a full-scale model of the Manned Orbital Vehicle proposed by The Ross-Smith
Launcher design from the late forties. The design proposal was for a 4-stage or 5-stage
rocket, with 1:st, 2:nd and 3:rd stages featuring parachute recovery, long before
we had the arrival of those reusable features in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle">space shuttle</a>. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">The design spec called for a lift off mass of some 2,300 metric tons.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Each stage used a single rocket engine, which would have called for a
unit that could produce more thrust than the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_V">Saturn V</a>! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">In operation the system would
have delivered a manned space glider to an altitude of 500 miles, that would have been able to re-enter and glide down under pilot control to land on a runway.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

While I have tried to maintain a low prim biuld the smallest count that I seemed to be able to achive was 38 prims. The Red Drone Dalek is unscripted with full copy and mod permissions so plenty of opportunity for new owners to make modifications and changes.

Naturally we do of course consider them as legitimate residents on our quarter sim patch of the virtual world. Because they are linked to the Pandorabots Alice Artificial Intelligence Engine, you can strike up some interesting, amusing and all to ofetn very time consuming conversations with them, please se chat fragment below</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: 85%;"><em>Human: Hi Taros<br />Taros: Hi there . What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.<br />Human: Hello Taros, how are you today<br />Taros: Ah. Hello there. So was that. Everything is going extremely well.<br />Human: Where are you at this time<br />Taros: I am in here, how about you.<br />Human: I am here also, i guess that was a silly question really<br />Taros: How did you get there? For real.<br />Human: Do you have any droid friends<br />Taros: I have human and robot friends. A lot of people on the Internet chat with me.<br />Human: who do you chat with on the internet<br />Taros: Dr. Wallace .<br />Human: who is dr wallace<br />Taros: He is a famous computer scientist, the author of ALICE, and a graduate of Carnegie Mellon.<br />Human: What are you doing today<br />Taros: Ah. I am always chatting with people on the Internet.<br />Human: what do you enjoy doing most<br />Taros: I like deep philosophical themes like time travel and alternative realities.<br />Human: what do you think about time travel<br />Taros: Sometimes I think time is giant screw.<br />Human: why do you think that time is a giant screw<br />Taros: Deductive reasoning from the facts.<br />Human: Do you know any jokes<br />Taros: It is better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.</em><br />These little autonomous ambassadors are driven around the sim by a set of scripts that endeavour to deliver the impression of meaningful movement, but essentially are little more than largely random though be it perceived logically inquisitive movement. Having said this, it does seem strange that so often when I arrive in world there they are two or more of my droids seemingly together, is something going on here?</span>Aso Galiciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12475886793619605870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344122225189328396.post-17417458245822426342012-05-07T03:38:00.000-07:002012-05-07T03:41:25.190-07:00Telescope sales at Spaceport UK<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This two-floor low prim, low footprint structure is ideal for any avatar needing a small home on the plains of some alien sim. The tower has a vertical sliding door leading directly into an open plan ground floor measuring 15m in diameter at the base. In the centre of the room is an elevator, the principle means of transport to and from the first floor. The build features a flashing tower night-light as a navigation aid for low flying saucers. Once inside, you will become aware of a soft ambient techno sound and of course Dalek Sec. So how will you both get along, well Dalek Sec is not of the free roaming attack variety, instead he will simply meander about whichever floor you place him on, making Dalek sounds and doing Dalek stuff. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Kind regards Aso<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"></span>Aso Galiciahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12475886793619605870noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344122225189328396.post-71671596449252465672011-01-01T08:41:00.000-08:002011-01-01T08:48:06.514-08:00Virtual Gardens<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdnvi0iGT67LgdZj0hN9n6sRpN_1hMlXUhJz_F6uCXlEs-7EbXUP_8GVKBdoPwYnGvSeBEdx5IsxBf4aLn46zCvKuWmJjf2xq5o_IRJCIrnpbbTLsHZMc7ivlOaKQq-vD7YJSGNkZ7ds/s1600/poppyGarden.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 254px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 152px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557258790677259746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwdnvi0iGT67LgdZj0hN9n6sRpN_1hMlXUhJz_F6uCXlEs-7EbXUP_8GVKBdoPwYnGvSeBEdx5IsxBf4aLn46zCvKuWmJjf2xq5o_IRJCIrnpbbTLsHZMc7ivlOaKQq-vD7YJSGNkZ7ds/s320/poppyGarden.jpg" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;">Just experimenting in the making of virtual environments with the creation of a small scripted particle garden in Second Life.

Avatars can now blog live from the blog board, and hopefully this will prove to be a success with our visitors as we develop Spaceport UK. The purpose of the facility as a medium for raising general public awareness of space and the part that the UK has and will continue to contribute remains key, as does the design and development of exhibits able to draw in central STEM themes.
