Rockets are pieces of crap. Maintainable commonplace safe spaceflight will not happen with rockets. Travel and commerce throughout the solar system will not occur with rockets. Rockets are far too expensive, consume far too many resources, and require obscene levels of high tech manpower to coordinate. Compare this to aviation and naval industries which have flourished. Explosions are not a reasonable form of transportation. Man up to it. ]]>Jul 30th 2010 2:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/

Oh yeah, and as for "Explosions are not a reasonable form of transportation. Man up to it."... sure they are, that's basically what powers all combustion engines (e.g. like almost every car on the road other than the few pure electrics).]]>Jul 30th 2010 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/
I don't disagree, but this statement...

"Explosions are not a reasonable form of transportation."

made me think of a quote I heard from the time the internal combustion engine was edging out steam cars. The steam car salesmen called them "Explosion" engines to emphasis that they were dangerous, and steam was safe. As for explosions not being a reasonable form of transportation, the internal combustion engine is still doing pretty good.]]>Jul 30th 2010 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/

Rockets will always have a role. They're the best and only solution for getting up there.

It takes extreme amounts of energy to get up into space. There's no way around it. Rockets are best.]]>Jul 30th 2010 4:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/
Small explosions inside a combustion chamber is a world away from a vehicle where propulsion is derived solely and directly from an explosion. Rockets are more fuel than vehicle. How much mass of a car/truck/airplane is fuel and how much mass is the vehicle itself. The explosion in an combustion engine is made far more efficient through compression and power transfers into gears. Imagine if your car was the size of a bus, you only had two seats, and you had to carry 2000 gallons of fuel to make a one hour trip. That's a rocket. Rockets are not going to get us true spaceflight.
Rockets need to be replaced, nobody at NASA seems to be serious about a real space program. It's a bunch of grown up highschool kids from rocket club masturbating to gigantic model rockets. The fact rockets are relativistic forms of travel sure doesn't help things either, this is a problem even within our small solar system, forget about interstellar travel. ]]>Jul 30th 2010 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/30/rocket-project-team-successfully-launches-a-vaio-into-the-strato/
Rockets don't function by explosion.

They rapidly burn fuel in a controlled fashion to achieve a high speed exhaust stream.
