  1. And the construction complexity and mass in case of the low-ISP (because the exhaust temperature should be below the ionization and dissociation of molecules) nuclear engine, additionally equipped with afterburner and oxygen propellant system. In case of the high-temperature high-ISP engine, the molecules won't even appear.
  2. Less LOX gives less energy, but still increases the molecular mass and thus decreases ISP.
  3. Banned because Johnny comes marching home again, while you don't.
  4. It's deep, it doesn't hurt you. The bee vomit is called "honey". *** Waiter! No spoon! There is no spoon. Why?
  5. As you wish, sir. Meh. Meh. Waiter! Some bee vomit, please.
  6. A flight test of Jericho-2 (1st and 2nd stages).
  7. The most expensive piece of bog iron evah. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limonite
  8. And you have to spend 8 kg of O2 per 1 kg of H2, raising the molecular mass from 1 or 2 up to 18, thus: dramatically decreasing the ISP and increasing by an order of magnitude the spent mass, in the rocket equation. So, it eats the ISP of pure hydrogen. So in the best case it can replace high ISP with high thrust for the same engine, but you don't need it for NERVAs. If the engine is really hot and the exhaust speed is tens km/s, it's just a bombardment of an oxygen target with hydrogen ions, The oxygen will be just ionized, and turn into a hot cloud inside the nozzle, pressing it from inside.
  9. Why were you playing a Man-o-war cover on your B2 bass guitar sitting at the diner table? Waiter! Why is this napkin so familiar to me? Haven't I used it previously?
  10. The temperature of several kK leads to ionization of atoms... The ionization breaks moleculs. The energy required for the molecular assembly and disassembly is equal...
  11. Once the Sun had become a red giant, everyone will be happy that there is Korona to fly away. *** If combine with Sarmat, it can be a reusable ICBM.
  12. Banned for presuming that I know the grammar rather than ignore it.
  13. Wrong thread? All bans are there: Waiter! Why is this soup glowing blue?
  14. Because it's built according to the drawings by Thor Heyerdahl, which were drawn to check the theory that vikings could into space.
  15. Banned for making relevant cuses, without "ex-".
  16. Banned for trying to ban the KSP mod code repository.
