Space Travel -- amazing science page! With extra science!

I explained my space-travel dillema to my housemate [livejournal.com profile] madalchemist, and he sent me a link to Atomic Rocket, which is a whole bunch of stuff about STL, FTL, weapons, propulsion, and you named it, all aimed at Sci-Fi authors.

Granted, the page is dedicated to Heinlein and refers to him frequently, but since it's in the context of "appreciating a modicum of accuracy in the physical sciences" and not "Having the faintest clue how people and societies work", I'm willing to overlook the Heinlein-fanning.

I'd never shown you Atomic Rocket before? How did that happen? I love that site.

Especially since, yeah, it sticks to Heinlein's strong points and stays away from the areas where he fails horribly.

Hey, this made me think of you. I imagine you can see why.
