  1. Don't google the "mantis hunt hummingbird" videos. Actually, any "mantis hunt X" videos. Because they eat everyone. Including mice.
  2. Mostly yes, less interaction.
  3. Screen philately. Thumbnail-sized photos in an instagram album.
  4. Because a space hotel has limited capacity, and even three (Dragon, Starliner, Dreamchaser) US ships exceed it. When SpX launches some sats, these sats will be anyway launched by some space agency, and it will receive the money. So, why not launch them, even they belong to some SpX competitor. But in case of tourism, SpX is at once the Dragon owner, and the Falcon owner. So, every Falcon flight for Nyx means minus one Dragon flight with tourist, because that Dragon will fly next time, because the space hotel is not made of rubber. P.S. Additionall funny is how everyone here is ready to use billionaires as cheap free testers for every ship which somebody made, lol. Feels like a dot.com.
  5. To get just a part of the billionaire's money instead o the whole price. To launch sats (which will anyway be launched by somebody), and to deliver tourist bus instead of your own...
  6. Falcon will deliver Nyx instead of Dragon? Or expendable European rockets (Eurockets?) will be as cheap as reusable Falcon?
  7. Granted. An asteroid strike breaks all streaks. iVish.
  8. When you are trying to understand, if all new posts already exist in a looped thread.
  9. Nope. That's no hope. Yes, it's Special Launchbox Soup. Bartender! A drink, a helmet, and something heavy!
  10. As he tells that humans need to move to Mars asap due to the possible worldwide cataclysms, it looks reasonable to build an underground railroad to connect VaultTek vaults.
  11. MMMMMMM = M7 = Magnificent Marvellous Mighty Multiplanetary Martian Musk's 'Mpire. with EMS-numbered ships (Elon Musk Ship)
  12. Got it. The original ones were using gravitational pendulum, useless in sea. The spring-based clock, independent to tilting, appeared later, and became useful for navigation since 1700s.
  13. In the Mediterranean pool and along the European coastline. Not in the ocean. The longitude is needed in a stormy open space. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_distance_(navigation) Was proposed a century before the Jool moons were discovered, in 1524. (And like any military significant technologies, was probably in use several decades before, before some nerd made it public). They called India everything which is not Europe and MidEast. Like till early XX in Russian literature they were calling any Asian peoples "Tatars". Also, the fact that he called it India doesn't mean that he actually didn't know that it isn't. It was wise to keep in secret a new land, to make others think, that there is nothing interesting. Even if Columbus didn't know, Vatican in any case did, because they were sending missionaires to both. *) Arzamas-16 and Chelyabinsk-70, and Moscow-400 were called so, being situated far away from these cities. So, India-1492 doesn't have to be in India.
  14. They launch satellites. They don't send people to... Where to?.. Only ISS, and maybe later Axiom, where a whole line of human deliverers is breathing into each other's back-of-head. They will be very glad to see another one in the touristic flight schedule.
  15. Jool moons were discovered in 1610. Mechanical clock in 1300s.
  16. Taking piece of bread from Dragon and CST-100. Russia already has a spaceship, and is regularly using it in practice, not in theory. So, the need in Oryol is not that urgent. Will the NYX be, or won't it be, it doesn't compete with Oryol in any sense. Their owners will be anyway using their own ships. But I can't understand your gloating. Dragon, Starliner, Dreamchaser, and all that crowd of American companies. who are competing to each other in visiting the depleted (almost derelict) ISS, and the planned Axiom. They are, who you are laughing at. They are NYX competitors. Are you sure they will find enough suicidal maniacs space tourists for all of them? SpaceX, Boeing, maybe ULA, and other US developers are who should (actuall, not) worry about the new (like if there was an old) European xapsule. That's why I believe that NYX will more probably join the glorious company of Hotol, Hermes, Saenger... Not because Russia will stop it. Because American capitalists will.
  17. Lack of testing, lot of bursting was his practical motto.
  18. Barbar The bar in a bar, where the bartender is standing behind. Barbar barbarian A person, who is acting like a barbarian at the barbar.
  19. I was reading about these projects in my school years, das was fantastisch. I can't forgive them Hotol.
  20. For much bigger money, with same result, and unlike Oryol to the date, finally abandonned. Like LKS, like Spiral, Like Maks... Unlike Buran, which indeed had performed a flight.
  21. A life has evolved in the old spaghetti to ban'u'all.
  22. No, tovariщ, that's how Soyuz was being depicted in late 1960s. https://1kommunist.ru/2022/10/30/30-oktyabrya-1967-goda-vpervye-v-kosmose-byla-proizvedena-avtomaticheskaya-stykovka-sputnikov-kosmos-186-i-kosmos-188-yavlyavshiesya-prototipami-kosmicheskogo-korablya-soyuz-unikalnoe-dostiz/ Even Dead Morose Ded Moroz wasn't aware of its real look.
