The thing about space is that you don't always have to have everything be vertical. Since the Jormungand is really tall, mount it sideways in the carrier. You could just make the launch bay Zero-G and build it sideways. The SNOT might be difficult (...) (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

(...) Hmmmm. Sideways, eh? I might just try that. The carrier is still on the proverbial drawing board, which means that anything is possible. I'll be sure to let you know how I get on. Sideways. I like it! Chris (20 years ago, 5-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Where is the grapple system going to grip on your model? You don't want a (...) (20 years ago, 6-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Hi Peter (...) Optimism. Optimism is my "word" for the day! I have many other words usually employed when MOCs spontaneously explode, repeatedly. Sometimes SNOT ain't so hot. :) (...) Reassuring.
