Self proppelled Cyllinders???? Jan 26, 2005 18:47:21 GMT

I just started re reading the novell again, and in the chapter The Fallen Star i stumbled upon this piece of text: Some of those who saw its flight say it travelled with a hissing sound. I myself heard nothing of that.

Could the cyllinder be equipped with some sort of prepulsion system??

And would it just be used for the descent, to soften the impact???

The dark sky was lit with green flashes, Cyllinder following cyllinder and no one and nothing now was left to fight them, The earth belonged to the Martians.

Bayne and I were discussing this very subject a few days back towards the end of the thread "The Great Gun."

I do think they'd have to use some kind of retro system to soften the landing. Otherwise we're talking probably hundreds of G's on impact.
