If we are to use claimed figures

34 miles in altitude is only 0.4% of the Earth's diameter

On a tangent though

I know a bit about rocketry.

At the least, Astronautics.

The first thing you should do is a cost analysis of potential experiments

I have a PhD. you don't have to tell me that Troll

leave

That is important indeed.

You can’t just call people you don’t like a troll

@Thinky so I would prefer balloons bcs of the flexbility

for sensors

and time

You’re the only one on here who even calls me a troll

and sampling

It is flexible, but it also lacks the weather versatility of rocketry.

everyone knows you're a troll @RadRhys

See the USS Shenandoah

they just dont' tell you in your face like me

A bit of apples to oranges, but the message holds true

I think Rad is correct about cost analysis being incredibly important

anyway, it's better than nothing.

I do not incite reactions from people

It was always the first thing we did, ever before getting to the design phase

esp if we're talking sub 7 figures

budget

PDR was after the first stages of design.

Even NASA has to do an analysis

I have written probably 50 business cases for investments

this is nothing

I know how to do it

Absolutely they do.

I've secured funding for many startups

I haven't interacted with NASA myself

Cool, all I said is THATS the first thing to do

and research grants

But I have with BO

And Nanoracks

I will approach private investors. not govts/space agencies

What are some of the agencies you go to grants for

If no one's opposed, I would like to post a photo, but only for a brief moment.
