  1. It's only half true actually. Shuttle was designed so it's cargo bay could hold nuclear missiles and the vehicle itself was designed to fly once in 1-2 weeks the whole year. In that case space shipping cost is much lesser. Lesser than a convenient rocket. However by the time of completion neither the government nor private companies could not provide such amount of "missions" because there were tremendous cut to the budget and new nuclear ballistic rockets were available. So there was no real need for a shuttle or russian clone. The people overestimated the market, it's one of the reasons that holds space exploration in the lower Earth orbit since the end of 60's. Look at russians - they fly a modification of R-7! It's from 60's!!!!!!!
  2. The steering mechanism hurts my eyes The color scheme however reminds me of these guys
  3. I can confirm. This is mostly GREY parts problem. I never broke a lego part like gear, beam or axle, however I have lots of grey bushings, connectors, cardan joints that just decayed to this state. Every time I order smth from bricklink I add a bunch of those, because they WILL break eventually.
  4. Well do you know the saying : "A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor" ? I hope it's easier to choose now.
  5. Probably because they look like cylinders and they fit.
  6. Oh my god! Look at those oranges! And is that a banana back there? Awesome! Seriously - great truck you got there, any description? Like functions, weight, size, part count? Maybe some inner mechanics view?
  7. Can't wait to see the speed of this truck!
  8. The truck is cool and I like your blog background!
  9. That would be too hot and too quick and too compact. One would have to wait until it expands and cools enough.
  10. I see teasing becomes more and more popular
