No. Launch and dock - yes, the latter part - no. Because nobody actually needs to change something.

Not its tracks, but its joint/suspension part. It was too wide, while the total width of a tank is limited by the two Ancient Roman horse donkeys railroad width, which btw hasn't changed since then. So, by taking too much external width, it was leaving too few internal width, and they weren't able to rotate the engine across to put the bigger turret in center. Without that the new (rounder) turret with 85mm was moving CoM to the nose too much, making the tank dive, and thus also stopped from moving the driver's door from front to top. So, the upgrade was cancelled, and the turret was partially adapted for old T-34 chassis, giving the temporary design known as T-34-85.

Not only. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klimov_VK-1 And in the mid-WWII the Christie's suspension appeared to be critically bad in sense of T-34 upgrade to the then-modern capabilities, because was occupying too much horizontal space, making the hull itself too narrow to place the diesel across instead of along and placing a bigger turret. so the T-34 descendamt "T-43" was failed, and its further replacementT-44 with replaced suspension and a proper engine orientation didn't take part in WWII.

Idk, idk... How much simple it was... ...and what it has turned into, when somebody decided to add U, N, P.

He is in every low-budget movie where Eric Roberts isn't. Sometimes it seems, they are most required actors in Holy Wood.

Hey, mister! Is it your soup hanging on there? Waiter! What kind of species is this boiled caterpillar of, so that you call it "dog"? "Hot dog".

I'm just afraid to even assume what was the Season 2 about...

I mean, how does the alloy strength at low temperatures relate to the strength at high temperatures?

(multipost)

And thanks to this, we have the pikchaz: P.S. I just can't get why is the Trident at 00:55 bombing Spain? The submarine was captured by terrorists? Spain was captured by extraterrestrial invaders?

I mean its Starship version. The Starships should be unified, shouldn't them? A base model for various purposes. Can't see any relation between the cryogenic and heated strength then.

He talks about the tanks. APC and tugs are rare but nothing special. Because wheels. Tracks would damage the asphalt and cost a road repair. Also, when a road passes by a shooting range border or a test site, the tracks are normal, too.

It should be another Starship or another purpose of Starship? If the latter, then no difference. If the former - why do you call it Starship? It's a lunar zeppelin. Cryogenic strength - in what sense?

The melting point is 1 500°C, so is anyway lower than the air drag peak temperature. One thing is when the steel details are small and sunk in the main heatshield.

Starship is going to undergo, iirc. Enthalpy of vaporization: steel ~6 vs Aluminium ~10 MJ/kg. Enthalpy of melting: steel ~250 vs Aluminium ~390 kJ/kg. You need 1.5 times more energy to destroy an aluminium hull of same mass. And the mass is why they choose aluminium. So, no difference.

Indeed. But if the constructors of 1960s could use bare steel without asking for the overexpensive niobium, they would definitely do this. Since then, the steel unlikely has changed so much. This tells about the steel hull, not about the niobium.

It would be too expensive to raise this question. One of the reasons, why all of them have been cancelled. Yes, they were for the <= 8 km/s re-entry, not for 8...11 km/s. If they were, the things would be even worse.

It was a wild (unofficial) beach on the military test site, and the place where the ship was crawling out of water had (or should have had) a cordon around, so nothing to worry about. Almost always - the latter. What's wrong in a wheeled car moving on a road? If it was tracked - it should be carried by trailer.

Anyway Nostromo was the last realistic part mod.
