funding and put together a space probe for airborne launch, that would work its way out to the LaGrangian Points, and then start a grand tour of the Solar System.

A really capable robotic craft would be in a position to do almost anything out there; first by finding its way around, and then by gathering materials to build more advanced devices. Not even nanotechnology. More along the lines of DARPA micro-scale developments.

I was amazed and excited, but calm enough to realize that you have touched on something similar on getting the Flying Castle airborne.

I was born 40 years too soon, I think. I coulda been a contendah!

Thanks for finding that. What a treasure!

space probe for airborne launch
Isn't High Altitude Airborne Launch and Recovery of Space vehicles already in the development process?
Or have i been at the strong coffee again?
