February?! My last art posted was four months ago!?!
Jeez that's not very good. Well I've finally put up a new one, titled 'Midnight Voyage'
regulus36.deviantart.com/art/M… it's been in the works for a while, but i finally found some time to finish it up. And I'm a complete slacker when it comes to replying to comments apparently
but I do read and appreciate them - thanks!
In the future look for my art portraying different stages of the Startram project. In a nutshell, Startram is a system to use MagLev technology to launch stuff into space. You can read more on their website
www.startram.com/ and check out the forum:
startramfans.com/ With an initial investment, this could turn into a low cost alternative to current rocket tech. As it is now, it costs something like $20 million US to put someone on the ISS, and almost $10,000 just to get a kilogram into low Earth orbit. With Startram, the costs of electrical energy to reach orbital speed is less than $1 a kilogram, and you basically just have to accelerate it and away it goes (ok it's a little more complicated, but it's probably safer than riding a pillar of fire into the sky
). Yes it takes a large initial investment and there will be pitfalls, but it just might be worth it to get humanity on the road to the stars.
On a side note, we're still working on the Zodiac project
