Ok, this is an article taken from www.telegraph.co.uk.
It's a bit long, so I'm going to put it in the next post, so it's not on the same page twice.
Bacially, I think it's quite interesing, but I don't really understand *all* of the technical details.
It's certaonly interesting that NASA is at least taking it seriously, but a multi-generation journy?
You start off on it, knowing that you'll die before you get there? That you'll die on the spaceship, away from the majority of your friends and family? No thanks.
But maybe you think differently?
Have a read and let me know.

I remember reading a whole web-site on the fake landing and it ended up convincing me then I spent the next week of Physics telling everyone about it instead of working out what colour a wave was.
I recommend that *anyone* who took the "moon landings" at face value reads it.
Dark Moon: Apollo and the Whistle Blowers.

I challenge anyone to read this book and still say that they believe the moon landings actually happened - at least in the form that they were presented to the public.
This is *not* a book on Conspiracy Theories, but simple analysis of the alleged moon landings based on cold hard facts.
I haven't finished the book yet, but the first two chapters alone have convinced me that it was a sham, staged by NASA and whoever else was involved, in order to secure credibility and finance.

No, but I did see a program on TV about it a while ago, possibly even last summer.
They had all this "evidence" against the fact that there actually had been a moon landing, and a bloke from NASA apparently defending, only he didn't really answer any of the arguments against him.
It was quite interesting, and I'd like to watch it again.

Did I tell you about the book?
*Wonders who'll be the first to say it...*
Agreed.
I think NASA should try putting a man on the moon first, before they try anything this outlandish.
I think I had heard something about that.
They fire you straight up into the air, 'til you reach the edges of the atmosphere. The earth is still turning as you travel, so when you come back down, you land in a different place.
They reckon it could get you to Australia in a couple of hours or something. At least, the commercial version could. The military one would probably be even swifter.

Anyone heard about the cold fusion power sources the Americans are working on ? According to some sources - and not just the raving loony conspiracy sites - they're very near to a breakthrough.
A bit back, the US Airforce commissioned a paper to investigate what the US Airforce and its allies would need to still hold air supeiority in 2025. This can be seen at (www.au.af.mil/au/2025) Somewhere amongst that lot is a new aircraft - Hypersoar - which would be able to travel from the Earths atmosphere and then back into it again, allowing transport to anywhere within 30 minutes. Its an interesting report, and official to !

I sort of agree with the last post, on a few points.
The first thing we need to do is to move away from fossil fuels as they aren't really that powerful and there is a limitation on supplies. We need a new fuel which is extremely powerful and that lasts for quite a bit of time but is lightweight. This would then allow for us to get a big enough boost to get the right amount of acceleration. Another thing is that the spaceship would have to leave from space ie from a space station as the earth's gravity would seriously slow the craft down.
There are some people trying to research into alternative fuels which are actually worth using, but unfortunately they get either the funding or get silenced by the oil companies whose buisness would fall apart if one was discovered.
I think that interstellar flight is still an idea and will not be near reality for at least two or three generations.
Maybe if we set off a hydrogen/nuclear bomb when the ship is far enough away from the earth, to propel it... or maybe not.
