How to build my own ISS ???
I want to build my own space station in Earth's orbit.
What do I need to do? |

First, be like all smart people and crap in your pants. I know for a fact
Einstein did that just before he came up with the theory of relativity. After you've completed that, I'll give you the next step. "Robin-Louis Clevis" wrote in message oups.com... I want to build my own space station in Earth's orbit. What do I need to do? |

Why build your own when you can just steal the existing one?
Henchmen will be involved, of course- I suggest you start right away on engineering a fast-growing breed of superwarriors, and make sure to have at least one special agent with a fez, and one of eastern descent. |

This may be enough, but if not, you'll need to raid a few other countries repositories. After completing this step, the rest should be relatively easy. Getting Burt Rutan on your payroll would be a good second step. Jon |

Using your existing chassis would save quite a bit of expense as it already most of the directional and guidance equipment. The only item missing from the chassis is propellant, but it does have front and rear vents which would be more than adequate for the necessary propellant to acheive orbit. |

Get yourself a good supply of aluminium foil shielding material to keep all of the aliens from reading your mind, then remove all fabri/plastic materials from your vicinity and ensure that your body is fully shielded with the aforementioned foil. Now you can start to formulate plans. Gerry :-)} London, Canada |

I want to build my own space station in Earth's orbit.
What do I need to do? Five easy steps... Step 1 build orbital vehicle. Step 2 Build Radio controlled Rubber Alien Puppet Step 3 Use Step 1 fly up and attach Step 2 to the existing ISS near a window. Step 4 operate Step 2 . Step 5 when the current residents of the ISS leave or die of fright it's yours... Step 5a if the current residents counter attack with their own rubber alien puppet, verify it's really rubber before responding. Failng to do this step properly could start an interstellar war. Paul P.S. I'm still working on step 1. |

Can I help?
I have a Chinese lathe and mill and a Machining for Dummies book at my disposal. I could make the torque thrusters or something for a peanut butter and jelly samwish. MJ |

I think there may be a Gingery book (Dave or Vince?) out on this! :-) But
first you have to build the charcoal foundry, lathe, mill, drill press, metal shaper, injection molder, and vacuum former! "Robin-Louis Clevis" wrote in message oups.com... I want to build my own space station in Earth's orbit. What do I need to do? |

Robin-Louis Clevis wrote: I want to build my own space station in Earth's orbit. What do I need to do? First get yourself into a geosynchrous orbit above a good building supply store. Make sure you have enough rope to reach the ground. Have a mobile phone and credit card. As you decide what materials you need , phone the store, place an order and drop the rope. Store fills your order and ties the rope to it. You then pull it up. Start with small orders. As the mass of your station increases you can get bigger orders. Make sure to remember to get enough air and water each time. Or scoot over to MIR and borrow some. |

But, the geosynchronus tractor idea is certainly a better way to send materials into orbit, that's for sure. Jon I tried to interest people in a polar geosynchronous orbit awhile ago without success. It would stay stationary over the north pole :-) |

How about building a machine shop in low earth orbit? You could launch
Doug Goncz up there with his self replicating machining center. Bring the raw materials in from the moon and use solar power to smelt the Iron and let the robots take over. Should do away with cheap Chinese tools within a couple centuries. |

Start your own little country. Create a space agency and offer a joint
operation with the U.S. The U.S. will then fund and test all the components for you. Heck they will even test your rockets at Huntsville like they did for the Russians. Once it's off the ground default on the program and the U.S. will pick up the whole tab. It works. Ask Russia. |

There was a big buzz about 20 years ago for a scheme like that. It used mass drivers on the moon to get an efficient launch system to bring the ores to the earth orbit where the solar power station was. |
