Project Title:

BLAST OFF...TO A MORE COST EFFECTIVE SPACE TRAVEL!!

The idea of man in space has become a top priority in many minds. The major concerns are how, when, and the price tag of it all. While men have reached space, space travel as a cost effective form has elluded us.

By discovering a more productive source of energy, we plan to launch a shuttle into space. We hope to determine which fuel is best and will cost less. Taking into account wind speed, climate, and weather disturbances, our simulation will output results of the effectiveness of each trial.

Hopefully the results will be intrepreted into useful and valid information that will apply to our day. It could be the start of revolutionary space travel. The world will change as we know it.
