My job sucks so bad that I have a lot of time to let my mind wander.
Today it started wo(a)ndering about staging.
Specifically, it wondered if there is a method of staging wherein the first stage has, say 5, engines like the Saturn V.
Would there be any use for lighting the center one and two opposite each other, then at burnout, light the other two.
Kind of like two stages in one.
You could even drop the first stage and do it again in a second stage.
In this wonderfully detailed illistration, light engines 1, 3, & 5.
Then light 2 & 4 for the second act.
1 . 2
. 3 .
4 . 5
periods are there for spacing purposes only
Lame question maybe, but somewhere my mind went while driving a fork lift at high speeds carrying glass containers of highly toxic chemicals on a broken pallet over a bumpy road upwind of a preschool/retirement home.
Not really, I work at a K-Mart, which is why I have LOTS of time to think.
Thanks for your time,
Greg
