Ron Paul Spaceship with broadcasting "Ron Paul for President" into space satelite

[Rhys]

http://www.ronpaulrocket.com

Just because of paulville, I want to really mess with the media's head. I'm dead serious. Here's the plan. We'll start a not for profit or whatever it takes. We'll make a small satellite that broadcasts "Ron Paul for President" into space and earth. lol

We'll launch from international waters. It's seriously not as hard as you would think.

http://www.lunar.org/docs/handbook/motors.shtml

We can use model rocket engines in multiple stages just like a soyez or saturn V. If you take this serious, it's possible to broadcast Ron Paul messages to the whole universe! I know how to do this, it's not far fetched. There's a wind tunnel just a 10 minute drive from my house even.

Someone on the forum wrote one thread about making a Paulville Community, and it was reported in the New York Times as a fact that all Paulians want to be excluded from "them".

So now, let them publish this new breaking story.
"Ron Paul supporters launch presidential space probe in efforts to scout a way to Mars.
The idea is to get as far away from us retards as possible."

Thanks for stopping by and picking up all those nice peoples!

[Rhys]

i'm going to do some calculations. I'll get back to you all on this in a week or so. call me nutz till then. it'll be cheaper then a blimp though. :)

[torchbearer]

I've actually have some model rocket engines.
and some old two stage models i built as a kid back at my parent's house.
As built you may reach 1000ft.
It also has a clear compartment for any Frogonauts you may want to include as payload.

I thought the fed clamped down on model rocket engines after 9/11.
The one's i have are old, and may not work any more. but they had decent thrust to get reletatively heavy payload a 1000ft on two stages.


what would you launch for transmission? you know how to build a transmitter?
What is terminal velocity?

[Rhys]

I haven't done that math since high school so i'd have to look it up again. but it can be done.

as for the transmitter, it could be done too. it can run on battery for a limited time and be made from radio shack parts.

we can do some level of guidance with http://opencircuitdesign.com/ help and maybe some people around the forums.

if we do that though, the military may have something to say about it being a guided missile. so probably just a trajectory shot.

we don't have to launch in the USA.

You need a 4 Million Euro Chip-in.

Or 11 Million if you want to get to orbit on an American rocket.

However it would be easier and cheaper to just get a big dish and beam the message to Vega.

[asgardshill]

If you take this serious, it's possible to broadcast Ron Paul messages to the whole universe!

If you think about it, we're already doing this. And the best part is, the MSM is paying for it.

Every TV broadcast ever made on Earth travels through space and will eventually end up being received by other intelligent civilizations (if there are any). The movie Contact portrays an excellent example of what I'm talking about.

no way. $10k max for the rocket and however much to charter a boat into international waters, or maybe an oil rig!

[Humblecowboy]

I'll loan you H.A.L. He can keep the ship on course. That is, if he doesn't sabotage it. What's for fuel and how far out you planning on putting this satelite? Is it going to be an orbiter?
I'm staying tuned to this one.

We can get all of our fuel from tap water!

a "k bottle" apears to be the biggest you can get at 5000psi. Several in delayed burns would and 3 stages would get it at least above the atmosphere. i'm aiming for zero-g, but that's 18,000mph. That's a lot of "k-bottles".

I know you are thinking of using gun powder for propulsion, and that is fine, I do not look down on that approach....
but have you considered a diet coke/mentos (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKoB0MHVBvM) propulsion system?
It may be much more cost effective.

Have you calculated how much diet coke and mentos it would take to reach 18,000 miles per hour?
Are we going for orbit?

I usually (always) take an alternate path towards a solution:

Let's take over an unused FCC NTSC RF TV channel after the HDTV cutover
(say channel 4 VHF) and use it to radiate a 24x7 Ron Paul message to the
entire planet and beyond.

We could poke a 1/4 wave length coat hanger into the RF output connector
on millions of old unused VCRs that continuously play RP's message of freedom...

