Falcon 1 finally claws way into space

Mike Richards

Falcon 1 - useful payload 640kg; hmmm.... 

What does a Reliant Robin weigh?

Kazriko Redclaw

The weight of an unladen robin 

According to this site here, http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=108922 the Robin weighs about 400kg.

If you happened to spend the 7 million USD to put one in space, it'd definitely be the fastest Reliant Robin ever.

I think Mike has been watching too much top gear

Mark Leaver

Robin Shuttle 

Definitely too much Top Gear...

But hell it was a funny show that one.

Mike Richards

It's a very educational show ;) 

In my defence, I'd like to point out that the hail dents that have grounded Shuttle Atlantis wouldn't have stopped an orbital Reliant Robin.
