How does a rocket navigate in space? 
  Once a rocket or is in space (e.g. on its way to mars), how does it know where it is in relation to its pre-programmed route? There is no GPS in space.

Ares I launch re-cycling? 
  One of the advantages of the Ares IX test seems to be an easier ability to re-cycle the countdown on holds. However, a lot of what was done for the Ares IX test is not representative of the actual manned Ares I. When you add the liquid fueled upper stage and the Orion capsule systems how easily will the launch countdown re-cycling be? And what will be the countdown... more »

ROTON type engines and liquid monopropellants 
  I was just thinking about monopropellants. Most have low ISPs compare to bi-propelleants but can be very dense. ie Peroxide/Alcohol mixes for example. Since ROTON type engines are self-pressuring, one can build a system with very light weight tanks and high expansion ratio engines. Could the mass ratios of such a design lead to a reasonable TSTO rocket?... more »

Rockets of ice? (ALICE) 
  [link] oxidizers.html A frozen slurry of nano-sized aluminum powder and water ice makes a pretty fair rocket. Whoda thunk it?
