A method for developing and utilizing a Space Cruiser vehicle efficiently combines resources from relevant end users in industry and the military. The preferred vehicle has an elongated conical shell with an elliptical transverse cross. section. The cabin of the vehicle preferably has a circular transverse cross section, leaving space between the cabin and the shell to store vehicle fuel. The cabin is insulated and capable of supporting occupants in a shirt-sleeve, air-breathing environment whether in the Earth's atmosphere or in outerspace. The vehicle is capable of being launched from conventional aircraft, and also being stored in and launched from a space shuttle or orbiting space station.

A movable machine in accordance with claim 9 wherein each upper Y piece includes four wire ropes attached thereto and attached to the respective one of the second pivot mounts. 11. A movable machine in accordance with claim 1 and further including a first resilient stop attached to the frame end adjacent the first pivot mount and a second resilient stop attached to the frame end adjacent the other side of the first pivot mount. 12. A movable machine in accordance with claim 1 and wherein one of said sheaves has a smaller diameter than the other sheave. 13. A movable machine in accordance with claim 1 wherein said frame end has a notched corner, said notch being formed between said first exterior wall and a second exterior wall extending perpendicular to said first exterior wall, said sheave bracket being located substantially within said notch. 14. A movable machine in accordance with claim 1 wherein said hinged means has a length about the same as the distance between the spaced apart sheaves. 15. A movable machine including: a frame, an electrical motor on said frame, a cable electrically connected to said motor and adapted to be connected to a source of power, a reel on said frame between said electric motor and one end of said frame, said reel providing storage of said cable, a spooling device between said reel and said one frame end, a sheave bracket assembly mounted on said one frame end, said sheave bracket assembly including: a mounting plate, two spaced apart sheaves rotatably mounted on said mounting plate, said cable extending between said sheaves, a second mounting plate parallel to and spaced apart from said first mounting plate, said two spaced apart sheaves also being rotatably mounted on said second mounting plate, and hinged means connecting said mounting plates to said frame end for permitting pivotal movement of said mounting plates relative to said frame, said hinged means comprising: an arm including a first Y-shaped part, said Y-shaped part having a base and two upper Y-shaped pieces, with said base attached to a first pivot mount connecting its base to said frame end, and each upper Y piece including four wire ropes attached thereto and attached to a second pivot mount connecting the four wire ropes to said mounting plates, said second pivot mount including a lower pivot connection to said first mounting plate and to one of said upper Y pieces, and an upper pivot connection to said second mounting plate and to the other of said upper Y pieces, a second arm also including a first Y-shaped part, said Y-shaped part having a base and two upper Y-shaped pieces, with said base attached to another first pivot mount connecting its base to said frame end, and each upper Y piece including four wire ropes attached thereto and attached to another second pivot mount connecting the four wire ropes to said mounting plates, said another second pivot mount including a lower pivot connection to said first mounting plate and to one of said second arm upper Y pieces, and an upper pivot connection to said second mounting plate and to the other of said second arm upper Y pieces. 16. A movable machine in accordance with claim 15 and further including a first resilient stop attached to the frame end adjacent the first pivot mount and a second resilient stop attached to the frame end adjacent the other side of the first pivot mount. 17. A movable machine in accordance with claim 15 and wherein one of said sheaves has a smaller diameter than the other sheave. 18. A movable machine including: a frame having an end, an electrical motor on said frame, a cable electrically connected to said motor and adapted to be connected to a source of power, a sheave bracket assembly mounted on said frame end, said sheave bracket assembly including: a mounting plate, two spaced apart sheaves rotatably mounted on said mounting plate, said cable extending between said sheaves, an
