Re: [CONTEST] The Next Generation of Space Travel

Please don't get me wrong, the Space Elevator is a legitimate and feasible entry. And I'm not jealous. I thought it looked vaguely steampunk because of the spires and arches. I'm not saying that it is steampunk just that, at least for me, it conjures up images of large boilers, Victorian architectur...

Re: [CONTEST] The Next Generation of Space Travel

Re: [CONTEST] The Next Generation of Space Travel

Re: [CONTEST] The Next Generation of Space Travel

I envision that the next great step forward in space travel will be a moon base that will be used as a staging point for placing man on Mars.
