Re: Glossary
Here's some abbreviations I can think of, add more if I left anything off:
ISS - International Space Station (also known as International Budget Buster or IBB)
LEO - Low Earth Orbit
GEO - Geosynchronous orbit
HLLV - Heavy Lift Launch Vehicle
ISP - Specific Impulse
VASMIR - Variable Specific Magnetoplasma Rocket
MPD - magnetoplasmadynamic rocket
MDRS - Mars Direct Research Station (I think )
