Ever wondered if a regular Joe can build his own spacecraft; let us show you how.
This white paper documents the methodology by which a manned, suborbital rocket (the Daedalus Personal Spacecraft being typical) can be flown through a pilot, a flight computer and the actuated steering thrusters all working in tandem to complete a successful launch and flight.
We will be using the Daedalus as a vehicle to explain to the reader how exactly this is done from first principles so that there is no ambiguity as to how this is done. Also included are examples from our current level of technology as to how to actually implement this as a functional system, at least in theory at this time.
