      From: imachrismoose@gmail.com              A thanks to both of you for the great information! I'll be honest, I was       hoping for a bigger final velocity, but it would have been better if you had       shown me what sort of equations or online calculators I could use, to help me       figure out what dimensions        my space ship would need to have in order to get close to what I'm trying to       do. I guess that's my fault for not asking.       As for the rotational momentum thing, I found a solution. I realized that I       had given her a tiny RCS reserve in her suit, and not given it a second       thought about how that affects what comes before. That was a plot hole before,       but you guys helped me find        it! ^_^       It's back to the drawing board for me.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
