If the plane isn't moving (if) as a result of the treadmill, eventually the treadmill will speed up the air above it due to friction. Nothing to do with wheel bearings. Friction increases airspeed. Friction is not itself increasing. This whole problem is too ambigious to solve. Each side "knows" the answer but, in truth, the two sides are solving different physics problems, based on individual interpretations.

Sure. But eventually drag between the treadmill and the air increases the air speed with respect to the plane, thus generating lift. The plane might crash eventually, but it takes off.

If the student is on this site or playing KSP then the lesson is failing to hold their attention. If the student is using any device during a lesson the lesson is failing, irregardless of the website they visit. If you're worried about that, ban phone use or something. But when there is no lesson and the teacher is giving them time to slack off (happens sometimes), then banning this site is pointless. Especially since, in many cases, students can just use their network data and bypass the wifi, or use a VPN. Pointless. There are certain sites that make sense to ban since there are situations where students are on-line, using school wifi, during lesson activites and there are sites that have major issues, but this site? No. Not at all. This site is only problematic as a distraction, and an educational distraction at that.

Well, to be honest, schools aren't exactly the smartest cookies, and have been known to ban their own websites from time to time, albeit on accident. You should focus and learn in school, but a school banning this site is utterly pointless. Probably not even done specifically for this website, but to a large number of websites, many of which they may never have heard the names of. Perhaps the mention of "game" is what banned it. Or something else. Bottom line, it doesn't really help anything.

YouTube recommending videos I have no interest in seeing. I haven't even watched anything related to them, either. They're just... there. Man that is annoying.

If I recall they wanted to wait for a precedent before doing anything.

I mean, they may have some major issues, sure, but spacesuits for sub-orbital spaceflight aren't too complex. The technology is far from new, and there's some good quality stuff commercially available. If they play their cards right and don't goof it up, it may work just fine. Cork has been used in heat shields before...

That whole album is good.

One good idea is to define where everything is and what's going on between each chunk, and tell the individual writers to make sure the story gets to that point. Essentially, you define Points A through Z, and just ask that the writers don't do anything drastic and make sure they can communicate effectively for continuity's sake. That way no one is stuck to religiously following a set outline and has the freedom to write how they see fit, but all of it is still continuous. One problem I see with this is differences in writing styles. Some of us may have wildly different styles. It would be quite strange to be reading a chapter with one style and then move on to the next with a completely different one, although it could be part of the appeal to any potential readers. Also probably fixable during editing. One cool thing about this though is that it would allow people who don't have time to write a whole novel take part in the process. I'm interested. Also, I'm stuck with view only on the doc.

There's post-Apollo Nova, and the original designs. Some of which were smaller than the Saturn V, and others were still quite similar. Once LOR was selected, the Saturn C-5 was chosen as the primary vehicle. The Saturn V would be derived from this design.

Well it's more a reference to Beneath the Planet of the Apes, what with worshipping an atomic bomb.

Retainers are worse. For me at least. Braces you eventually get used to, but not retainers. And you have to take them out every time you eat. Eventually you may only have to wear them at night, though. Maybe my issue was that it was applying pressure on my fillings, but still.

Sure, but at this point it's likely more widely known than any other franchise or work with that name appearing in it.

Children of the Atom? That's from Fallout. Including that would look a lot like a joke.

EM-1 EC EM-2 Unless it doesn't fly EC, in which case it's EM-3, which probably won't accomplish much. The ISS actually does do some good manned science, and not all of it involved with how to keep humans alive in space. Now, the ISS is quite an expensive piece of hardware, so it's not as good as unmanned probes in that regard.

Saturn is after Jupiter.

I'm just gonna drop this here: I love this game. Maybe too much... I do want to see a remake of it, though, I think it deserves it. I think I like how slow paced it is in comparison to MW:O.

What exactly are you having problems with? In general, just try to understand it.

The Saturn V got up to five per year, I think. Apollos 8 through 12 were launched within the space of 12 months.

Happ birthday.

Well, we could certainly do this in orbit...

Columbia's first four flights had the ejection seats. There was also an option for RTLS, other landing sights, and abort to orbit, provided failure wasn't a LOCV event.

Child's play. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)

From what I know, they'll be phased out eventually. This is the intended behaviour, though. I remember it being mentioned in something, though I'm not sure what...

That's something like over a thousand tonnes, right? At that point you'd have... well, some serious capability. I'd be launching a lot more than a fully fueled BFS, that's for sure... Yeah, the original ITS design would be a downgrade. It was an early design concept regardless. I do think a scaled up BFR might make an appearance, depending on the circumstances.
