Posted on: Fri Sep 16, 2005 10:37 pm I'm sorry, but that article was rather poorly translated... the American Kennel Club is planning to do what?

Seriously, though, Aerospace Systems has been trying unsuccessfully to launch a weather control satellite for the past three years. A year ago they promised to fund a $5 billion Mars mission propelled by a solar sail. Now they want to fly 5000 passengers using an ATO knockoff. This settles it: they are no longer to be taken seriously. _________________ “The next generation of engineers, astronauts and scientist are not going to appear out of thin air.

Posted on: Wed Sep 28, 2005 8:25 am Not a Russian copy but definitely competition. Global Aerospace Corperation based in California have designed a balloon platform for use on Mars, does JP have any similar asperations or project?
