niart17 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Welcome everyone! You have wondered into the Nasa group build. The theme is Nasa; Two Degrees of Separation. It starts March 1st and last 6 months. The object is to build any model that can be connected to NASA. It doesn't have to be a space craft or even an aircraft as long as there is a connection to NASA. The hosts are K2Pete and myself along with occasional help from Jay Chladek. We ask that you haven't completed more than 25% of the model before the March 1st start date. For any obscure references to Nasa, please get prior approval. So let's get those builds going. There will be other announcements as the build goes on so check back often. Thanks, Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Would White Knight Two and Space Ship Two be okay? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 As I understand it, those are not connected to any NASA projects and are completely commercial ventures. I believe they were proposed to NASA but beyond that I'm not familiar with any NASA ties. If I am wrong about that, and you can show the connection to NASA then let me know.

eraucubsfan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I was curious too, so it appears the only connection I can find is virgin providing charter flights for nasa Link here a bit of a stretch, looking for a reason to build the revell kit :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 That link doesn't work for me. I will consult with Pete and Jay and get back with you. I would think if they'd entered into a contract with NASA of any kind, then it would qualify. Let me get back to you on this. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Link Hopefully this works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niart17 Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) Well, that gets my vote for a yes then. The only drawback argument I could see maybe from someone would be because I assume the flights haven't taken place yet. But to me, a contract is a connection to NASA. If anyone has a strong objection...well :monkeydance:/> , I think you're ok. Bill p.s., I would request that you not only link that story in your build thread but also perhaps cut and paste a bit of it as well so people can see that you're building based on that connection to NASA. Just so there isn't any whining. Thanks. Edited April 11, 2014 by niart17 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks Bill If there is any issue no big deal Thanks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
