  1. The 9 m diameter likely says that the four-row river barge was the origin. 4 * 2.438 + 3 * 0.05 = 9.9 m.
  2. SpX previously said that they anyway were going to dig a pit below, to reinforce the launchpad basement, so optimists say that the fire show just helped with that by digging the crater where it should be. The tower looks intact. Mostly. P.S. Port Isabel, prepare.
  3. Granted. Everyone is typing in silence. I wish to know all "Ancient Egyptian" hieroglyphs.
  4. Pallas is known for his cat. He made a right bet.
  5. Maybe four, but it took almost four centuries since the Stevin's studies and Torricelli's experiment to use the science for practical needs.
  6. It's a silicone rocket age. First in KSP2, now irl. Wait... That's the software used to design it...
  7. Granted. The Package Dept. of the Green Bay post office is always glad to help you. I wish github had gitcoins.
  8. (Probably, already was posted, but lazy to look through.) Photos of post-launch launchpad. The crater is 20 m in diameter and several meters deep. https://pikabu.ru/story/nemnogo_podrobnostey_o_posleduyushchikh_planakh_na_puskovuyu_ploshchadku_starship_10168321
  9. After Godzillas, Titans, Evangelion, and countless others under-attack movies, I wonder if anyone in Japan would still take those warnings not as a part of the next movie commercials. (A cartoon movie after which I was looking at a lemonade bottle suspiciously.)
  10. Banned for trying to hide the revealed dark secrets.
  11. Zero cost. The air gets away in minutes, so you are in space right where you are standing.
  12. "I have killed about seven hundred elephants, but I can say that every time our chances were equal." (c) John Hunter, a famous hunter and writer of early XX, from memory. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._A._Hunter
  13. With its up to 2.5 t payload it probably can put in orbit a one-day-long craft like Mercury (< 2 t) if they need. And their tech is definitely not worse than the American one of late 1950s. Mercury (as well as its foreign counterparts) is a normal recon/spotter craft to recon the aim, spot it, check the hit results, and return. (What the very first flights of Mercury have demonstrated). A 1-2 revolution interceptor as well (same flight experiments), but there are much more sats in orbit, so it's unlikely important now. As NK unlikely has enough developed spysats, it can be a thing for their purposes.
  14. Virtual and plastic humans aren't bio-.
  15. On the other hand, if combine the Single-Person Spacecraft with Canadarm , this actually should work.
  16. Unless some parts of the destroyed rock (or the declined entire one) is considered heading another one's territory.
  17. The link from the this post contains an amusing phrase. Why not "biohuman devices"? Or they are going to sacrifice their humans by throwing them into their nuclear reactor as a moderator?
  18. FOBS was military, but it wasn't orbiting the Earth at least once, so it wasn't placed.
