This thread is dead. Maybe I best use some other form of transmitting my questions about space. Or maybe not! Here are my questions about space:
1) Kerbal Space Program. Have you looked into it? Thoughts on how "accurate" it is vs. how "fun" it is? Do you think it's a good way to learn about rocket/orbital mechanics? If you've not touched KSP, you can skip this question.
2) Could you talk about what you actually do at your job?
3) Your thoughts on the Saturn V vs. things like the shuttle's SRBs/main tank, SpaceX's Falcon 9, etc etc. Do you think it remains the most elegant and efficient solution for space travel, given its simplicity? Should we model future rockets after it, or move towards reusable rockets/something else?
Feel free to answer all of these, none of these, or some of these. Thanks to the two of you!
