Talk:General Dynamics Nexus

Copy pasta
FWIW, this Amazon advertisement for a book published by Betascript Publishing used the text of this article word for word. I have no idea how it can be 142 pages long. I then noticed most of the wikipedia text was itself a word for word copy from NASA, which had the exact same text as astronautix.com. I removed it as Wikipedia should not just copy text like that. -84user (talk) 01:08, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * NASA content is not copyrighted so Wikipedia can use that ? - Rod57 (talk) 21:30, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Convair ?
calls it Convair NEXUS. - Was it Convair in 1963/4 ? Was Convair a division of GD ? - Rod57 (talk) 21:31, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Can we say why it wasn't built ?
Was NASA not interested ? or did it require some leap in engine technology ? - Rod57 (talk) 10:36, 20 November 2020 (UTC)

How would it avoid water damage
How many parachutes, and how big ? Would it use flotation devices ? Would it land engines down ? - Rod57 (talk) 01:26, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Looking at the diagram - it shows flaps (as well as parachutes?) and the retrorockets are on the top, so it splashes down upside-down. - Rod57 (talk) 10:56, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
