totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
https://www-roscosmos-ru.translate.goog/37949/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru Roscosmos and NASA have signed the cross-flight agreement. If one party needs assistance in presence of at least one NASA or Roscosmos spacenaut on board of ISS, the other party will deliver them by their ship. -
Back in my day sliding rules didn't look funny. (For me - they still don't.)

Individual cars move along the roads, not across them. So, inidividual railroad cars are just a question of necessity. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draisine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railcar The same with maglev.

I counted boxcars.

If one is expecting a big nuke nearby, he can blast a lesser nuke in between and easily hide in the shadow of the smaller mushroom cloud.

82, but just to get 87 sooner.

Granted. Your pet fish, named Jupiter, can't do that, because it's small and weak. I wish the giant Placodermi were again in the seas.

And maglev trains. In vacuum they can reach airplane speed, and maybe even 3 km/s. (Comparable to the artillery shell speed, but artillery shells aren't suspended, they rub against the barrel.)

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread
kerbiloid replied to Skyler4856's topic in Science & Spaceflight
According to the open Western sources, a nuclear bomb wants to prolong the supercriticality growth, to let the fission fuel become as supercrtitical as possible, before the reaction reaches maximum. Say, by combining Pu and U layers in the levitating pit, as U is more lazy. They aren't about the criticality at all. They are just decaying, without chain reactions. A "subcritical" nuclear test is in between. Very popular for several decades. When you ignite only one point in the two-point initiation charge, and the charge splashes out once the chain reaction just had started. So, the yield is in hundreds kg rather than in hundreds kt. Thus, you formally haven't violated the treaty, but got enough physical data to ensure you get the picture right. In that US veteran article even considered as the 5th gen. super-low-yield tactical nuke. https://www.veteranstodayarchives.com/2015/09/04/vt-nuclear-education-the-uranium-hydride-bomb/ Hypothetically, this could be used in some way, but is obviously ineffective for propulsion. -

I switch the light off. The photons disappear. "Biba and Boba, two (stupid persons)". Characters from a known indecent rhyme, an allegory of a couple of (stupid persons) in whole. *** Death Star shoots a beam of darkness.

Subs in Russian, but the video is self-explaining. https://cs14.pikabu.ru/video/2022/07/13/1657726174218118050_576x1024.webm Spoons and foil are expectable, but the last part is specific. There is another "fire in microwave" video on youtube, but this one is with fire caught inside a glass in a magnetic field. P.S. DIY fusion, soon.

We don't know if it's a day, until it comes. Is a the blackhole remain of a cubic star squared? -

Instead of asking, why Jool is green, first ask yourself, what have you done to make in normal. Why is Jool green? -
Sloped Ramps, Long Runways, and Heavy SSTO's
kerbiloid replied to Spacescifi's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Only on takeoff and landing, if you read the articles. The flight is at airplane altitude and speed. *** Of course we should mention the (ta-dam! TA-DAM!!!) Aldebaran project. It's a pulse rocketship, just like OP likes. P.S. It's sitting surprisingly high in water. -
This forced, background character is not well known at my place. Nobody cares if he comes. As everyone with a cheap ADSL router, where "admin" is default name. *** In addition to Boba, somebody sends his brother Biba.

It's not Pacific... Any langoliers around? -
Granted. The navigation mod used by the pilots just failed execution, so both pilots and a stewardess are panically trying to pull the wheel back for six hands. I wish Pacific is warm.

Calling 911 because you just have watched in the amateur telescope a huge asteroid approaching to... Anyway, too late. Let them just watch TV and enjoy.

That's when you are adjusting the speed. But you don't have to.
