Do you know how much time it takes for a pre-launch checkout, even if you
have everything ready in advance? Hint: a lot more than an hour.
"
Well now that I think about it somemore...
Here are some ideas:
Construction of new buildings with launch tubes inside of them.
Then important people go sit in a rocket...
And the rocket shoots through the building through the launch tube... all
the way up into the air...
Like a missile silo sort of...
Only problem is what to do when the rocket is at it's highest point ?
Deploy a parachute and hope for the best ?
Or perhaps have a little propellor above it... so it can stay up for a while
?
Glide ?
Or perhaps a sky-platform... where they can seek shelter... until nuclear
impacts on the ground are over ;) :)
Sky-platform has adventage of being movevable in mid-air.
Some newsgroups re-added cause this is kinda interesting ! ;) =D
ANTI-NUCLEAR-WARHEAD-TECHNICALLY-IDEAS ! ;) =D LOL.
Who would have thought huh ?! ;) =D
Ofcourse this does not yet protect the infastructure.
Perhaps entire buildings could lift off ! ;) =D
Reminds me of avangers or x-men or something... floating
platforms/floating/flying carriers ! ;)
Perhaps even working from a cheap blimp might be safer ?! ;) :) =D
Bye,
Skybuck =D