[idiom]

It will be unused for about 10 minutes.

Lets just broadcast on a used one :)

Well, initial testing did not go well...

Don't worry though, we have a team of people in white lab coats working on this around the clock. The situation will be resolved.

I remember watching that launch as a kid.
Tons of schools tuned in on the launch because it was a big NASA education outreach project, and they had that teacher on board for that flight.

Imagine how effed up that was to watch. My first shuttle launch.
I do think the shuttle is top notch engineering. With the obvious weakness of having too much exposed area to falling debris on launch.

I believe the space shuttle is the most complex thing ever built by man.

Just set the fins so they don't rotate. We wouldn't want to be bombed for setting up a centrifuge...

P.S. It would require a lot less fuel if we could launch from a few thousand feet. Would tapes of McCain campaign speeches provide enough hot air to lift a launch platform, or would we have to run a hose from the Capitol? Or would we be better off un-banning George?

I'm thinking of an oil rig or a mountain top... I don't know of any mountain tops in international waters. We can't do it in America or we'll have to deal with NORAD and the FAA or whatever. Launching from a boat would be very very very hard.

Maybe we can partner up with the Lakota Nation and launch from their sovereign nation?
It may be worth checking in to.
~just a thought

Met Russell Means in D.C.
Nice guy. I'm sure his nation would allow a launch.

The Lakota Space Port.

I believe their nation covers some of the rocky mountain area, that could give us free altitude.

[Paulitical Correctness]

I said to myself, "I wonder if there's anything interesting on RPF today.."

Should Rhys contact Russell? Rhys seems to be spearheading this effort, and i'm awaiting this new website.

I guess we need to organize by skills.
Need a team to work on transmitter probe.

Need a mechanical team to develop the engine.

Need math geeks to crunch the numbers so we can develop the right size craft.

I'm assuming we are using rocket launched from pad design, and not a piggy back ride on a jet then launch. A jet launch could save on fuel requirements and weight.

If built well enough, the rocket could be fire in a similar manner as a missile.

So i guess there would need to be a steering committee to help with the overall direction of the project, ideally, each team would have one rep. on the steering committee.

Well, from the quote above, you can start to see that a project has different sections and phases.
You can organize the site that way.
Graphs are cool too. Like the ones on out-there OS sites.
they list the different parts of the project and the percentage to complete:
Like say:
Flight Path Design 35%
Craft Design Team 50%
or
Rocket Engine 15%
Probe etc.

If you aren't a graph type person, you can use visuals, but that would require some work too.

Unless we get brave and use model rocket engines, but that could get complicated.

Diet Coke and Mentos is their gift of poison to us, so we will hopefully gain their sponsorship, and really lift this rocket with the next generation D.C. rockets.

Hey, here is some info we can copy over to our site, to explain how our engines work. http://thedisgruntled.blogspot.com/2006/04/diet-coke-and-mentos-experimental.html
and here: http://www.steve********science.com/experiment/00000109

Question is... can we isolate what is causing the reaction?
Or, will we just grind the mentos down into a power, or maybe solidify it, and build the engine similar to the Hydrogen Oxygen mixture engines, but instead. on one side you have diet coke, and on the other Mentos, and then just a regulator on the reaction rate.
forcing the explosive power of each engine to a tight bottleneck to increase thrust.

Though i'm thinking model rocket engines, and a missile type launch from an aircraft would be a good idea too.

Let's create a lot of new terms too.
We are creating the worlds first Rapid Carbonic Engine (the R.C.E.)
-you heard it from me first.

Operation ROCKET fits the bill.
Nice work NEPARevolution. You are now the father of this historic project.

I nominate Operation ROCKET as the project name.

Second?

Seconded

[ClockwiseSpark]

I suggest we look into pressure gas engine designs to get more bang for our buck.

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/3930744.html

Edit: This will still use the mentos and diet coke, but if it's combined in a pressurized chamber we'll get more power from it.

