Moon has already been visited. If we want to become famous we need to dream bigger.
[QUOTE=LiLBliNg;24540454]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.[/QUOTE]
You are the messiah
i can donate 4 dollars from paypal
Build a giant catapult, to launch a cannon, which will fire at it's highest point shooting out a pod with rockets attached on it.

We can build the rockets out of cardboard tubes and cherrybombs.
Pfft! Where will we get the budget/permit to use Cherrybombs?
We're going to have to stick with inter-ballistic rockets.
did anyone read what I said A REAL WORKING SATELLITE launched into space that sends and recieves data and is only tthe size of a small dog.
Im the astronaut
Im the monkey.
Im out of ideas.

Oh shit, I better download spacebuild 3!
I have a job, and I would donate to this if I actually felt it would go somewhere on a scale of SA.

Oh fuck, you're back :byodood:
I propose that instead of putting our money into a space program we should put it all together and buy a really poor country, call it Facepunch, use a flamethrower to get rid of all the disease it has and then we can make our laws based on Facepunch.
If my calculations are correct we will be a very rich and prosperous country.

Lets buy Iceland
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;24708932]Lets buy Iceland[/QUOTE]
Lets not, the flamethrower will melt it and it will not be such an Iceland.
Maybe if we win the lottery 800 times we can do it. :)
[QUOTE=Linµx;24542353]OP you do realise that [b]the guy[/b] that made the SA thread's previous project [b]was a fully functional submarine?[/b] We could never achieve anything like this.[/QUOTE]
Yes I know this is totally off topic, but a fully functional sub? Any pics?
[QUOTE=Pat.Lithium;24708956]Lets not, the flamethrower will melt it and it will not be such an Iceland.[/QUOTE]
It's actually very moderately warm in Iceland. You obviously have never been there, let alone taken some sort of a geography class.
uhm waht i said before was a bit of a fail, its not 1,000 USD for the CubeSat its actually about $350,000 to put the whole thing together and into low orbit. With the right ppl and enough money we could seriously put a small satellite in to orbit.
knowing the latest facepunch fad, i guess there's some sort of communism symbol gonna be on the side
With 19 model rockets and some ducktape "anything" can be done

I know that, it's like a Viking name.
Either way the name is misleading and we cannot start a country there.
Hows about, Facepunch boat.
Sail around the world.
Fucking lets do it.
I will help build it if the time comes.Also don't crash it into the international space station they will be pissed.
I'll help! I can donate £9.74 on paypal. Also, I have good organisations skills. I'm sure with my leadership we will fail to launch a rocket into space.

Yeah lets shoot firerain into the sky!
It will rain fire if we fail.

An UAV would be cool.
Getting something small (remote controlled airplane) into the air is very easy but having it fly itself is going to be a challenge.
This challenge mainly lies in the hands of programmers and electronic engineering.
A submarine would be much more widespread in terms of knowledge needed.

People made submarines in the jungles to smuggle cocaine, don't think it is actually THAT difficult, I'm sure you could find some designs somewhere in the depths of the internet.
