Re: A in Space
I restored front and rear springs and took the buggy for a fast run. With no shock absorbers, I left earth for longer than I was prepared for.

Re: A in Space
Well its not just a question of how many boosters! You forget how hard it is to find Dylitium Crystals nowadays with Homeland Security looking over your shoulder and not to mention the EPA,FBI,ATF,KGB and CIA !!!!!!

Re: A in Space
Sorry to say, but I don't understand a word of what's been talking here.
But I guess it's me who comes from another planet... |

Re: A in Space
I just looked up the weight of a Tesla roadster; it is 2723 lbs - not much more than a Model A. So maybe we would still need all three boosters?

Re: A in Space
That's old hat, crikey, they surreptitiously took a Model T to the moon to use instead of that screwy "lunar rover".

We are quickly trashing space, now it is a wasteful junkyard!
