In [[Tutorial:Basic_Rocket_Design#Electric_Energy]] it has listed a thermoelectric generator, but its actually called a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, or RTG. Adding Radioisotope to the name will make things less confusing for those that want to look up more info on the subject as there are other thermoelectric generators (just not normally in space ;). I'm liking the tutorial, however, its pointing out lots of things I was struggling to figure out last night. -- [[User:Krenshala|Krenshala]] ([[User talk:Krenshala|talk]]) | In [[Tutorial:Basic_Rocket_Design#Electric_Energy]] it has listed a thermoelectric generator, but its actually called a Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator, or RTG.

Great tutorial!
But as an absolute beginner, I asked myself what is "TWR" under "Propulsion"? I assume it's something like thrust-weight-ratio?
- Thanks for the feedback. User:Crush already made clear what TWR means. I created a link to the Terminology article. — xZise [talk] 11:26, 3 April 2013 (CDT)
