Re: russia building a battlestar galactica?

My father pointing out a paragraph from an independent intelligence organization paper that russia was working on a revolutionary spaceplane; it is round and will hold like sixteen hundred passengers; it will get into orbit as well; all I can tell you is that I read the paper; take it for what it is worth; the paper is usually just about politics and government stuff, but there is was stuck at the very bottom on the page.

I forgot what the intelligence outfits name was, but there is no reason for this group of people to post something like this . . .

Re: russia building a battlestar galactica?

I also heard some days ago that Russia was working on a vertically launched transport that would take people from Moscow to New York in one hour.  They estimated the price of the tickets to be about $10,000 per passenger.  Whether they'll actually pull it off I don't know, but in the archives at Astronautix.com, there's a Mig project about a similiar system for military uses.  Wonder if they're actually going to attempt to build it.

Re: russia building a battlestar galactica?

i suspect the gamma ray propulsion idea that I started in my last thread . . . as being what they have in mind to make for this revolutionary spacecraft.
