RRC Rocketry Discussion

[Valles]

I had a whole detailed explanation of why and what I'm planning to do with rocketry.

And deleted it, because I want to watch people go "HOLY-!" when I actually deploy them.

Which isn't likely to be until the mid-Twenties at the earliest; I figure creating workable liquid fuels will be easier than getting quality control of early solid fuel designs to the point that'd allow what I have in mind.

The Ultimate Goal of the RRC Research Project.  The Problem is the System still isnt capable of being carried on a single mule as each missles weighs 129 Lbs.

September 16, 2009: Israel has developed an artillery system similar to the new (and more widely publicized) U.S. "NetFires" system. The Israeli "Jumper" puts eight missiles, and a control unit in a nine (3x3) cell box measuring 1.4x1.4x2 meters tall (4.3x4.3x6.2 feet) cargo type container. Each 129 pound (63 kg), 150mm guided missile is nearly six feet (1.8m) long and has a range of 50 kilometers. The missile uses GPS and laser seeker for guidance.
