negative zone 1 (sub orbital)

* on that shuttle wall over there, i scratch a mark every time, 

every single time. * counting moons, white noise instances...                            

so i know  - we all know - i'm not delusional. * 10 days without a peep, no com on a yet-working comm; surely all the crew's didn't go out simultaneously & their shuttle... * provisions & oxygen down to 3 moons & counting alone in sub-orbital drift * i'm not tallying up, no - but down to zero;

a countdown, like for another launch, like this ‘rocketship’ to ventura was, without the sabotage, abandonment - yeah - figured that one out day 2; * you tell me what happens when the day comes, hungry, O2 deprived - i go into the negative zone

'cause i really don't know...you tell me. * 7/18 - lebuc - negative zone 1 (sub orbital)

On Sub-Orbital airlines and feasability

On Sub-Orbital airlines and feasability

Charlie Stross has an article up exploring Why we’re not going to see sub-orbital airliners. It is an interesting exploration of why a technology that might be feasible will never really be practical and certainly would never be profitable. Some good food for thought for authors seeking to extrapolate into the future a bit.

One of the failure modes of extrapolative SF is to assume that just…
