SC
by Kristian von Bengtson, 2008-12-04

We are working hard on the development of the space craft. The main shell has now been frozen for boiler plate production, and laser cutting files has been created for the top and buttom cone parts. Next step is to move the main shell body from the storage facility to the production lab, laser cutting and building the rig for the entire space craft production to take place.

von Braun legacy
by Kristian von Bengtson, 2008-12-04

Yesterday, and friend of mine from Johnson Space Center, sent me an image of an old space shuttle project by von Braun (from the 50ies). It depicts a man inside a descent rocket as part of its escape system. Take a look here:

Its good to know von Braun made the same seating arrangement as we are doing.. Again, what else can you do in such a small space..?

Please feel free to discuss this topic further...
