    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    Yes, Space Voyager editor Wendy Graham's Tom Smith interview still makes interesting reading. It was quoted extensively in his obituary in the Telegraph.

    ...being avaliable for interview. Like many here I'm soo looking forward to this previously unresearched project coming to fruition With regard further works in similar vein, personally I'd love to see a companion volume on MUSTARD. with possibly a later one on RAL. Skylon completing the set :)

    SpaceX Falcon Heavy

    ...Probably most immediately relevant part: Also interesting: ULA CEO stopped by to promise that Vulcan would fly before 2020, to which Elon answered by promising to eat his hat with a side order of mustard if "that rocket flies national security payload before 2023".

    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    ...another look in the messages I read yours comment about my work (sorry for not reading and answering it before). Once again, thank you very much for your words. ;) :D By the way! I posted a wallpaper (I did it) related to the Mustard - I hope you enjoy (free to download)...

    BAC Multi-Unit Space Transport and Recovery Device (MUSTARD)

    Thanks Hesham, that's the BAC MUSTARD - Multi-Unit Space Transport and Recovery Device. One of my favourite space projects. More info can be found at http://www.unrealaircraft.com/wings/bac_mustard.php and http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Launchpad/6133/60planes.html. Sadly, not much...

    General Dynamics Triamese (1968)

    Bottom line: symmetrical bimese or trimese - MUSTARD, Triamese - only works in Hazegrayart stupendous CGI. In the real world, doesn't works very well. What works is - trimese with a second stage (Delta IV is an expendable variant, F9 is reusable, minus the second stage). - "slightly asymetrical...

    What's Mustard Plaster?

    I hear some pilots get a little problem with that from survival suits but a 'mustard plaster' there could be an issue. While assigned as unit medic I had a member (apparent why I used this word soon) of my regiment complain of a 'groin strain'. I gave him some 'deep heat' cream to apply to...

    ROTFLMAO Oh boy, a childhood dream come true: a millionaire eating his hat, just like Scrooge McDuck rivals, either Glomgold or Rockerduck. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/nonciclopedia/images/5/5c/Rockerduck_si_mangia_la_bombetta.png/revision/latest?cb=20130704164559...

    Boeing F-47 Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD)

    View: https://x.com/ValerieInsinna/status/1903102332776108123 Something is definitely going on behind closed doors. Boeing's stock jumped on the 18th while LM began to drop, and today, Boeing is skyrocketing. I may be completely uttering nonsense here, so apologies, just thinking out loud with...

    Johhny Walker anyone?

    I remember seeing footage of an anti tank system proposal in the 80's that did something like that, the idea was it would bounce around in a WP tank formation until it hit something hard then explode, I think it was part of the Assault Breaker idea.

    BAC Multi-Unit Space Transport and Recovery Device (MUSTARD)

    ...US Space Shuttle before the Challenger disaster put paid to our plans. Towards the end of the programme, there was a segment about the BAC Mustard and this included an interesting interview with Tom Smith (the documentary also contained an interview with Geoffrey Pardoe about Blue Streak). I...

    British Secret Projects 5: Britain's Space Shuttle by Dan Sharp

    ...over the years but now have this book that has more information than I thought could have possibly survived over the years. I hadn't realised that there so many versions of Mustard let alone all the other Aerospace Transporters studied by BAC. Hope Dan Sharp is proud of his book, he ought to be!

    Lycoming R-7755 Powered Aircraft?

    One should remember that the H-4 was supposed to be a partial alternate to the use of conventional ships since Allied shipping in the Atlantic Ocean was suffering heavy losses to German U-boats at the time. Therefore a comparison to other aircraft might be misplaced. Perhaps a comparison to...

    Protector drone

    ...in to the idea of the U.K sticking with the GA product line. That said, is the Predator/Reaper/Guardian line future proofed enough for a 2018 timeframe? If the system is going to replace faster platforms like Sentinal and Tornado in the counter terrorism mission, does the Reaper cut the mustard?

    BAC Multi-Unit Space Transport and Recovery Device (MUSTARD)

    The British Interplanetary Society's November issue of Spaceflight (Vol 58 No 11) has an article on MUSTARD by Daniel Sharp that can be read as a preview. Six pages crammed with detail, some old and new illustrations promising a fascinating book. Among the reasons for the cancellation were the...

    Hitler orders advanced intercontinental bomber projects into production to carry on his war plan for attacking Manhattan

    ...by 1943, it would be very hard for U-boats to close enough with US coastline. Secondly, after such attack, USAAF and RAF would start to use mustard gas indiscriminately over Germany. They may not have such chemical sophisication, but they have supplies and means to deliver. And USSR have...

    Suborbital refuelling

    Amid SSTOs and RLVs and TSTO that concept closely relates to bimese / trimese on one side (Mustard, Triamese, Delta IV Heavy, Falcon Heavy), and OTRAG / Microcosm - asparagus staging, on the other. Incidentally, I never claimed this system would throw 60 years of rocketry under a bus. It is...
