I just wanted to thank markkoelsch for his continued maintenance and running of thrustcurve.org. It was a huge help with some stuff I have been working on.
I don't, just haven't used his stuff as recently...let's just say I spent yesterday on ThrustCurve pulling propellant weight info.Don't forget John Coker!
The Thrustcurve website is his stuff!I don't, just haven't used his stuff as recently...let's just say I spent yesterday on ThrustCurve pulling propellant weight info.

Steve, I knew that, but I doubt anyone else did.And I'm still paying annual rent on the server where Rocketry Planet is stored, but because I don't have time to rebuild it, I have the domain pointed elsewhere.

Thank you. I appreciate it.I care, and would be willing to help after my own limited fashion. The discussions that went on there could be extremely valuable for research if only search engines could index them, even if solely static.
For instance, I'd bet I could dig up at least two more threads on 18mm E/F motors. IA/RV/RR tubers. Hybrids galore. Etc.
.. add me to that this list. I was an RP member before joining here. I learned a lot in those years.Yeah, I'm not even sure anybody cares besides you, Brad, and me.
I did too! [emoji1].. add me to that this list. I was an RP member before joining here. I learned a lot in those years.
Yes all, thanks. I did not mean to make it sound as negative as it may have come off. Made some really good friends and learned a bunch too. I mention it as an explanation for those not aware of what I had been involved in, and perhaps as a slight cautionary tale.I did too! [emoji1]
Thanks!
Aaron,I surely do miss Darrel and RP. Lots of good memories.

No need to apologize for anything. I wonder if it would be good to get a data dump off the server and then just retire it. Preserve the data but not pay to keep the hardware. It was old when I shipped it to Darrel.Aaron,
I apologize for leaving you off the list of people who I know would care. I suspect Lucas would also.
I think that the hosting company moved the image from the server you shipped to them a few years ago. It's now on their server.No need to apologize for anything.

Its pretty cool how far Thrustcurve has come. Back when I was flying more often, I could just look at a rocket and tell you what motors to use. Now that I launch only once or twice a year, I have to look stuff up and one of the places I always hit is thrustcurve. Good job Mark and John.

Me too- sorry.Aaron,

Hi Aaron, the server was virtualized as I understand it. The server had become pretty unstable hence the conversion.No need to apologize for anything.
