facts. (NASA seems to jelously guard these for some reason.) Bearing this
im mind can I recomend the following link for a good grounding in NASA
hardware, design studies and management history:
http://www.abo.fi/~mlindroo/Space.htm
I've also got PDF copies of SP-413 & 428; the orrigonal space settlement
studies. If you've ever seen fancy artwork of mass-drivers on the moon,
*this* is the science and engineering behind the paint & ink. They go into
more detail and math than I can handle but there's plenty there for the
layman or woman. They do weigh in at 30Mb each though, so I can't post
them to files.
If anyone's on broardband and wants a copy I'll be happy to mail them. On
a 512k link they'll each take about 8 minutes to download, if you account
doesn't reject it. Any takers?

I'll take them, but not to the address I used for sending this message, try
sending them to me at mdelaney@...
I think I have no size limit on that address but if that doesn't work,
there are other ways.

For anyone out there that feels they run the risk of asking a stupid
question: There are no stupid questions (within reason :-) ). I have read
and occasional corresponded with many members in this group for quite
awhile, and I can tell you that they are all receptive to questions, and do
a very good job at answering them and/or providing links for further
resources. So, don't hesitate to ask - I always get this image in my mind of
all these posters hanging over their keyboards scrambling to be the first to
answer :-)
like the force of gravity or the inhospitable nature of hard vacuum, but
things that may be cutting edge or debatable are another thing entirely. Be
prepared to defend your position if you believe in it, because you will hear
about it. Not to mention any names, Tango! :-)
It's what learnin' is all about!

Sorry about the delay. Both files sent off today to those who asked for
them.
