Why I Support President Bush and the ZOT!

[thousand dollar hamburger]

I think he has a sincere desire to help everyone. he has even gone out of his way to embrace people like Hillary Clinton and Ted Kennedy. He does not hold grudges as shown by his willingness to bend over backwards to allow terrorist supporting nations to operate our ports. We need this type of benevolent leader.

Our President is not a cheapskate, as he has opened up our budget to give to anyone who might need anything.

Aliens from all nations are welcomed into our great country without having to deal with mundane bureaucratic State approval. Cutting government red tape -- that's the Bush way!

Yes, our Prseident even realizes that occupying as many countries around the world as possible is the best way to spread American ideals.

We are truly lucky to have this great man. I suggest that at 10:00 AM EST, we all stand up in unison and shout -- HOORAY FOR BUSH!!!

Flying Castles for this trip, you in??

I've got a castle I could make fly.   Is that what you mean?

[Das Outsider]

Did we pass through a space anomaly?

Would it be fair to suppose that it had something to do with enforcement of the famous (or infamous) space treaty?

[Irish_Thatcherite]

I think you are right, though I don't remember the episode.

Anyway, that prompted me to do a quick google search, not a great pic:

Apparently, he and other historical figures are holograms.

I guess Bob his it covered LJ. He has a contraption of connecting tubes and other far out methods of space flight. Bob says it's more like a train in theory.

I am fly in the wrong century for this trip Lady, cause that is what I though a Flying Castle was.

Have you seen pictures of the Castle?

[Soaring Feather]

Not this Flying Castle, but I have seen a lot of tubular shaped buildings in Si-Fi movies as well as my own imagination.

[Das Outsider]

NnB should be able to post the pictures--er, photos.

[Soaring Feather]

Bob said, something about a train. I bet he posts a train. ;) Subway systems run in underground tubes and in the open air as well.

Oh, no. Ours is most certainly a castle.



Sort of like this.

[NicknamedBob]

I have the most awful difficulty in acquiring images to match the strange contraptions I've imagined.

One problem is that they are not elegant by any standards, but they serve our needs.

[Soaring Feather]

Gotta to look out for these!

[Lady Jag]

...Bob his it covered...

Is there a photo?

[Soaring Feather]

Bob said, he has trouble finding a photo of the contraption he envisions. Lady this is a photo on the thread just recently posted (at least somewhat similar to what Bob sees.) I think anyway.

We plan to! (Avoiding Asteroids)

That's why we made our telescope system. I have numerous descriptions of our space vessel. None seems adequate to draw the picture properly.

Let's start with the Flying Castle. It is a shape, similar to a flying saucer, of radius one mile.

Within the transparent top hull, and sealed lower hull, the castle and its moat are centered in a slight depression, which is covered with grassy meadows, grain fields and forested land. It is like a small, private valley.

Much activity goes on belowground. There are the infamous lower levels, where reside the forges and factories, and the laboratories (and the health clinic!) and even further below, some creatures of whom we say little, who have been helping us, after their fashion, by excavating tunnels and such.

Within that underground space are also the tubes which convey our spherical elevator cars like a, forgive the analogy, bolus of food being swallowed, and directed to various locations.

Those locations include the arms that connect the Flying Castle to the Thrust Ring, and the connecting supports to Habitats A and B.

All three massive habitats are being swung round the Thrust Ring, for artificial gravity at approximately that of Mars.

One can move through the elevator system from one habitat to another, but each has its own time zone, separated from the otheres by eight hours.

When it is morning in the Castle, it is evening in one Habitat, and late night in the other.

Goodnight!! :)

[rzeznikj at stout]

Nite!

[NicknamedBob]

This is something similar to our Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines.

Ours are larger, with room for more than a hundred passengers, and they serve as the rocket motors for the combination Thrust Ring, Castle and Habitats A and B construct.

There are more than six hundred of them, and each has two reactors.

We will only use two hundred to bring the Flying Castle down to Mars. The others will be retained with the other structures.

Post 1497 a visual of Bob's idea.
