  4. It's first of all very difficult physically A GSO platform needs less delta-V to deorbit in any direction, but is hard to support. The LEO platform needs hypersonic gliders for crosswind maneuver. Both are very difficult to implement, especially in 1960s. They would be developed in any case, to test the fusion theory. Just in tiny amounts, but anyway ready to manufacture. Actually, it was intended long before the fission bomb. They just didn't know, how to ignite. Or for resource mining purposes. Or against asteroids. Or as a part of Orion propulsion. Briefly, the North is historically populated by Viets (close to China, more developed), the South -by Khmers. The Viets were tending to dominate in the region, the Khmers had their own view. Temporarily, the conflicts were supressed by the French, who... weren't demonstrating high selectivity. In 1950s the North became free first, while the South was staying French. Once the South became independent, too, the North wanted to restore the political domination on South, but this was rejected. But the South was ruled by a dictator, not the best man, so a Civil war was running. The rebels asked North for help, the North joined with pleasure. The South was asking USA for help, as the North was supported by Communists. The USA just unstuck from the Cuban story, had a muddy mood, and was not inspired to join a war again, but after several years of asking, and the rather strange Tonkin incident, it joined. While the South was falling into the political and military bankrupcy, the more Vietnam people were willingly-unwillingly taking the side of the North. Finally, it began looking like the USA is the only one, who is fighting there, for unclear reasons. So, finally they have run the campaign of pacifism and quit the war, because "people are asking for". Because everyone started with Rutherford. The most part of murders is done with a kitchen knife. It doesn't mean that it's made for murder.
  5. Then I'm both ram and rabbit, as I was wearing fur caps made of them.
  6. Because we do be being doers. If there are modal verbs, who are the modders?
  7. Both are banned, because it's an esoteric spelling.
  8. Granted. You have cut off the last ten minutes of Highlander. I wish it had a sequel: Lowlander.
  9. Yes. Reptiles. They wear scales and are cheating by tweaking.
  10. Granted. Now everything around has as much sense as SW. I wish SW was white-and-black.
  11. Yes. Ask the dentist. Is gravitation named after Gravity Falls?
  12. Krampus Deity of Kerbal cabin design.
  13. Those, who had read the HP fanfic by Yudkowski ("Methods of Rationality"), know that there is also the Hufflepuff option for such case.
  14. Then I don't ask, how it should distinguish nail (a sharp iron stick) and nail (a finger cover). P.S. Just noticed, that it's very dangerous to talk to AI in English, "Open the chest."
  15. It's a soup from WandaVision. Waiter! Tortilla juice, please.
  16. No proper futuristic postapoc without Kathleen Kinmont. No proper action thrillers without Melissa Ann Moore.
  17. Floor 3970: A colony of barnacles with caoutchouc cords hanging down from the mouths.
  18. Just first time noticed that the car name is Hummer, rather than Hammer. KSP educational...
