totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
OKB-1 was planning to build N-1 and stay in space (as they had been already pushed out of the military). Based on how many LK they have spent in LEO, probably depends on how much money their plant would get. What were the strategic plans, probably nobody can say, as well as the actual aim beyond the flag planting. As even the lunar probes since E-6 were transferred from Korolev's to Lavochkin's bureau (fighter planes, tactic missiles, long-range cruise missile), probably their further plans but N-1 were playing no role. -

When they didn't have a CAD software, the human life was cheaper, the risks were more appropriate, the design was cheaper and easier in turn. Now, when they have gotten the CAD software, the risks had already gotten more expensive, a lot of excessive expertise is required, and most part of the space cost is not the technics and its design itself, but the salary of thousands of people who have to re-compute and re-sign everything many times on any change. So, none of that. See p.1. *** In 1960s the space was a rocket engineering, now it's a social engineering. The rockets were cheaper. -
Mars Rover Perseverance Discussion Thread
kerbiloid replied to cubinator's topic in Science & Spaceflight
You see? Once Squad had released the breaking ground patch, and immediately NASA tries the robotic hand to take the ground samples! Not a week before, not a week later. Isn't it the best evidence of how the modern spacenautics works, and what software all of them use for the space engineering? -

Instead of the breakfast you could ask for a breakslow (from 9:45 till 12:05), but obviously you shouldn't miss the lunch because it's scheduled on the lunchpad. -

As a human chauvinist pig, I believe that the protein mirror direction is defined by the starlight polarization, and we'll probably face same statistic asymmetry like matter/antimatter or righties/lefties, and we can be happily eaten by Martian raptor without poisoning it. -
This dark huge ball with bright terminator line is the Moon eclipse?! So romantic. And the star. It's bright and with rays... Is this on Earth??? (Let alone the strange fractal lifeforms around.)

The Upcoming Movies (and Movie Trailers) MegaThread!
kerbiloid replied to StrandedonEarth's topic in The Lounge
There was already The Matrix Revolutions. Actually this requires a final trilogy. 1. The Matrix: Convolution. Another Matrix appears from nowhere and tries to self-apply on this Matrix. Neo feels knotted. 2. The Matrix: Bifurcation. The Matrice intersection forms a dual reality. Neo feels splitted. 3. And the ultimate one. The Matrix : Determinant. Neo finds the very root of the Matrix and gets the ultimate answer, the Determinant of the Matrix. All Matrice collapse into their singular superposition. Neo wakes up in his bed. He is again a hairy loser, who is trying to hack the corporative software, living in his poor rented flat, but... ... but now he knows the Answer. He knows 42. It's the determinant of the matrix he lives in. Now he feels like God, he knows the determinant, he can determine... -

What we need about all those planetary probes-schmobes, is a good asteroid redirected into Venus just to have a look how it works. 1. Unlikely there can be found anything interesting anyway. 2. As a bonus we would get mineral examples from the upper twenty kilometers of Venus and study about it much more. Go Venere.... Venusian Strike! -

I just try to imagine what can be a better place for the life genesis than the Earth, that somebody at all came to the panspermia hypothesis. It would be understandable if they were discussing a mollusc shell on Mars. -

@AlamoVampire, they try to sneakily reopen and reclose it again, before somebody clicks. Be aware. Click!

Mars Rover Perseverance Discussion Thread
kerbiloid replied to cubinator's topic in Science & Spaceflight
The Vebusian surface doesn't have continental platforms, but is covered with tiles ("tesseras"). This tells that it didn't have a fast core separation and lightweight minerals surfacing, like the Earth did, probably due to the proto-Moon capture/impact event and partial melting. This tells that probably, though Venus has lost all its water, it didn't have a period of time where a planet-wide ocean was existing, but it had boiling shallow lakes losing the water as steam, which then was splitted by UV and leaving the atmosphere (as H) and oxidizing the rocks (as O). -

Why gather wild plants instead of burning them to use the soil as a plowland for usuak crops? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash-and-burn (by undeveloped peasants) or for modern crop farming. Many people live far from sea and don't depend much on the sea food. It's just a cheap extra food, nothing more. Crops rule. 80k years ago just 10k humans had survived after the supervolcano. -

The Matrix Resurrection (2021) The Matrix follows The Resident Evil way with great accuracy and confidence. The remains of the common sense have left the show together with the sense of style. -
