This is forthcoming. I designed the thing in a hurry and never
wrote up a read-me file. I wanna make it more general purpose.

PS hey, heres a thing for you rocket fans to be thinking about,
an idea I had today. A lot of us whine about the space shuttle,
how expensive it is, etc, but look at it this way. Suppose you
are a rocket designer and you are given the same set of requirements
the shuttle designers were given in 1965. To orbit with 30 tons,
18.5 meters by 4.8 cylindrical, *return to earth with 10 tons*
and land with dignity. What would it look like? spike
