RE Shuttle Vs. 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!

Tommy Mac;

   So in other words - We'd have a steam-powered rocket!

   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.
