New lifter design in progress

[onthecuttingedge2005]

The Next Generation Spaceship would be made entirely or 99.999% out of Aerogel including new generation circuitry and panels. the Tritium Power Generator would also be made of Aerogel with different properties.

did you know that if you had a house made entirely of Aerogel you could heat your entire house with one single candle! Amazing!

Yes, I'm aware of the alien-like insulation properties that can be attained. Just unaware of any aerogels with usable structural integrity.
The aerogel house would need to be kept in place well though, as it could double as a balloon with the slightest of breezes.

I suppose having a lightweight craft is useful in most coditions, except one : mid-air collisions. Hitting a regulation sized duck upon launch or re-entry would send you quite a ways adrift...
I'd love to be able to go somewhere to handle a collection of aerogels. Hard to start designing an application for them when it's all just wiki pages and low resulotion lab pictures.
