Ion engine enters space race
« on: April 18, 2008, 06:09:28 AM »
I want to start out by asking if it is considered as trolling the way that I post articles to this forum. Next, here is an article about a private company that is sending an ION drive vehicle to study the earths GRAVITY. What is cool is that the ship has solar panels on one side, the one that faces the sun, and fins that work like a heat sink on the side that faces away from the sun. Anyway, I post these articles because I feel they demonstrate the RE and also should lead to good debate here.

Qinetiq gets to test its T5 engine for real this summer

|Let's hope it's more reliable than the other T5 Britain has used this year (Terminal 5, Stansted Airport)

I stopped reading when it's said that the ESA is involved.

The ESA fails, mostly. I predicted the Beagle would fail before it did, its design was that sloppy. I could have saved them the cash.
Proof the Earth is round!

It's a big acronym but you can sound it out buddy, don't worry!
