  1. Floor 3270: Elysium kicking back the arriving rockets.
  2. It's hot. Happily, it isn't Sagittarius A*, as your soup would flow out. Waiter! A well-done steak please. Not this piece of burnt rubber.
  3. Ask Lance and Gwen, they should know. Was the Green Knight a Kerbal? Banned for making me confuse a thread again.
  4. An X-37B on backyard? Does anybody? I don't pound. I tested, I checked, I put it on a shelf. I don't care of convincing somebody. If you look the thread history, the last two pages I just response on others' calls. Exactly. I would prefer to avoid recruiting excessive entities like warheads, but... It's the least my imagination can. I just had to restrict it witrh this thread subject.
  5. In fantasy RPG they just use personal weapon skills. Axes and halberds +4, Swords and daggers +2, Clubs +3, etc. Every time you use some weapon, it skill points grow.
  6. Evidence? It's just a hypothesis, which from my pov perfectly explains all observable strangenesses , and I brought it to check if there is an alternative explanation based on things which I miss, because of Occam priinciple. Haven't succeeded with that. So, until an evidence appears, for me it's not the best, but just the only version due to absence of others.
  7. It's strange... I was sure that in 1899 all of them are speaking in Russian.
  8. ISS still can. It is doing this for many tonnes of materials. The film capsules are still appropriate to expose something to radiation. All secret researches other that this one tonne, didn't need their personal spaceplane system, and were happily run. Because these explanations are based on emotions, never-ever, and general words like "it just needs" and "it's secret". (Come on, aren't you going to impress a Soviet/Russian with the word "secret", lol.) Neither doubtful fact was alternatively explained, so it has just ensured me that the hypothesis is right. Other secret materials arre happily living on the ISS trusses and nobody knows what's that and cares about it. Unless a material is inevitably emitting something detectable from outside, making pretty clear for others, what's that. I understand that <the mentioned territory> is what the whole American life is devoted to and running around for last four hundred years, and only the opinion of several famously pacifistic countries is sacredly right, but this still doesn't explain any of X-37B properties. Can't see a radar there. Maybe only on a Russian inspector satellite passing by, lol. 227 kg in total? Even smallest useful combat lasers need a truck or a tank chassis. While the weak aiming lasers are happily used for decades. The American docking system is based on lasers. The modern Russian one as well. Even Salyut-7 was captured using a standard handheld field laser sight. The problem is exactly that 227 can't be enough much for something so useful that it is worth a whole separate spaceplane system. Not an instance of existing spaceplane system, but a system not used for anything else for more than decade. X-37 payload: 227 kg Almaz and Raduga film capsules (close to Corona ones): 120+ kg. Almost same .
  9. Banned for not also declaring the next post.
  10. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/09/serious-concerns-raised-in-nz-about-environmental-impact-of-major-productions-including-amazons-rings-of-power Come on, seriously?
  11. Because nobody buys it there. Titan is covered with methane. Why is Alderaan destruction scene is not censored on youtube like even smallest traces of violence? Several billion voices screamed, you see?
  12. Why did you sink your watch there? Waiter! What is this lobster talking about?
  13. Banned for thinking that a sense should be made rather than just exist.
  14. Sleeping after a concert. Retired 'cuz tired. *** We know that Io is full of sulfur. But where do they take wood for matches?
  15. Indeed. You've just taken these words from my mouth, that's exactly what I'm saying. Like "this is a car, it needs wheels to run", pointing at a mobile rocket launcher. Technically, it's a truth. ISS can do this with any cargo ship in much greater amounts. For example? What composite sandwich is so specific that can't be exposed on the ISS and needs a whole spaceplane system? Cargo Dragon returns more than a tonne of them per flight. Like all X-37B flights together. The airlocks are from 80 to 120 cm wide. The boxes are handheld. Next suggestion? Rubber bands and nets are invented long ago and are used since the first spaceflight exactly for that. https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/corona-film-return-capsule/nasm_A19950118000 Welcome the Corona Film Return Capsule, 1972, the last of them. They have been used hundreds of times since late 1950s. Also, what to return from the satellites at all? There is ISS for material exposing, and the satelites can last for a decade in orbit, so that their return makes no sense at all. 1. In the ideal world, yes, but in real world can depend on trajectory and other factors. 2. An enforced SLBM RV is appropriate for a HEO station, and still must be tested. X-37B is a perfect test platform for both such warhead and an a LEO assault drone. I just haven't heard any substantive counter-arguments on my hypothesis, and at the same time see very weak explanation of very poor designs funded for decades.
  16. It unexpectedly jumps on you from screen. What's "emoji"?
