    How It's Gonna Happen

    :) I KNOW this thing is going to happen ... someday. I hope it's fairly soon. WHEN the technology for a 1-G spacecraft dawns, events will probably move quickly. Everyone knows that even space is all about Capitalism. As with all the follow-on to major discoveries and ventures of the past, what...

    Safety First

    Thinking about what would happen to a 1-G spaceship IF it could NOT decelerate after reaching the halfway point in it's journey. Had the idea that any trip should be a two-jump process: accelerating toward the destination for 1/4 of the trip, decelerating down to zero, then accelerating again to...

    Reminder 01

    Finally decided on my two favorite spacecraft for experimenting with 1-G trips, the Ares Lander and Perseus Mark-2 :). Both thrust in the proper direction for a 1-G spaceship with proper views & navigation. AGMFD and Interplanetary work fine with both. Ares is more like I imagine a small ship...

    The 1-G Spaceship

    I'm starting this blog to (mostly) remind myself where I am with progress toward building a 1-G spaceship. I'm just beginning to learn how to use Anim8tor and not very good at it yet. What I want to create is a saucer-type ship whose main engines and navigation systems are oriented straight UP...

    THE 1-G SPACESHIP

    Question: What would be the Holy Grail of inter-planetary space flight? In my mind it would be an engine that could deliver forward thrust of 32 ft/sec/sec over a long time. In other words, a 1-G spaceship. I've been playing with this idea with Orbiter for awhile now and have come up with some...
