  1. 10 Hours Now I've posted it after you, and it's still a cheating.
  2. https://aerocorner.com/blog/do-airplanes-float-on-water/
  3. No, but usually you have time to leave it.
  4. It has a sting. Does it hunt Reapers?
  5. A macrobiologist takes the cookie. Zoocookie
  6. The kerbiloid is a being. It's a cheat.
  7. Because it's Ti-Rex. How many lightbulbs does it take to change a Kerbol.
  8. This just proves that they were eating meat, but this is obvious itself. But why film hunting Trexes, or Trexes eating rotten meat, when they can be local Cloverfield monsters appearing from the darkness of the blurry predawn light to heartlessly take a helpless stanned raptor, desperately dreaming about the coming sunny morning to warm up? ***
  9. The birds have poor night vision because they fly. So, the night vision is anyway useless for them. T-Rexes didn't fly. So, they didn't necessary have bad night vision. Also, there is a lot of night birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nocturnal_birds Maybe T-Rexes are kiwis or nightingales. (Because to imagine an owl-like T-Rex sneaking in the night is too creepy.) And there is predawn, when the T-Rex was probably still active, while smaller ones were cold and sleepy. A predawn predator.
  10. What'the functionally morphologic difference between the hunted dino caught walking or sleeping, or between the hunted dino gathered sleeping ond a dead dino gathered lying?
  11. 10 km/s you need to get in LEO, 1 km/s is taken by the air drag. So, the balloonery doesn't give much to the rocketry.
  12. Depends on the ability of gathering and delivering them to a safe place until the rescue spacesuit gets out of oxygen, which is typically less than two hours. So if they can get themselves to an emergency capsule, or a rescue ship arrives and takes them all on board (which takes time, and probably anyway requires them first getting to the built-in rescue capsule themselves.) So, unless they are fighter pilots, who needs a rescue spaceuit anyway, they probably need a breathe mask with air balloon for 15 min and some pressure bands in the combat unform (like the fighter pilots wear), to let them crawl to the nearest safe room in case of sudden depressurization. As the depressurization of a whole compartment unlikely can happen in seconds (because such big hole in a wal means that the crew inside is already killed), so probably portable breathing masks at the workplaces is enough. They should put them on in combat mode, or keep at the table other time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-contained_self-rescue_device Yes, pointless. Because you will need to either produce and remove heat, or just remove the excessive heat. And as you can remove it only to space (in the planetary scale), and the planets have the most compact form they can (a sphere), so the planet outside of comfortable equilibrium temperature will get overheated. The same with orbital habitats, but much quicker. 1g -rotating habitats in orbit, and agriculture and industry on surface. The agriculture should be in natural equilibrium with the insolation. Deorbiting takes much less delta-V than launch and insertion (100 m/s vs 10 km/s), unless you want to hit the surface point exactly below the current position of the ship. But it takes from twenty minutes to more than hour to fall down (or many hours from GSO), can hit only targets close to the orbit plane, and has poor accuracy. So, the deorbitable missile should be either a hypersonic glider like HTV-2 deorbited from LEO (to maneuver a couple of thousand kilometers sideways from the orbit plane, and to be homing at the final approach), or a stealth, sharp-shaped, and heatproof to dive from GSO. In vacuum - very weak and so close that everything will evaporate before feeling it. At distance - only from the gas cloud of the evaporated ship wall, expanding through the ship corridors. Everything lightweight (Li, Be, B), all actinoids, all platinoids, all lantanoids.
  13. A minuteclick! Just in less than a minute!
  14. The Soviet tradition tends to automate whatever it can (docking, landing), to exclude the human factor. At least, remotely operated. The American one, vice versa, tends to pet the swelling astronaut ego by calling everyone "pilot" and allowing them dock, land, etc, where it's not needed. Don't be like the latter. Follow the Soviet&SpaceX way. Protect the space from humans!
  15. Why do they portray T-Rex as a daytime chasing predator, and argue if it was a scavenger? Based on its mass (much greater than a tonne), it should stay warm and active all night long. So it would be a nightmare, sneaking through the night forest and gathering sleepy smalle dinos without efforts.
  16. Being kerbiloid is a cheating itself.
  17. Banned by all aardwarks of the world.
