Seniors Designing Moon Rockets - NASA Jupiter Project
NASA Jupiter Project

NASA is hard at work designing the Ares moon rocket with the hopes of landing on the moon AGAIN in 2020.

Meanwhile, a bunch of NASA engineers, currently active, but many retired, are secretly working on an alternative design called the Jupiter (seen in the photo with the white background.) The rogue group claims their rocket is cheaper, safer and more powerful than the Ares. Pretty bold statement from a bunch of guys who mostly are out to pasture.

 

 The Jupiter rockets would use the old shuttle fuel tank design on both rockets, with one booster carrying payload only, but another one of similar size carrying the astronauts and spacecraft. The shuttle fuel tank is already ready to go and perfected through the trial and error of more than a hundred launches. The NASA establishment dismisses the new design, saying it won’t work, while the designers disagree, saying it would save $19 billion in development costs and would be $16 billion cheaper to operate over the years.

I go for Project Jupiter. Old Blood BUT new thinking. Long overdue. Wake up NASA, remember Challenger, Apollo 13, Apollo 1. ( NO your ideas are not that good).
