This is my first post and I figured I start a thread over the reason I found this site.......
Space Travel....during the Cold War era the US made leaps and bounds into the wide Universe of space travel. This seemingly exponential growth ended with the death of the USSR among other reasons...... we have made improvements in our space etc. technology over the past 30+ years but not even close to the advancements made during the early years of the space program.
Virgin Galatic and other such companies seem to give us some hope with a renewed interest in Space travel/exploration. The privatization of Space travel could be the best thing for the process of renewing our ability to explore and progress. One of the best motivators for scientific developments is improving the bottom line of some corporation.
I'm just putting it out there what new improvements have anyone heard of? Any wacky ideas that could possibly work? (I've read some on the Orion Project which seemed promising even though it ended 40 years ago....) Just any thoughts put them down.........
