Well my biggest nitpick is that all the supplements were never integrated in the basic bookMy biggest nit pick is that it's not in print any more!

Yeah, the author has really been lazy since the 4th edition. He keeps claiming he's working on it, but you never see any results.My biggest nit pick is that it's not in print any more!
Order from ASP Rocketry, ARA Press, or eRockets.bizhow does one get the supplements? I have the 3rd edition.
5th Edition release day will be an international holiday for rocketeers.Yeah, the author has really been lazy since the 4th edition. He keeps claiming he's working on it, but you never see any results.
I don't recall exactly anymore. I took a few minutes to check out a couple of changes I recall making, it it turns out I had done them before the 3rd edition. So I'm not sure if there are any changes in actual content.I have #3. Does anyone know what the differences may be?

That's new to me! I did check my source document and it's supposed to be 2000.25, which you probably guessed.Was grabbing some space shuttle data today and the Xb for the nozzle of the SRB is 1000.25, the aft of the skirt is at 1930.637. page 292. Sorry if this has been caught above already, remembered this thread and didn't have time to read all post.
The plan is to get it done before the total solar eclipse...Is there any projected publication date for the 5th ed. ?
Thanks for the confirmation.That's new to me! I did check my source document and it's supposed to be 2000.25, which you probably guessed.

...of 2017
I promise to have it by the next total solar eclipse in the lower 48 states.
That's great to hear, Peter. Looking forward to the fruits of all your hard work.That is to say that I'm chugging along again.
On the bright side, I've spent some quality time on the layout. I'm starting with the Gunpowder era, lifted mostly from "The First Seven Centuries of Rocketry" and am and now in the German rocketry section, lifting from Spaceflight Dreamers, WW II rocketry, and V-2 stuff. I'm just starting to assemble new material on a couple of rockets (Nebelwerfer and 8 cm aircraft rocket) tthat I haven't published elsewhere.

Bear in mind that this plan generates a tremendously thick book. Wonderful if I can pull it off, but kind of expensive to print. I'm talking 2 inches thick or more.Is the plan to integrate all the supplements into the new edition?
Last time I bought a copy, we ended up building a massive Delta III. Your book was the genesis of that project - my wife was flipping through, saw that and said "That's cool"

Is printing it as two one-inch volumes a viable option?Bear in mind that this plan generates a tremendously thick book. Wonderful if I can pull it off, but kind of expensive to print. I'm talking 2 inches thick or more.

Absolutely. I hate not being able to zoom in and see details. Especially if the called out dimensions are incomplete and I'm forced to scale the drawing.But in the digital publishing future, rocket builders will appreciate the vector format. IMHO.
Over and over.Cool books. Thanks for taking up the effort to update them, Mr. Alway.
Atlas Able, per chance?????Nope, nothing on ATACMS. I've only been actively looking for pre-1970 missiles, and that's not on my list.
