The (air)ship structures are designed with specifically directional stress loading.
Impinging load points on the corners or in the middle will wad it up like tinfoil in seconds.

So much extra triangulation structure will need to be added, might as well build a submarine.

They should colab with SeaGate.
They are great at making light subs.

If it lands in my back yard, I believe it becomes my property, so I'm OK with that. Landing on the house, well probably not so much.

I wouldn't feel comfortable being on the 50th launch.
Now you can build anything you like. I suppose. Don't get the why.

I don't think that's true. Someone crashes their car onto your property, you don't have a totalled car.

OMG… this is what happens when report has been dead, so if you need to report PM me direct instead of actually reporting.

WARNING TO ALL: If you gonna debate, debate like an adult & not like my 7-yo nephew. No need to do pointless jabbing, taunting or calling pointless names. From this post on, idc if you’re old member or new member, if you break this rule, I WILL get you an early holiday leave (for 1 month).

So I would recommend not coming to this thread drunk.

Getting the site back to a working condition would be appreciated greatly.

Almost X-mas ...
