Basically I still have a full system of fresh R12 that i want to bottle up when i pull the A/C system out, instead of taking it out and disposing of it, or releasing it. I have a manifold, but would i be able to re-use empty R134 bottles to store it?

You would be surprised how much traction you actually have with dirt tires on a prepped track. If you can get into it, I would suggest a pure stock or pony stock class. It's a little more expensive to run, but used cars that already conform to the rules can be bought cheaply.

I've got a theory about the universe to tickle your mind, what if the entire universe was round, centerless and was only a piece in a string of other universes that make up something bigger?

Found this, looks interesting, but i dont see the advantages of it over a regular ET manifold and turbo setup. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/pts/1419830597.html

(the IROC series has a 305)

where trying to stick with current technology, to make a practical vessel to travel to another planet.

leave it filled, you can choose whether to leave the converter on or not, if not put a plug over the opening of it and be gentle with it.

I'm with Jerry on this one, using asteroids as a source of ore is a good idea, but crashing even a smaller sized asteroid into Antarctica doesnt seem like a good idea at the moment. Say we gather up a couple smaller iron and nickel asteroids and form them into ship, about what thickness would be required as a general rule of thumb? 3 inches thick?

couldnt get to the junkyard today, sorry,

until a small meteor rips through it, Could you email me the PDF?

I might have to buy you lunch and talk this a bit more in depth! If i'm not mistaken, didnt NASA have a proposal to send a crew to mars using that setup?

If you combined that with low calorie nutrient dense food, I'm sure you could live to the 100 year mark as long as you dont develop a mental disorder or die... alright, so i was thinking on the engines last night, what about using a long range plasma rocket, to pull the craft up to velocity, then use the oberth maneuver to slingshot you from planet to planet?

I can grab you one tomorrow at the junkyard. $5?

all except my third member!

So who's gonna get RTz?

unless you wanna invent a gravity system, then yes. you can live in a zero-g environment, you just become really weak, thus the need to work out the muscles through a friction based gym. wireless power transmission would be bad ass, if you could control it.

I almost forgot about those, alright, so with the proper training we can sustain long periods of time in confined spaces. Think we could send container satellites orbiting the planets along the route, so that we would be able re supply at every planet?

but in space you would have to stay their years, or until a shuttle system is developed to switch people out.

And yeah, I'm not as look as i am retarded.....

The problem with that, would be. how would you get the materials into space to build them? where would you build them? how would you get supplies to them? how would you sustain a human crew living in captivity for extended periods without getting cabin fever? also I'm sure if their was a better way I'm sure they would be using it.

this wouldnt be possible for another 100 years or so anyway. as for the child/human rights activists throwing a fit, their would be nothing they could do, as the parents would rightfully have given their children up for the purpose of creating a brighter future for man kind. and the kids would be in their 20's or possibly 30's by the time they are actually called upon. I think this is exactly what the economy and the world needs, another technology race to develop space travel.

I just have a love of airplanes, space craft and the technology/science that goes into them. the only thing where missing is a good engine, we would need like a sbc equivalent of an engine for space flight, Think we could control a nuclear or hydrogen blast, to push us? Also for artificial gravity could we just spin the ship fast enough to create it, like they proposed for the manned trip to mars?

Say the new Stirling radioisotope generators prove reliable and need limited maintenance. Now also say that they could generate enough juice to power a life support system and an engine, also you could use solar energy to charge gel battery's built into the walls, which would provide juice for navigation, communications, aux. life support, lighting..etc. Now granted it wouldn't be a small ship or even a fast ship, but it would be enough to land someone on one of Saturns moons and start the terraform process. For the crew, you could start with a group of infants, given up by their parents, to be trained for the sole purpose of flying to another planet or moon. As screwed up as that sounds, it would actually work out quit nicely. Anyone still fallowing me? (also you would most likely have to assemble/build the ship in space or on the moon.)

alright, this isnt clever anymore...

lol, that was great....
