Hey guys, ever since SA guys set up their space program I have seen facepunchers talk about something similar. However don't you guys think its way too much to start on? I think it would be much better to make a facepunch project that is much smaller. We would need to sort out things like:
Location it will be built at
Funding needs to be set up
We would need a team of designers
Access to various equipment
And much more.
Would it not be smarter to start with something small? Like a small boat, Glider, or maybe something like paintball tank.
I myself would get involved in a facepunch project like this, I do design engineering, and have access to plasma cutting machinery, cheap steel, folding and painting things.
Mingebags in space?
This could be interesting.
We would need students that have graduated with a degree in aerospace engineering. Until then, let's focus on balloons with cameras strapped on them.
Why couldn't you post this in the other thread?
That thread is full of empty dreams and silly ideas really, there isn't anything actually going on.
Send Garry to space.
I will fund it.

You forgot the ^_^
you guys probably don't even have jobs
I have a job.
I make 50 bucks a week. I bet we can get into space with that.
If all the active members donated 15 dollars wouldn't that fund us?
30,581 Active members (up from about 22,000 in mid 08)
x --15
------
$458,715 USD

Would fund it more than enough I think
Why not make a vessel that can burrow so deep into the earth that you start experiencing different levels of gravity? :O

90% Can't pay because they either aren't allowed by their parents or they don't have a credit card /Paypal account.
How about an alternative fuel to Hydro-carbons?

Alright.
30,000 x .90 = 27000
30,000 - 2700 = 3000
3000 x 15 = 45,000 USD

I'll officially graduate with my BS in Aerospace Engineering in a couple months, I'm only 6 credits from completion right now. However, it'd also be good to have mechanical engineers, chemical engineers, electrical engineers, and probably some space sciences people who actually like orbital mechanics at the very, [i]very[/i] least. I assume we already have enough people who can do the coding, but it needs to be done in older, very stable, languages.
All in all, there are so many super classified programs (that are gigantic) that NASA uses for calculating re-entry, orbital mechanics, gravity, etc, that I don't think this can really be done by a lot of people in their spare time at any rate faster than a retarded snails pace. Even just simply launching a large rocket is quite complicated: once you think it can reach a certain altitude, you have to let the Air Force know because it then gets classified as a missile. When senior design projects at my school get to that point, the Air Force also keeps an eye on it ready to shoot it out of the sky at the first sign of trouble.
:foxnews: [I]A terrorist group called facepunch is attempting to get into space. More at 11.[/I]:foxnews:
they plan to hijack the moon and crash it into the united states!!!!
something awful doesn't have a space program.
it just so happens one of the main contributors at copenhagen suborbitals is a goon
The balloon thing ain't that hard. Only somebody has to make it that's the problem
yeah we need a realistic project.

you're not the one to be talking about realism... you think anarchism is feasible :xd:
facepunch boxcar competition

It would be 9/11 [i] times a thousand[/i]

xD itz not??/? LolOlOLlolo
On a serious note, though. What other things could a bunch of people from the internets do? We should leave the space rocketry thing because its hard, and not very original since we'r basically copying SA...
Don't doubt facepunch.

OP you do realise that the guy that made the SA thread's previous project was a fully functional submarine? We could never achieve anything like this.
