[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] Unfortunately, many of Russia's larger rockets had a tendancy to go bang on the launch pad, although much of the stuff they're actually using now is pretty good, I wouldn't trust Energia! Most of the speculation about the CEV that I've seen suggests that it will be non-resuable. Can you imagine the protests if there was a nuclear reactor being launched every few months from Florida? Also, I *really* don't think it'd be a good idea to stick an antimatter reactor on a manned spacecraft without giving it some serious testing first. Preferably somewhere around Neptune.In any case, for manned missions, it really doesn't matter how powerful your engine is or how long it can burn; you can only accelerate at low Gs for significant amounts of time. Also, what is the maximum G-force the human body can take, and for how long? [/QB][/QUOTE]
