I have heard that space craft with wings would become torn apart by the
impact of flying in space. How do you know that these conditions will exist
in space? People thought many centuries earlier that the earth is flat yet
is is almost perfectly spherical in structure and the theory of relativity
by Albert Einstein was almost considered a law until very recently when that
theory was proven false by science. We have organizations that say that
they are committed to sending people to space yet we give these people
billions of dollars so they can fly this glorified airplane named the Space
Shuttle. If we were really committed about sending people into outer space,
we would have already colonized the moon and Mars. I do not deny your
intelligence but I do not find ease in your statements in response to my
letters but I have also not applied for these courses in science yet at my
college so maybe I am right or maybe I am wrong in my statements to you,
Shiri and other people? The truth is even if wings were not needed in my
space craft, the space craft would still be torn apart by particles in space
and my space craft, as opposed to your space craft, not only use these wings
as weapons platforms but as sources of power and to, as some people may have
indicated in earlier letters, enter the atmosphere of planets. Your space
craft do not possess this power of entering the atmosphere because there may
be situations where hiding from the enemy may require a space craft to hide
in the atmosphere of a planet. If your space craft do possess the power to
hide in the atmosphere, please let me know how they enter the atmosphere. I
am simply wanting to know more about space travel and how Lego space craft
should be constructed by people.

P.S. I do not want to be rude, Dori-san, but I want respect, not anger,
from the rest of the people on the Lugnet bulletin boards.

The Shuttle model we use now has wings, but they are only on it for its atmospheric (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)

All we said is particles and debris (I mean sizes from a dust (...) (23 years ago, 26-Jun-01, to lugnet.space, lugnet.loc.au)
