Personally, I'd forget "shuttle-like." I'd forget chemical rockets too. There are several excellent public-domain text files explaining how to build your own flying saucer. Or you could simply look up Thomas Townsend Brown's patents. (There are also PD plans for a spacetime-warping coil, but it's dangerous -- if the power fails at high output, the backlash tends to violently disrupt any matter within the field. If you plan work along such lines, be sure to read Carl Meredith Allen's warnings in his correspondence with Dr. Morris K. Jessup.) -- * From the disk of: | jms@vanth.uucp | "You know I never knew Jim Shaffer, Jr. | amix.commodore.com!vanth!jms | that it could be so 37 Brook Street | uunet!cbmvax!amix!vanth!jms | strange..."
