 My GOD that is what duct tape is for!
 You must think everything comes from a FACTORY already assembled.
 HOW THE FUCK does the FACTORY make the stuff,if not from hundreds of
parts.
 You can build your own home,rent a apartment or buy a condo to live
 in, why  can't I have the same choice in space?

 Things welded together is the strongest way of joining things and
electric spot welding aluminum sounds like it would work in space.
 Remember air pressure is about 5 PSI not 15 PSI on earth.

  Money is a measure of talent not value... How much money is 
a loving family or a good friend or a life worth. I don't make much
money does that mean I have NO value in designing spacecraft?
I am working on a nice CPU design, just because I cant make money
from it is worth less? What is the price of knowledge?

It is a real pain that one has to fight the social/economic system
to get launch costs down.

Ben.
PS I don't agree with the current social / economic system we live
in, nothing personal with my sharp remarks.
