On a brighter note I have a request for anyone on the list
interested. I am currently working on a rocket and shuttle
design to take the $10,000,000 dollar prize for creating a
reusable 3 person or greater craft that can attain orbit
to the 62 mile high edge of space and go back up in 2
weeks. I will need an autopilot, preferably w/ access to
the GPS for tracking position for use in guidance. Any coders
out there interested? Yes, I confess, I am a rocket scientist.
I don't have a PhD but I am a physicist by training. With a
spattering of aerospace engineering. Just found out about the
$10,000,000 prize today, so that project is coming off the back
burner. I'm going to need a bunch of code. Need to pull down a
CAD/CAM program too. Don't think I have one installed right
now.
[Note to self find those darn airfoil tables, what cd did I
burn them on anyway?]
