| + | Specs for The Orange Ship\\ | ||
| + | .\\ | ||
| + | * This ship is a 100% organic, genetically modified fruit, taking 1 year to grow in a hydroponics field. Does not require any alterations to fly. Man-made escape pod is inserted into the ship in case of emergency. \\ | ||
| + | * This ship is single usage. It burns out after 24 hours of usage. Travel creates a burnt, hard heat-resistant shell.\\ | ||
| + | * Propulsion is the back of the ship igniting/burning, like rocket fuel. Landing requires letting the ship burn out (24 hours), a body of water to fall into, and for the front of the ship to ignite (aka reverse-booster) to stop acceleration. Landing can occur without water, but is dangerous, using front-boosters to hover. Landing is messy and crew can board the escape ship which floats. \\ | ||
| + | * Orange ship is 5,000 Square Feet by 5,000 Square Feet (Small Warehouse Size). \\ | ||
| + | * Ship has no warp drive, but it's escape pod does.\\ | ||
| + | * Non-Organic Metal Escape pod is shaped like a tooth pick, with a central hinge, so it can fold into a "V" shape. Normal mode is V shape, and when it activates warp mode, it makes a small portal "black hole" and must fold out straight like a toothpick to fit inside the portal. During warp transportation, ship is badly damaged and is destroyed 2% of the time. \\ | ||
| + | * Normally the orange ship has no warp travel, but in rare situations, the escape ship can be destroyed, opening a portal big enough for the orange ship, 15% of the time. \\ | ||
| + | * Ship is stocked with 1 year of support and food, for 20 people. Optional additional food is in the heart of the ship, obviously being modified orange peel, which isn't very appetizing. \\ | ||
| + | * Ship contains 100 seeds, each 1 foot by 1 foot, for planting new ships, if in good soil. Escape pods are metallic and cannot be grown. There is an organic escape pod project in early stages that is highly dangerous. \\ | ||
| + | * Escape pods are generally experimental, each including unique new features and dangers. \\ | ||
| + | * Goal of novel is to promote Biblical truths, Christian Outreach, explore space, dimensions, oceans, planets, prevent human disasters, promote open source programming (Ubuntu Linux), and for the characters to develop a far better orange ship and way of life.\\ | ||
| + | * Crew of the orange ship are Christians escaping end-of-the-world imprisonment, on/around a future Earth that has grown many times larger and requires high-speed travel. \\ | ||
| + | * Escape pod is generally powered by coiled springs, pushing an electric generator, propelling ions into the air, using a NASA Ion Engine. Alternative pod power includes launching micro-springs into space, pushing the ship, and the springs immediately decompose into a dust trail. \\ | ||
