Saturn V Nick: Do there exist any solid Saturn V figures? Me; I don't think so. I spent a couple weeks one summer, going through old magazines, govt. documents books, etc., and the best I could fine was the cost for the entire project, (25 billion) I couldn't find the cost of one launch, let alone the cost/lb for the payload. If anyone manages to find some other, more solid figure, beware; You may have found the costs including R&D, or the cost of the rocket, includ- ing the LM and CSM. Those babies must have cost quite a bit alone. If anyone does know of more solid figures, please, post them. (Mary?)

So what do you think the Galileo probe might be able to *see* if it had a TV camera on-board? Funny hi-contrast clouds like on JPL's Galileo T-shirt? Creatures hunting each other like in an A.C.Clarke short story classic or more recently on Sagan's COSMOS? I bet the designers of the probe have thought very hard about what it might look like inside or inbetween Jupiter's clouds - and decided *then* that a camera would be a waste of weight and money. Sure, in the beginning of interplanetary probe travel, there were indeed many scientists who just couldn't imagine that cameras would show anything of importance at another planet, and e.g. Mariner 2 was optically blind. But then Mariner 4 went to Mars - and since then NASA has never left out a camera system if there was even a faint hope for seeing something new. And still, no further Venus probe (neither by NASA nor the Soviets) has ever used imaging inside the clouds. Huygens' camera, BTW, is primarily aimed at the *surface* of this moon! ------------------------------ ReSent-Message-ID: Resent-Date: Mon, 06 May 91 17:25:58 EDT Resent-From: Tommy Mac <18084TM@msu.edu> Resent-To: space+@andrew.cmu.edu Date: Mon, 6 May 91 02:22:17 EDT Reply-To: space+%ANDREW.CMU.EDU@msu.edu From: space-request+%ANDREW.CMU.EDU%CARNEGIE.BITNET@msu.edu Subject: SPACE Digest V13 #491 Comments: To: space+@ANDREW.CMU.EDU To: david polito <15432DJP@MSU.BITNET>, Tom McWilliams <18084TM@MSU.BITNET> From: johns@calvin.ee.cornell.edu (John Sahr) Subject: SPACE Digest V13 #476 Tommy Mac wrote: Subject: Laser Launchers (summary).

So much for blasting the Satrun V for being 'old' technology ;-} John Sahr; Actually a steam-powered rocket engine is newer technology than the Saturn. Harken back, if you will, to the mid 1970's, when Evel Knievel attempted to jump the Snake River Canyon with a steam-powered "motorcycle." The rocket worked just fine; unfortunately the parachute deployed at launch, slowing the works up a bit. My Response; I guess I was trying to conjure up images of coal-powered trains, and such. Now that I think of it though, wasn't there a toy rocket - you remember, with the red, hollow nose cone - and you fill it with water, put it on an air pump, and the air pressure pushes the water out the 'exhaust' end, propelling it up, say 100 feet? I stand by the fact that water-powered rockets are old technology, and that one cannot discount the advantages of the Saturn V soley on the basis of the date of the first use of it's technology to launch rockets. :-) Where do you get those things now, anyway? I haven't seen one in years.

To be fair; no-one has actually _proven_ that there is an Oort Cloud, just as no one has _proven_ that there are electrons. The logic is something like this: The Age of the Solar System (from various sources, including carbon-dating, pecentage of H2 in the Sun, etc) is about 5 billion years The average lifetime of a comet in the inner solar system is a few million years (based on the average size, proximity to sun, etc) Therefore, we can conclude that there is a reservoir of comets SOMEWHERE, else, we would never have seen a comet, let alone big, flashy ones. (i.e. comets that still have lots of volatile chemicals that haven't burned off yet) >Terraforming the moons of Jupiter would probably be easier :-). It might be easier, but with so litte energy (sunlight), the issue is whether it would last, or be worth the effort.
