JS, RR and other scientists
Saw on TV last night but not in my Miami Herald today. Most of our space 
rockets go up
with Russian made rocket engines which are more powerful and more reliable then 
our own.
Putnim threatened to stop selling them to us if we persist with sanctions over 
the Ukrainian
situation, tsk, tsk.

Hey JS you didn't factor in the cost of the rocket engine as well as the fuel 
necessary and
what happens when a rocket fails and all that dangerous radiation water comes 
down on
us people besides the number of rockets needed daily to send that much to the 
sun, tsk, tsk?
We could parachute the engine back but I never heard it done? Suzpect not worth 
the
effort?

Personally I am too stupid to suggest a solution so it is more fun to shoot 
down the other's
crack pot ideas of a very serious problem. A lot of real scientists are 
thinking about it but
no viable answer.
