I've built a scale model prototype of one of our solid fuel booster rockets, as you can see. :P

I get the Cockpit Burger Bar concession capisce ?

Great! Give 'em 30% or they'll want it back after we top $10,000 profits :P
Nice model zts16! I have a model rocket me and a friend built from a PVC pipe and cap, copper sheet metal fins (there went my nice electrolysis rods, oh well), that shiny looking duct tape like stuff, and three small model rocket engines (it's not at my house or I'd check their size. The three are in parallel set-up...). It'll probably impale one of us upon launch, but that's the fun part, right? I'll post a clip of its launch when I stop being a cheap-skate and buy the electric fuses...

And what am I, chopped liver?

I've spent a decent number of hours in Orbiter, I could do course planning and delta-V management. And I'll lead the search for LANTHANIDEZ (on earth too, we should use Al-Sc and Al-Y alloys for extra strength on our spaceship).




At the end of the day, simulating atoms doesn't beat working with the real things...

Can I be the intern...? I can remove coffee grounds from the sink, and refill the water dispenser with paper Dixie cups. I can also drink coffee while someone talks about themselves.

A lot of interns will be needed on this mission.

About 300,000

We'll need them to all push Upwards as hard as they can just before the engines fire.

We will need a reconnaissance team to steal NASA's warp drive... I'll handle jamming the communications.

Damn !

You got a Plan already !

OK. I know when i'm beaten.

You get Uhuru's wig and the Orange chair.

Edit:

You can have the thing i stuck in my ear if you like, but it might be a better idea to make your own.

I used a honey grabber sprayed silver.

Can i still come and do the sound effects ?

Excellent. Glad to see how many deck-hands we have. All who want on are allowed.

Cool !

I want 'on' fourteen times so i can sell tickets.

The Cockpit Burger Bar will be busier if there are more people.

Vegetarians might die on this mission, so can i be in charge of Waste Disposal ?

Burger Bar needs Raw Materials you know.

My Mother says i can't go on this Space Mission.

I asked why not, seeing as NASA, CIA NSA etc have all cleared me to go ?

She said "Thats Classified.".

Thanks for reminding me, where will we get our babel fish(es?)! I heard the hatcheries economy collapsed along with the mattress farms.

Babelfish would be perfect for a hydroponic farm.

Just make sure that the Navigator (AJKOER) does not stray too far from any Stars so the plants grow nicely.

haha :) Did the main character in AHGTTG ever remove his babelfish? I forget...
Also, there's a chemistry library called openbabel... it's not talking about babelfish, but it's still funny.

I'm not sure of how it ended, so idk. I remember Arthur Dent getting found by Ford on prehistoric earth, then helping him try to fix a huge catastrophe related to the (Vogans?) destroying earth for a super space highway, even though space highways were incredibly outdated. I think it ends in a paradox.

Back to the spaceship, If any of you need me, I might be in the on-board bathtub for a couple of years... Just make sure we know how to land. And keep the phone handles disinfected.

Were not taking any of those middle-classers on board >:( :)
***Spoiler Alert***
The fifth book ends in everyone on and from earth dying.
Again, you say? Yes, again. Except for Elvis Presley, unless the vogons worked that out too... :) I love that series.

Since this thread started i made my own Space Pick-up Truck in case your engines fail, and a sub-space radio system.

Seemed like a good plan, and Mom is happy with it, as she can ride shotgun.

Emergency Radio is a mere $1m.

$200k more for the Squelch feature.

With all the people coming, escape pods'd be a costly addition. I guess it's, as always, first come first serve :) We'll only get two. Sucks to be the pilot... :P
