[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] RE: Charybdis Correction, it's a "BLOCK D GAS-CORE FISSION REACTOR PROPULSION SYSTEM" whatever that is. Contact was in fact lost some 6 months and 14 days into the flight. [QUOTE] DEPARTURE: 07-23-2037 LOST: 2-07-2038, [/QUOTE]It's still not clear if the Alien encounter is responsible for the cut off or there was a malfunction and they simply chanced upon the aliens. The mission report dose have one interesting reference to how fast it could go. [QUOTE] VEHICLE SYSTEMS AT TELEMETRY CUTOFF INDICATED THRUST ABNORMALITY; VEHICLE ATTAINED 12X SOLAR ESCAPE VELOCITY 2.56 HOURS EARLIER THAN PLANNED. ASSUMED VEHICLE LOST WITH CONSUMABLES RUNOUT, 20% POSSIBILITY OF CREW SURVIVAL WITH HIBERNATION SYSTEMS AT LOW USAGE MODE. [/QUOTE]For those without a calculator handy; [i]12x Solar escape velocity = 12 * 620 km/s = 7440 km/s[/i] Aren't I lucky that we (at the ASDB) discussed all this mathematical malarkey back when we were coming up with a design.
