With NASA's plans to retire it's aging Space Shuttle fleet in mind, a group of enterprising (and just a tad “redneck”) investors from Riegelwood, North Carolina are exploring alternative methods of getting freight and supplies into space.

At what velocity, does a semi reach critical mass? Will they be calling ground control on the old cb?

Very cool, capture, BareFoot!

I love this picture and your interpretation.

It's a great way to empty the truck though. After climbing into the back of a dump truck to shovel shavings out, I can see the attraction of this set up

Isn't it easier to use trucks that lift up their own trailers? I've never seen such a contraption. Maybe we do have them but I haven't noticed.

Cool shot.

"Houston ... we have a problem. Wally here wants to go 10-200 ... and ahhh on the QT there big brother, I gotta tell ya ... Papa Bear here just ain't ready fer another poop party in a confined space. Permission to jetison him out and pick his nasty ass up on the reeeturn trip ... 10-4 Good buddy"

"Ah negatory there Papa Bear ... negatory on the jetison. Wally may stink like the north end of a south bound hog but he's the only one that can land that sucker when you git back. Suggest you jam one those jelly donuts of yours up the snozzer and settle in for a long journey. 10-4"

"Roger that Houston ... and thanks fer nuthing, but I'ma warnin ya's raght now ... if Wally steals my donut for lunch he's space swimming for the moon and I'll take ma chances with the splashdown. Odds gotta be better fer survival! Papa Bear ... out!"
