Cedrics in Space

Postby kurohinge1 » Wed Dec 22, 2004 12:16 pm

This is a 1960 Nissan "Cedric"
Image

It weighs 1,180 kilograms.

The Cedric is important in linking the following story to Japan ...

Image

... Boeing's new Delta IV Heavy was set to blast off from Cape Canaveral around 6am, Tokyo time.

The novelty of the Delta IV Heavy ... is that it uses three identical rockets bolted side by side. The concept ... cuts the cost of launching large spacecraft by making big rockets as simple as possible.

The initial version of Delta IV Heavy can put [the equivalent of 18 Nissan Cedrics] into the low Earth orbits ..., hurl [8 Cedrics] to the moon or [6 Cedrics] to Mars or Venus.

...The design is so simple that if a bigger rocket is needed, all Boeing has to do is strap on another core booster.
