  Re: Real Audio files
 
Ryan, MIDI files are not like audio files; they are a list of instructions that tell which instrument (from a known list) to play, how long and how loud each note is, etc). There's no automated way to convert recorded audio to MIDI. There ARE many (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Transit Time to Mars
 
I think the problem with long-burn-time solid fuel engines is that the nozzle heats up so much that it erodes rapidly. Typical liquid-fueled engines cool the nozzle with the fuel just before it's burned. IsThere some Space-Age (Pardon the ancient (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I didn't *say* the problem was realistic. OTOH, if you're interested in some powerful interplanetary propulsion devices, I've got an idea that just needs a few more giga-bucks to bring to completion ... Steve (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Of course, when you're going *that* far, you also have to count relativistic effects. Is '1g of acceleration' from the frame of the guy on the rocket, of the frame of the guy on Earth? (Important difference...) And then you have to figure out (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

At best, you could slingshot off the moon with a grazing orbit (about 100m at perihelion, and hit atmosphere in less than 24 hours I think. Only once per orbit, and (...)

  Re: Transit Time to Mars
 
(...) Actually, you can make them burn at almost any rate you want to. It is a question of how much exposed area there is to burn at once. The SRB motors have a * shaped hole in the middle of them right from top to bottom. This produces a very large (...) (25 years ago, 16-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
