Topic: Science
You are invited to read my Ph.D dissertation at the University of Texas at Austin Department of Aerospace Engineering, called "The Conceptual Design of a Constellation Class Starship." It is now available as an ebook or as an bound 8.5 x 11 volume at:
LuLu.Com
The ebook is FREE and the 225 page document is only $9.30.
There is an excerpt at this website, outlining the Starship design. The rest of the dissertation is devoted to more engineering applications, and to developing a solid theoretical basis for everything. All the theory is based on the famous Three Body Problem of Celestial Mechanics; so this is not a fantasy or scifi project. Indeed, there is lots of math in the project, but also 150+ lavish illustrations that make the whole thing easy to follow and understand.
