(...) Kevin, Thanks for your input. I googled this "Bussard ramjet" guy and saw the theory. Very cool. I think I will rework the grills to scoop more space stuff :-) And yes, there's more photos to follow. This is fun! John (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)

Hello All, From moocher to member in only 600+ days! Check's in the mail. I'm a member. On to the photos... I'm no scientist so I dunno if the physics of it all is right. But, I wanted to imagine that my ship could use space particles for fuel i.e. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.space)
