Re: Low Earth Orbit space ship design. - Practical?
With the my recent discovery of the X Prize, I fthought hey why not try just for the fun of it.
DARC - Zygote will spend one week in orbit spinning at 4 rpm
with 8 passengers and 4 crew members and be capable of re-use in two weeks.
It ascends using the old fashion Hydrogen-Oxygen combustion and descends using the same and uses a parachute to land.
Oopsie wrong forum XD.
However this design could be an alternative to the space elevator no?
