Best regards, RA1 Actually, the counter-intuitive reality of relativity and quantum mechanics would seem to suggest somewhat the opposite...? Likewise the fact that non-Euclidean geometry turns out to describe space-time more accurately than the conventional 'common-sense' Euclidean version. 'If the idea is not at first absurd, then there is no hope for it.' -- Einstein

November 22, 20178 yr P.S. Isn't there a Hindu creation myth about the earth resting on the back of a sacred monkey?
November 22, 20178 yr Active Members Well it is just a personal perspective. If I don't perceive it, it may not exist (then) for me. No, I am not going to get into a home made rocket. I am not too keen on home made airplanes either, although they are legal. And no, the earth is not flat even though it could be perceived that way. Best regards, RA1
November 22, 20178 yr Active Members Why do you think a home made rocket will get far enough off the ground to crash? Most likely it will self destruct on the launching pad or simply fizzle. Best regards, RA1

November 23, 20178 yr I think I have noted before that it took Herr von Braun to say to us: "If your core design goal is lightness, you are never going to get a rocket structure sufficient to withstand the rigors of flight. "Permit me first to design you a brick shithouse of a spacecraft that will survive flight. Then we will find a way to make the engines capable of lifting it!" That is why the then-extant Air Force rocket establishment, which resented his intrusion into their realm, liked to denigrate his Huntsville, AL operation as "The Chicago Bridge & Iron Works." Which turned out to be exactly the right approach!

Once all the idiots have run out of money because they spent it on stupid projects like this, the brights will happily continue to run the world.
