totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Here only you are talking about something. I don't see a reason to use another one's thing when you have your own. Or should they wait until the Starship can help? The ISS will deorbit soonerr. Or should they ask for Dragon seats? But then you would flood the thread with "Wow! They need a Dragon!" by an order of magnitude more. So, they do it right. -
Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame

They had enough delta-V for maneuvering and landing/launching at the planet very close to the supermassive black hole. So, it unlikely was worth of their long-term trip from Earth to Saturn. -

It's not absolutely stupid. In some manner it's wise. They use Saturn to fly to Saturn. A sympathetic space magic. (Or they were thinking that Saturn was made to fly to Saturn). -

It's a way to call MS-23, which was to fly in March, but will in February. Just accept it. -
CSUR? XUR? When you remember Xur and Ko-Dan.

What Country are you from without saying the name of said country?
kerbiloid replied to TheLoneOne's topic in Forum Games!
Especially, since he said that it's a New England state, and Ohio is not in England. New Ohio! Or Ohioshire. P.S. Btw, isn't it a rhyme? /ou-haja-shaja/ -

Bad science is bad in 'rithmetics, too. -

Obviously, if a country has enough free seats in its own ready-to-use ship, it swaps the crew schedule and uses its ship, instead of asking somebody for help, exactly for political reasons, not just because it can. -

Granted. The reactor is safe. House melts, but reactor stands. I wish there was not just Thorium, but also Lokium.
-
Alternatively granted. You buy a chemistry schoolbook and realize that O2 is a molecule. I wish for description of every 1950s...early 1960s nuke design.

In old Soyuzes. Current ones are more unified.

These pieces look strangely familiar. *** Worse than Interstellar? Cool, will not watch. Old dwellers, who remember the Dwemers, are recalling this forum 8 years ago and the local hype about the outstanding scientific accuracy of Interstellar, especially its mathematical model of black hole image... Sic transit gloria mundi! It's a good catastrophe thriller in space suits. For reasons they called it sci-fi. 50% of its success is Gargantua, other 50% is Hans Zimmer. But it can make multiple flights to and from some worlds with higher gravity than Earth. For reasons. For reason. The main hero is an old-shool American astronaut, and he can't believe that this bucket with windows can fly without the rocket. So, they had to take Saturn V from museum to persuade him to fly. Also, it's a symbol of the Old America made great again after that technical collapse. It's a two-hour long videio clip for the soundtrack, yes. With blackjackhole and hook...s. Who needs those wimps screaming? Zimmer forevah! Especially the "Coward" theme. Can listen it for hours. -

Everything tells that it's a meteoroid hit. No known meteor shower is found guilty. They continue the study. The uncrewed MS-22 will return 1..2 weeks after the MS-23 arrival. The MS-22 crew will stay on ISS for several months more than planned. The next Soyuz crew will fly in autumn. -
Orbital Reef / Starlab / Noname Northrop Grumman Station
kerbiloid replied to Shpaget's topic in Science & Spaceflight
CBM lets a 127 cm cargo pass (clearance = 127 cm) CBM total diameter = 2m (held by Canadarm) IDSS at 2 hours is 146 cm wide (without docking targets area around). Canadarm diameter 38 cm. Max. diameter ~= 8.3 m, i.e. double max of railroad cargo, or a 9..10 m standard barge payload zone width. P.S. Inkscape lets this be directly measured, it has ~1 cm/pix. -

Granted. You download the Uranium Mine game and have a fluorescing world map with hexes. I want Xray vision to study my old school dungeon from aside.

When you understand that std::vector <bool> is not what it looks like. And when you have to use the ugly std::set because QSet copy-constructor is not complete.

Yes, so with this ship's luck they will miss the desert ground and splash in a lake in the middle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soyuz_23
