  1. The Soyuz stages happily fall almost intact (just smashed), so the air pressure is unlikely enough to tear them apart without explosions. The SuperStarship propellants are cryogenic, but the tanks are bulky. So, it looks wise to cut the tanks into sheets, which in turn will be quickly slowed by air drag, and land and relatively low speed. So, the fairing will make the third stage structure be several times heavier. (The tanks themselves + much bigger external envelope). The tanks are bulky and thin, so a reusable tanker will bring very little cargo, because it must be strong and heatproof. P.S. Why Musk doesn't just buy Port Isabel and declare it a part of the test site? P.P.S. Starship Superheavy: TSTO = "too stage to orbit".
  2. A Heisenberg Apathy lemma: "Both motion and position may stay unknown at once, if the Observer doesn't give a ... care." *** My inner lingwist will never be the same after knowing this word...
  3. Cheating is banned in this thread.
  4. "Andromeda Nebula" clearly says that the far-future Earth spaceport is placed in Hammada Al Hamra. So, this would be started from somewhere.
  5. It's an inevitable reaction on the CyberFlag initiative. As it was described in 2020 or 2021 (before the current events, but after the known POTUS election discussions) in a dedicated interview on the purely pro-Western Russian-speaking youtube channel (can't recall now), it's an initiative of splitting of the world-wide internet into the well-protected cyberfortress for the Western and pro-Western countries, and other for others. As it was described, the former ones will be well-protected from the latter ones, have their internal cyberjob market, resources, and so on, unreachable from the other countries. As China mostly has its own toy box, and probably would be keeping that course, probably it was predictable since 2020, just with the question of timeline. So, probably there will be bridges, but it's unclear if there will be something to watch for free on that side of the wall.
  6. Finding reasons in chaos is cheating.
  7. Just had seen again this thread and recalled it. Maybe it's a last chance to download some KSP docs.
  8. It's a pity that the forum doesn't support the image links from "wikia", and even the manually shortened ones are displayed as thumbnails.
  9. Granted. The night sky looks scattered now. I wish there was cosmic aether.
  10. Africa is New South America. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guiana_Space_Centre
  11. Granted. What mode do you want to rate? I wish to download other 13 pages of 24.
  12. So, the Bangladesh ice hockey rinks should be sqrt(4*78) times smaller, 1.7 x 3.5 m.
  13. Having no exhaust trench is like shooting from bazooka standing close to the wall behind. Impressive but painful.
  14. You may laugh, but that's where the Kraken lives.
  15. Floor 3337: It's not just a loop. It's a distributed loopback file system.
  16. Zaire already had a chance, too. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OTRAG_(rocket) Africa. You never know what's planned...
  17. Poetically granted (and continued). Aand the result stays active too. I wish for a better potatoo
