Reliant Robin Rocket Game
- #3
Also, they knew it wouldn't separate, something about a shear pin that wouldn't be delivered on time. Made a nice boom eh?
The explosion they showed wasn't actually caused by the shuttle--it was another clip that they spliced in.

So, given an ejection seat and a parachute, how many of you would ride the Reliant Robin? I probably would, given the two things mentioned above.

Given that a person on board to operate a mechanical linkage would've probably succeeded in separating the Robin from the tank, I would totally do it.

Not a chance it'd actually fly in any meaningful way without significantly larger wings more properly designed for this type of flight regime. I think flying on this would be a one way ticket out of this world, as it were.
Ejection seat and a parachute--Top Gear has already fitted cars with ejection seats in the past, so that seems perfectly doable to me.

I wouldn't... I would have some doubts that this monstrosity would attempt snapping at me when I try to bail out.

I'm not very good at complex meshes and at coding the aerodynamics, so I can't do the Robin, but I can do the stack as a velcro rocket.
To me it looks that the Robin and the SRBs have no engines (maybe some smoke to make it look better, I see some coming out of the SRBs),
and that six of these are on the External Tank: http://www.contrailrockets.com/Products/prod05.htm
I'm pretty sure that the SRBs had engines in them, if you watch the whole video. The Robin itself did not have engines that were used during the ascent.
