| Homebuilt spacecraft, you don’t see very | | | | either. Don’t get me wrong, it’s ok to |
| many of those around. I believe that it would be | | | | make some money. |
| really cool if a machine could be built that could be | | | | Now you may think that I’m crazy but |
| driven on the road, flown in the air and could go | | | | that’s ok, by the time you finish reading this |
| on and/or underwater. I don’t believe that | | | | you won’t. Oh, bye the way if you listen to |
| such a craft has been invented, at least not on | | | | Star Wars music while reading this you will enjoy |
| this planet. If you’re going to have a flying car | | | | it more and have more fun…really! Although it |
| that goes underwater why not take it one step | | | | would be quite fun and interesting to build such a |
| further and have it be able to go into outer space | | | | craft, I don’t wish to build a flying car that |
| too? A flying car that goes underwater and outer | | | | goes underwater and outer space just yet. I |
| space too, can such a machine be built? Did I | | | | would like to build a regular space plane first. Or |
| mention that it’s hypersonic? I’m sure all | | | | perhaps I should rephrase that to say; an |
| the need for speed Lancair owners/builders would | | | | exceptional space plane. I would like to build a |
| like that. I believe that such a machine can be built! | | | | suborbital space plane that: is capable of flying |
| I believe that it can be built very economically! | | | | every day even two or three times a day, that is |
| | | | very economical to operate and build, that is fast |
| To build such a machine would be a very good | | | | and efficient, that is the safest of the safest and |
| engineering challenge and quite an educational | | | | best of the best. I would like my space plane to |
| experience. Oh, and it need not be as advanced | | | | be operated as if it were a Cessna, on a regular |
| as the one in the movie Flight of the Navigator. I | | | | basis that is. Some innovations to make this |
| also believe that homebuilt spacecraft construction | | | | possible would be: long life rocket motors, rapid |
| will become common in less than fifteen years! It | | | | airframe structural analysis and repair, rapid |
| shouldn’t cost millions of dollars to go into | | | | component overhaul and replacement, and of |
| outer space and you shouldn’t have to pay | | | | course high quality components, materials and |
| hundreds of thousands of dollars for a ticket | | | | craftsmanship. |
