| (...) Solid fuel rockets are essentially big fireworks: ya light 'em and they burn until nothing is left. They are great bang for your buck, but they don't last long. And in your scenario, you still have to get the boosters up to the space station. (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

| (...) Hmm, what about small unmanned craft for overnight package delivery? (FedEx in Space ;-) How much fuel is in one of those space shuttle booster rockets and how much of that is wasted getting to escape velocity? I bet if a small rocket were (...)

| (...) Wow, cool, I get just over 1 day (~30 hours), which is probably short enough to ignore the fact that the source and target are both moving. I used s=½at² and solved for t. For s I used 5.8 x 10^10 m (36 x 10^6 miles) and for a I used 9.8 m/s². (...) (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
