War! - huh- yeah-

Absolutely nothing
Uh-huh

Say it again y’all
War! – huh – good God
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing
Listen to me…

Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

Where have all the young men gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the young men gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the young men gone?
Gone for soldiers every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

"Do we have the "o" rings under control....or is that not on the ship?"

No "O" ring worries. A minor concern will be leakage of atmospheric gases through the various connections between habitats once we're in space. We will have a lot of surface area exposed, and many complicated joints.

It should not be a major problem, all spaceships leak. We'll have make-up air in storage tanks, and we'll replenish them as needed, gleaning what we need from our propellant gas replenishment program, (our trips to the "filling station").

The equivalent problem to O-rings for us would be the thrust balancing between the various shuttle-thrusters. We would have a bit of a problem if we weren't "firing on all cylinders." Of course, in our case, it wouldn't be one cylinder misfiring out of six or eight. It might possibly be one or two misfiring out of close to six hundred.

I am confident.

They do?

How are you certain only one or two cylinders would be misfiring?

Did you check out Rathergood's cover of Independent Woman?

It was posted earlier in the thread.

Very amusing stuff.

"How are you certain only one or two cylinders would be misfiring?"

Certainly I'm hoping none of them will. Structurally, we have designed the stress-loading to compensate for an occasionally underperforming thruster. I believe in over-engineering to accommodate room for Murphy's law.

The Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines will all be brought up to operating temperature in their commissioning stages. Any engineering failures or component shortcomings should be disclosed and corrected at that time.

As power sources, these devices will be cycled around, providing the on-site power for our hydroponics bays, on-going construction programs, incipient laboratories and production facilities, ordinary lighting requirements, and for purely testing purposes as well.

They will also be tested as rocket engines, usually at reduced thrust. Our pre-flight checkout procedures will be as thorough as possible, and on launch day, we're hoping there will be no failures at all.

I've made up my own little ping list, for when I get on, in order to say "HI" to Y'all.

Did I forget anyone?
