Rockets are primative but its all we have, shame we can't collect photons from suns then compress and project out an exhaust to make a space drive. could be the next idea for science fiction.
i've always held that opinion, i mean, looks at stuff like video watches from, like, spy movies of the 60's. they laughed at those ideas, but now they can me done easily!!
I'm glad that the ESA has/will have the ability to launch Crewed vehicles. The Shuttle is old (mostly relying on 70's technology) and the Orion is years away. We (meaning Americans AND mankind) need all the help we can get to make space travel and exploration a reality.
Yeh, solar sail, interesting idea, but feasible to build? Not likely, seems mostly theory, and costly.
How about the Orion Project? Thats been around for decades and we can build it. Micro nuke propulsion, possibly achieving .3 to .5 light. About time to use ridiculous nuclear technology for a noble cause.
Chernobyl was an accident mostly from human error and inadequate technology. Orion is not so much in trying to contain the nuclear reation, but directing it. Wikipedia has some geat info on it and all the offshoot ideas.
Not only would the crew have been crushed in his ballistic spaceship, he placed the launcher in Florida well below the water table, causing a difficult and unnecessary engineering problem. Verne knew this, but didn't care.
I recommend The Teaching Company's lecture series 'Science Fiction - The Literature of Technological Imagination' by Eric S. Rabkin for anyone interested in the history and development of the science fiction genre.
First time I can use my ISP-GPS YouTube User locator, buy a plane ticket to Australia, locate your residence, wait till night, climb through your bedroom window, take off my pants, stand over your head, and perform the tea-bag maneuver to those who use school-yard vocabulary to insult those who say first...

Closely listen to an Inception dvd made before the January 8th Tucson shooting, especially around, "'Do It.'"

My desire is go on faster. We are losing a lot of time in wars and conflicts.

What if ther was an accident of the nuclear kind (like Chernobyl)? The crew'd be fucked.

Nuclear Safety technology has improved since then. I'm sure that it is more safe than you fear.

I don't think hipster smart guy is giving Jules Verne enough credit.
JV: A projectile capsule,
NASA: A capsule and a lunar module.
JV: Escape velocity 12,000yds/sec.
NASA: 11.2km/sec.
JV: Staging area south Florida.
NASA: Mid Florida.
Not bad for a scifi writer a 100yrs ago.
