      How 'bout we all just target Northampton with mass drivers, instead?

      You'll get fireworks aplenty.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

          Hmmm... cash cow for defense contractors? or viable project? I can't decide.
          To us, it is the BEAST.

            Britain thanks you for this idea.

              Where are the lightweight rocket designs that are going to reduce lift costs by a factor of ten?
              One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                I agree. We truly need fresh leadership at NASA. Nothing senisble is going to happen unless every top manager is gone.

                    Neither, does it appear, is safety.

                      what about a magic teleportation device?

                        Just throwing money at NASA won't solve anything. They need something called COMPETITION.

                          Nah, there are three liberal Northamptonians on OTF, it would be such a waste!

                                A novel inflatable space elevator concept that would lift people 12 miles above Earth where they could catch a space plane into orbit has been patented by a Canadian company.


                                Yeah, but what about the space ESCALATOR?!?!

                                Didn't think of that, did you tough guys?!
