If you had read my post before commenting it, you would see that I believe in the ALSEP RTG conspiracy theory, not in the nuke. P.S. Still finding the idea of it onboard weird. -
totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread

Do you know other boosters of such size? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_A119 The rumors of Apollo-13 among other Apollos were probably based on the presence of several kilograms of plutonium onboard. Officially, 238 for RTG, and I believe that's so, but now only fishes can say exactly. https://science.slashdot.org/story/11/11/28/1637231/will-nasa-ever-recover-apollo-13s-plutonium-from-the-ocean Anyway, a little strange usage of a crewed ship to test RTG. Are they immortan? Even 7K-VI, which was designed with two RTG instead of solar panels, was carrying them on two long bars to be extended right after the LEO insertion, i.e.several minutes after launch. The Apollo-13 crew would spend ~4 (actually spent ~7) days sitting next to it. Was it really necessary just to test RTG for a long-term crewless lunar probe? It looks rather strange and of course the Apollo-13 movie omitted the subject. Anyway, there was a self-warming hot object in the service module, and the exploded cryotank was not far from it, unlike in other Apollos. (It officially was there, and both 238 and 239 are self-heating). So, probably the conspiracy theorists think that the tank was warmed up, and LOX became GOX, unlike in other Apollos, So, the RTG was not delivered to the Moon and exploded days later "Hey, look! Our reactor exploded! Bad reactor, bad!" but happily returned to the Earth and splashed. The original one stayed on paper. Only help of Pentagon (who just had lost their DynaSoar) and design change helped to get the necessary money to build a much bigger spaceplane than NASA wanted. NASA wanted a small bay for scientific tools. Pentagon needed a bay for any railroad payload. Spysats match the railroad payload standard. To improve the position, the bay size was declared as a universal cargo capability to replace other rockets and pay for the joy. -

Where the jet touches the ground, the stones will be colliding and playing billiard, spreading up as a wide sheaf of trajectories. Only the sheaf axis will be at -8° angle. The sheaf itself will be wide, and some of its stones will be flying in retrograde direction, towards the ship side.

Still any questions why dinosaurs got extinct? You even didn't need to apply a stone. They have KSL. Literally. -

Not posting before you is a cheating as well.

totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I'm referring to the characters' psychology. Absense of pathos, constructive pessimism, scepticism, and stoicism. At the same time, strong inner beliefs and ideas. For somebody - a catastrophe, for them - another Tuesday. Find some "space enthusiasm" or other loud words in their mind. In 1960s they needed jobs in the same states, too. They may keep building SLS for future (they need a lot of them for lunar base), or same personnel may get hired to producing missiles (due to the mentioned political situation), remember what I was saying about the SLS priority in the SLS thread. And as the space market is too small even for Protons, the SLS and SpaceX manufacturers may face a competition here much sooner than Roscosmos gets gone. In this case other countries may be involved, too, and under those oil price conditions any lunar programme would be postponed. Apollo was run when Lunex and Horizon were postponed. Nothing purely political is in military pilots (the same from Mercury and Gemini on top of IRBM/ICBM Redstone, Jupiter, Titan II) flying to the Moon in test flights on the ship whose early purpose was a lunar base personnel rotation in direct landing flights, after the previous two pure military projects. Simultaneously to DynaSoar and MOL pure military projects which would be in priotity if Apollo was pure civil. And the rumors of a nuke onboard of Apollo-13 are of course rumors, but sounding very close to the known Soviet cancelled E-4 lunar craft with a test nuke. Space Shuttle was done in co-lobbying of NASA and Pentie. Both were military, like all of them. Just had a double-purpose civil application. And as we can see, nobody cared about scrapping the national pride when cancelled Apollo. -

Too easy. It's a "Science" forum. Arrowheads from the silver spoons are good against the werewolves and vampires. Oops. Translated literally. -
It's not necessary to drop a big, 100 Mt nuke. Let start with a little and comfy one, like Davy Crockett. It's a pity that 1950s+ sci-fi never mentioned a second navigator opening a window and dropping down a landing nuke.
