The reaction will not go to completion and there will be a ton of nitrous oxide byproducts. There is no way to catalyze the reaction to completion because the sulfur has a poisoning effect.

But its so small it explodes in your hand before you deliver it, giving you a lethal dose of high energy gamma. Poor tedwin kermin, i place his remains on the trackway blocking all launches for a manadatory kerbin mourning period of one year.

http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2016/jul/18/nearby-supernovae-could-have-affected-life-on-earth I'm not sure this would be a widespread risk but it might cause problems for life at higher elevations. For people living in houses or even caves, the radiation would only be a factor when they are outside and outside is facing the nova.

Here we go again?

Duel intent

Banned for misspelling monster.

How about ZYXIN (name after the last 3 letters of the alphabet) or TNFRSF14 gene produce. Alias HVEM, HVEA, TM2.

Branniff went out of business 1982, Concorde started operation in 1976. More than likely it was an earlier 747. Braniff was one of the first customers for 747. Looks like 747-127/20207 if its N601BN (also known as "Big Orange" in 1978 or 79). Those look like JT9D-3As. Basically the same aircraft as a shuttle carrier without the mods. The plane was bought by Tower Air and operated until it was rendered unflyable in 2001 and was scraped at JFK. You normally can't track aircraft by they livery but BI gave all the earliest 747 is different paints. The only oddity here with published photos is the bicolor B on the tail. http://www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?cn=20207&manu=Boeing Note: this aircraft went into service in 1971 (5 years before the concorde) and was 'retired' 2 years before the concorde went out.

No, the radiation problem is that for any given power supply and any given electric drive system there are inefficiencies that give of heat. Vasmir and ION drives waste about 10%. Solar panels themselves dissipate their own waste, but the transformers and conductors waste heat. Point sources of heat need to be radiated, and panels are far less efficient as radiators than they are as absorbers. The radiators add weight in addition to the weight added by solar panels. The option is fusion power, does not have solar panels but alot more unradiated waste heat is generated. These two engineering problems exist before you even think about the payload problem.

http://www.physicscentral.com/explore/plus/timeless.cfm Thread needs an intro, as per past, lost of new questions about time, quantum space-time, and resolution (the process that converts events in the quantum space-time to classical spacetime) have been placed in other threads. Physically this now appears to be a hot topic so I created a special thread and issues regarding time may be placed here. The first entry is a comparison of philosophical questions of time and comparing them to the quantum/classical conundrum that time creates.

Keep going I'm right behind you

duel purpose

Not recognizing the difference between pig-Latin and bad English, cheating.

Yes, but to be at the pinnacle of commercial technology when completed and yet not go under any major improvements in 40 years? The 747 was followed by 777, and now you have 747-8. All of the commercial aircraft from the 60s and early 70s have had engine-pack replacements (more efficient engines). Take a look at the engines on the 707 and the 737. There were lots of room for both safety and efficiency improvement in the Concorde, but not with the business model in which is operated.

I eat the rabbit [picking my teeth with its digital bones] I [poof] everything into third space.

Nice non-cryptic obvious to everyone edit.

I'm responding to what has been said in this thread, not DARPA, I generally do not respond to handwaving proposal, otherwise I would have presented a thread on this myself. There is only so much Mars One and like stuff on the net one can intelligently deal with, the rest is psuedoscience and quasi-engineering. If people want to SERIOUSLY discuss means to get into space and recycle equipment, alot has been done by independent organizations, they should start from that and leave the handwaving arguments to sci.fi. As far as I am concerned there is no way to get to a 'few day' turn around cycles without going through SX or BO route . . . . . Start by doing what you have a reasonably good success of completing and make improvements. Thats how the Prius became the first really viable venture into electric car technology. Its not fully electric but those vehicles are not cost effective. Get the point. Improve on what works, don't handwave and guess.
