One of the problems with space advocacy is that there are space advocates who would willingly and gleefully stand guard at the Mittelwerk if it meant they could go to Mars.

@CollectPanda33 If I recall correctly, this is a generic commercial launcher. I've seen variants of it in a few other papers from around that time.

@SSIConestoga @PaxAmericann @eccorca @GrokFed Uh, that account isn't me. I'm Pressure-Fed Astronaut.

As is relevant for today. This is not a hypothetical considering the actions of a certain Odor.

And here's an Aquila 31 from AMROC (it's the pump-fed H-1500, Orbus 21S, and U-75 upper stage design from 1992).

Conestoga 1620. Re-modeled in Blender with images of COMET and vehicle testing/integration.

They should make one of those "look at these sexy people try to date" reality shows where the attractive women have to date a fat ugly guy like me.

And by like me, I mean me.

Call me, TLC. It'll be the greatest 5 minute TV show ever made.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

A very special episode. With monkeys and rats! Nothing else.

A celebration of 4k subscribers is underway, starting with audio issues and New Glenn exploding (I had nothing to do with it).

@mcrs987 These guys would love large pressure-feds. No pumps at all!

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

Look at this render, that's half the effort.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

So... who wants to make a lunar lander bid? (Yes, I will make you talk like a pirate.)

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

Back on this nonsense. I know where my bread is buttered.

And yes, I could've run this program better. No need to ask.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

What am I supposed to say? It didn't blow up, but it's still losing engines, parts are still falling off, and whatever happened to Super Heavy. Am I supposed to be impressed? We're at Flight 12 and there's basically no real progress.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

Yes, I am pleased to announce my very cool space hotel that you should buy tickets to visit without any renders based on this simple and not suspicious at all announcement.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

Let's go to Mars for the first time! (Not including Santa's invasion.)

Only 4 months behind schedule! Let's take a look at some, not all, Europa III proposals. (More coming later this year, I promise.)

I should remake my Conestoga Blender models, since it appears some of you have finally discovered the design.

[Half-Beard the Space Pirate @PantslessMadman]

Let's party on Mir!
