The Delta Clipper program is history now, due to the unfortunate landing accident after a test flight July 31. However, a record of its flights and its impact on future launch vehicle development lives on at the Delta Clipper Experimental Archive. This site has a wealth of information, including lots of images, from the DC-X/DC-XA test flights. http://www.engineering.usu.edu/Departments/mae/Space/dcxa.html |
This is a detailed simulation of future models of human growth across the solar system, inspired by Marshall Savage's The Millenial Project. Explore previously-run simulations of human expansion or create your own. There's a Java applet version of Solarpop that allows easy-to-use dynamic control of new simulations. The wealth of detail in this site is amazing! |
Astronomer Dr. Sten Odenwald answers astronomy questions... lots of them. Ask him a question at The Astronomy Cafe and he'll reply within a few days.
