Ralph Nansen, former Design Manager for Boeing Space Shuttle Aircraft will give us the straight scoop on Solutions from Space, why Solar Energy is our best solution to the energy crisis, and why his development of updated reusuable launch systems with a payload about 120,000 pounds will aid Space Tourism and more.
From the launch of Sputnik on October 4, 1957 the Space Flight program has grown to spur interest in reusuable launch vehicles and for winged versions of the second stage of the Saturn V as the orbiter. The need for low cost space transportation for Solar Power Satellites is becoming vital. Reusable launch vehicle systems patterned after the first two stages of the Saturn V are the only low cost solutions.
Nansen's books Energy Crisis: Solution from Space and Sun Power: The Global Solution for the Coming Energy Crisis present a bold approach to the future.
