The disappointment I will feel if the news is not good increases as the square of the time I have to wait. I hope the news comes out before I turn suicidal.
Come on Dr. Nebel, just drop an sideways coded inference for us to speculate on!!!

...way i look at it if Rnebel & co. had BAD RESULTS we would have been informed by now, otherwise(good results) & they`re putting it off for some reason or other.. maybe they still gotta work on a pitch..? Maybe there`s a right time.. etcMSimon wrote:I have heard something directly from Rick recently.
The people putting up the money will make an announcement when they are ready to make one.
I hope that helps.
If the review of WB7 turned out nothing, then what purpose would waiting to release results serve? It does not make sense that way
I think you have taken me the wrong way.
The people who paid for the experiment (WB-7) will announce the results in their own good time.
And I have absolutely no idea when that will be. No inside info. Not even a glimmer of a hint.

Engineering is the art of making what you want from what you can get at a profit.
In fact we still don't know that there will ever be an announcement, do we? But it is not so much about what the announcement would be, but more about the policy of the funding group. And there is still a funding group that is still funding, that much seems clear.
That is, Dr. Nebel and EMC2 still have a contract, or a new contract.

I think the contract expired on 22 Sept IIRC. It was posted here by Rick.Aero wrote:In fact we still don't know that there will ever be an announcement, do we?

There has been no announcement of further funding.

Crazy idea, and tell me if it has been tried already. But ONR does have a "Contact us" page. Also with some digging there are a couple promising "points of contact" whose areas could be related to the BFR.
http://www.onr.navy.mil/sci_tech/33/333/default.asp (naval power systems, platform/hull forms, and ship systems and systems integration.)
and/or
http://www.onr.navy.mil/media/poc/default.asp?pocid=184 (S&T Focus Area - Power and Energy)
I doubt you'd get details but maybe they might know an exact release date, or perhaps a general one. Though I don't know if they would reply to me -- I'm not one of you damnable yanks

I would not say that if I were not optimistic. What do you thinkOn Sep 24, rnebel wrote:If p-B11 works, 5 years isn't unrealistic. The engineering on these systems isn't all that bad. Getting away from D-T makes it a lot easier.
