I also work in software (for optical engineering) and am a space enthusiast, and I started a space-related blog recently. It looks like you are busy in the real world but I'll check back and hope you resume blogging soon.<BR/><BR/>-BruceFlyingSingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015886527228889332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11996122.post-1126637965998119962005-09-13T13:59:00.000-05:002005-09-13T13:59:00.000-05:00"Imagine if your car could be a tiny compact that ..."Imagine if your car could be a tiny compact that gets 80mpg but when you need the power, you drop 8 more engines in and change out the cab and you have a 4x4 2 ton pickup. That is a handy engineering feat."<BR/><BR/>This seems to imply that the single engine Falcon I is interchangable with the 9 engine Falcon IX, which is untrue. Only the Falcon V and Falcon IX use interchangable hardware, but still impressive engineering.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
