  1. It can start flying around the tank, winding the wire, and capture it.
  2. Banned for using these vulgar "u" instead of native "v".
  3. Banned for ignoring the red shift.
  4. Ewoks are degraded hobbits living in a mallorn wood.
  5. Banned for accusing me in the-discrimination. I have seeded several of them in random places to grow.
  6. Got it. The Universe has a shape of cone. At the very point of the cone the is you. Yes, you, reader, the center of the Universe, the Physical Observer. The outer rim is full of various useless minor junk like quasars, broomed away from your place. It's an accurate representation of human priorities in the picture of the world.
  7. The US ones. The Soviet/Russian liquid-fuel ones just run the main engine inside the launch shaft. The solid-fueled R-39 was being hanged in the shaft by the jettisonnable top cap and thrown out by a powder gas generator attached to the engine end. Then it was having extended the inflatable nosecone. *** The questionable moments of tha NASA PR designers' cartoon: The rocket is placed perpendicularly to the lander axis. The lander would be placed parallel to the launch vehicle axis. So, on the Earth launch the returnable rocket will be lying perpendicularly to the 4 g acceleration. To withstand this, it must have strong tank walls, strong. And heavy. Exactly what's required for a rocket to land and launch from Mars. (A probable lifehack from NASA PR designers: "if the curvature of your bended rocket is equal to the curvature of the Martian ascent trajectory, it wil just curvedly slide to the orbit along its path.") Feeling like speaking Polish now. A lot of heavy mechanics. Almost no jettisonnable parts. A tutorial how to make your spacecraft as heavy as possible.
  8. Banned for driving through Burn Cantine which is in Switcherland which is rich with Emmen tals, talers, and thals, and thus gave the name to Emmerich The Director who is a Master-Disaster in Holy Wood.
  9. I definitely can't play KSP in Ohio, because I'm at the opposite side of the planet. Should I dig through?
  10. => Any number is pi at its appropriate level of approximation.
  11. A countermeasure. To bring penguins from Antarctics to Arctics, and let them colonize it. 1. Polar bears will be fat and happy. 2. The penguins' permanent tramp, splashing, screams, and hubbub will kill SOSUS-like systems efficiency at the root. 2b. The SOSUS sonar tecnicians will learn the bird language. The most advanced of them even speak in it. To nurses. 3. A new technics will arise: ship pinging penguinging by penguin pinguin screams.
  12. Apples are edible. Pears are edible. Ergo, pears are apples.
  13. I mean, every non-apple plant takes available room in the garden from the apple trees. So, more roses = less apples. When there is enough apples, you can let the roses. But otherwise there is no choice but apples.
  14. Not that long spans it took a decade after invention . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fischer–Tropsch_process#History
