Abstract

Falcon Heavy and New Glenn will avail many possible permutations of payload, number of flights and payloads (even up to payload of 114,000 lbs to Moon).  Exactly one century after building the First Transcontinental Railroad in 6 years, we built Saturn V as transportation to the Moon in almost the same time. Now half a century later, it is time to build a railroad with exit ramps to Moon, Mars and other planets/satellites. It can also be done in almost the same time span.  This Webinar will explain the role of Dr. Kothari's company in building such payload delivery.
