Wrong! Ion rockets are in use now, and have been for 30 years. They're just not big enough to for sub-orbital work. See (URL) Drew ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kyle D.

There are liquid-fuelled rockets, which can be turned on and off ("throttled"), and there are solid-fuel rockets which cannot (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I doubt this. The Legoland Space series was introduced in 1978. It was the first space-themed series of LEGO toys that made use of the poseable "minifig", which was also introduced in 1978. "Legoland" was the name given the the line of sets (...) (24 years ago, 22-Jun-01, to lugnet.space)

Hi. Gravity generators per se are not in violation of the laws of physics. However, they are far in advance of any current technology that we have. In order to generate an artificial gravity field, without the use of centrifugal force, we'd have to (...) (24 years ago, 21-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)
