  1. I'm excited for new Kerbally goodness!
  2. Burya is owned privately, pending litigation, by a man willing to sell the orbiter back to Russia for the skull of the last Kazakh Khan. https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/10/kazakh-entrepreneur-seeks-to-trade-soviet-shuttle-for-historic-skull/?amp=1
  3. Cool video, but they are really driving home the possibility of a failure. I can't wait to see what it can see:
  4. About 6 minutes to launch.
  5. Ariane 5 launch stream just started:
  6. That's closer to what I was thinking. Though the SM-3 is a kinetic kill vehicle. Would it break it up enough? I was thinking more along the lines of Sprint. Although, I don't know if a non-kinetic kill vehicle exists on alert, at the moment.
  7. https://heavens-above.com/orbit.aspx?satid=48275&lat=0&lng=0&loc=Unspecified&alt=0&tz=UCT If it becomes known that it is coming down on a huge metro area, what is the best way to minimize damage?
  8. They think Jezero used to be filled with a lake. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jezero_(crater) ' (/ˈjɛzəroʊ/)[1] is a crater on Mars located at 18.38°N 77.58°E[2] in the Syrtis Major quadrangle. The diameter of the crater is about 49.0 km (30.4 mi). Thought to have once been flooded with water, the crater contains a fan-delta deposit rich in clays.[3] The lake in the crater was present when valley networks were forming on Mars. Besides having a delta, the crater shows point bars and inverted channels. From a study of the delta and channels, it was concluded that the lake inside the crater probably formed during a period in which there was continual surface runoff.[4]'
  9. The axis of rotation probably affects this a lot. If it's on its side like Uranus then it will vary by season where the storm is strongest, methinks.