[NEPA_Revolution]

Now please inform the neo-con bloggers we intend to begin operation ROCKET as soon as possible and shoot a mentos and coke rocket out of the Lakota Republic and into space broadcasting our message of freedom and limited government.

Also we will need a chip in for the cost of coke and mentos... I mean fuel.

[spacehabitats]

I don't know if anyone has noticed that my username has something about space in it.
I know this is "off topic" but I really DO think that the ultimate frontier has a lot to offer mankind with respect to insuring individual liberty for all time.

Once humanity has established an extraterrestrial civilization that is capable of creating independent, self-sustaining, self-replicating space habitats, we will have virtually insured that no one tyrannical government could EVER enslave all of mankind.

Don't buy the Sci-Fi dystopia versions of space colonists living in dank, metallic dungeons with recycled air that has to be shipped up from earth. That is as stupid and unrealistic as thinking that the American pioneers would forever live in prefab houses shipped overseas from England.

Actually, I think that version of space development is what They have consciously cultivated (in popular culture, academia, and most especially that bloated bureaucracy called NASA) in order to squelch our pioneering spirit. After all, what could be less in keeping with the New World Order than a bunch of space-faring libertarians rendering this little speck of a planet irrelevant.

If we have the guts and vision of our founding fathers our great-grandchildren could be living here and thumbing their noses at King Bush the VII.:)

I can donate some Rocket Science. I've done planetary liftoff physics simulations, and its been while, but I used to do model rockets all the time...

And we should have a loop of the audio-book broadcasting, rather than a single "Ron Paul" message. Digital media doesn't add much to the overall weight. Can we coordinate with the publisher to allow the re-broadcast.

No, those guys are actually serious. :eek:

We'd be creating our own air from the chemical reaction.
Question, since mentos are a solid, technically, we could carry more air as a solid than as just air compressed. right?

I could actually seeing that work, it just depends on how much thrust you could get per engine.

But of course, of any serious discussion about the proper role of governemnt, or monetary policy, or noninterventionism, not a word. I think I may be feeling a wee bit bitter today, sorry 'bout that.

We would have to increase the fuel by a significant amount, perhaps a droptank for an orbit of the moon. It can be done, though we'll have to add some spray paint to the payload, not to mention the delivery system.

I always thought the ending was disheartening...

How I took this is that when he didn't Love Big Brother, when he was doing what he wanted, he was a defeatist, and wasn't Happy. Once he had been through Room 101, and was presented with defeat, he became Happy.

The lesson is to live happily, regardless of situation, no matter if you love Big Brother or not. You rule your own life, and have the choice to either be beat down by poor environment, or to work with what you have. If you let the hate of your situation consume you, you will never be happy. Unless, of course, you also have an appointment in Room 101.

What I got out of it... is the Big Brother will eventually win. That was his prediction.
There would be a few of us left one day who would still long for freedom.. who will still not submit... but eventually, we will tire... and will fall into the collective group.

I don't disagree, I was just exploring another theme. The Big Brother aspect of the story is what we should be fighting against, for sure. But in 1984 "Big Brother" was the background, the environment. Of course 'it' wasn't going to change, the character changed.

In our story (the non-fiction we're writing as we live), Big Brother is the "bad guy" we're fighting against. Our conflict is external, and we can win this fight as we enjoy our lives.

Impossible. Don't get your hopes up. It would burn up in the atmosphere. The type of equipment and funds you would need to build such a rocket would be in the millions... Millions. If not, billions. Anything your planning would simply burn up in the atmosphere. It just can't be done.

You don't know much about Rocket Science, do you?

We can lift a payload of a few pounds to orbit levels (not yet factoring in maintaining orbit) with fuel costs on the order of 1000s of Fed Reserve Note$, not Millions or Billions.

And "Burning Up In The Atmosphere" only happens on re-entry, and we're not worrying about re-entry.
