| Here's one of my favorites. It's not an airlock per se, but a hatch that closes flush and doesn't take up much space. Could easily be the outside door of an airlock. It's (URL) Todd Trotter's Sighthound Recon>. James Wilson Dallas, TX (21 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)

|
| Here is an y-wing, with a small y, not a capital Y. Cheaper than the original Y-wing. No weapons, no AC, no stereo. Just plain ride. For the budget space racer. Some say for the purist.

It is Katsuhiro Otomo's first feature film since "Akira" and I believe that Sony is distributing it. I saw (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

One can postulate methods around the laws of physics as currently (...) (21 years ago, 19-Oct-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

No. Steambots are powered by STEAM, yeah, thats right, steam as in evaporated water for all you science geeks out there. And when they run out of (...)
