Space, Yes I Said Space !

Here's the skuttlebut.
I am very determined to get off this rock. I have made many comments off the years about getting off "This Rock" but recent world events have hardened my resolve. I have given up on saving this planet so I choose to abandon it.
This is not something that can be done in one felled swoop. There are many things that must be accomplished to move forward. The first thing that must be done is design a ship to go into space do maybe one orbit and come back down at a given location safely.
Then once that is accomplished there are numerous goals that need to be accomplished while a larger ship get designed, for later use.
  1. Sustain prolonged orbit. Either with a ship or a satellite.
  2. EVA. Get out and test a spacesuit.
  3. Rendivous. Have 2 orbiting craft meet in orbit. Basically think about me standing in the backyard while your in the front. I'll throw a tennis ball over the roof, now you try and hit it with a rock when it comes sailing over.
  4. Docking. Build a docking system so that the too craft can connect with an airtight seal.
  5. Extra Orbital Flight. Test the capability to leave Earth Orbit. Say a quick trip around the moon and back.
  6. Orbital Construction. Assemble a modular ship in orbit. A Modular Ship that will have the capacity and power to stay in space indefinitely.
Now most have said I'm Nuts. Now this is not news. There is a small group of ppl forming that shares my ppls. Hopefully with their assistance this will all become possible. If I only accomplish the first step of a single orbit I would be most gratified.
