What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
Does anyone remember the egg shaped craft that could be sent back to earth from orbit and would land without any power of propulsion and no wings? Just an egg and flimsy landing gear. Shown on TV in action late ‘80s I think.
They were lifting bodies, flat on top with a hemispherical underneath.

Thank you, Much appreciation! The craft I saw must have used the same concept of a “lifting body” even though it appeared to be just as round on top as the bottom was when viewed from the side. From the side it looked like a chicken egg. Small end forward I think.
Idk but this discussion seems relevant. https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/180363/1980s-or-1990s-ya-sci-fi-book-involving-egg-shaped-spaceship#180378
What I’m talking about was was shown on the news landing on an airstrip. It was still in the developmental stage.
