  1. Draco → Superdraco Raptor → Superraptor Because Falcon → Falcon Heavy Starship → Superheavy *** So, engines are super-, rockets are -heavy.
  2. It should be called Raptor-33. Raptor-15 they already have,
  3. But if stick it into algae, we'll get a green ocean.
  4. This tweet cannot be truth as Russia was never planning to put the weapons into space. So, probably he was talking about some absolutely peaceful countermeasures.
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barycenter *** But the gravity force doesn't point at the E-M barycenter. Otherwise the rocks would fly from the Moon surface up to the Earth. g ~M/r2 Earth: 5.97*1024 / (6.371*106)2 ~= 1.47*1011 Moon: 7.35*1022 / (384.4*106)2 ~= 5*105 Acceleration ratio from-Earth / from-Moon = 1.47*1011 / 5*105 = 300 000 times. Max angle ~ arctan(1 / 300 000) ~= 0.7 ".
  6. The table surface should be gimballed in two planes, with a heavy counterweight, automatically pointing at the barycenter. Maybe even floating in a dense and viscous liquid for better accuracy. (Glycerol?) Like a good compass does.
  7. Banned for accidentally pressing the Time Warp hotkey, so that a whole beard has grown in seconds.
  8. I even have no idea, who are those Whos, as never had watched even an episode of that archeological artifact of the old-style TV-show for children, about speaking trashcans plagiated from R2D2.
  9. The hurricanes and the ground sliding can't fear you.
  10. ThanQ. Corrected. Banned for hype remotionality.
  11. Sometimes. (In the last season of it Who was a doctoress, iirc.)
  12. https://www-interfax-ru.translate.goog/russia/803355?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=nui A video about the debris orbit.
  13. Probably 216 identified of 1 500 trackable A cause to try the toy crane https://www.science.org/content/article/europe-plans-space-claw-capture-orbiting-junk
  14. Banned "so" is just a "shared object" type library.
  15. So, this should be shared between this thread, the ISS thread, and the X-37 thread.
  16. https://www-interfax-ru.translate.goog/russia/803315?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=nui
  17. https://www-interfax-ru.translate.goog/russia/803293?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=nui Just in response to the US https://www-interfax-ru.translate.goog/world/803291?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=nui
  18. Probably, Baby Yoda is stolen from Gremlins, while Jar Jar is from old comedies with Eddie Murphy. Both are worse than the original.
  19. Maybe to study well how to avoid the Kessler syndrome in LEO. Say, to keep the foreign sat networks safe in case of asatting, to let the worldwide communication and navigation work. What if several clouds cross the Starlink/OneWeb orbits? *** What a nonsense. FOBS is just putting in LEO and deorbiting, not a kinetic intercept. Or if he means the FOBS intercept, then it's much easier than a ballistic intercept, as FOBS moves predictably. The whole FOBS theme is really pulled by ears here.
  20. That were other asat debris which ISS has passed through a day before. At 200 km above. Crossing they will be some time later. In the radiation belts. It's a time to rewatch the classics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starflight:_The_Plane_That_Couldn't_Land (Btw. Starflight... Starship... Starliner...) It pushes them up. On the other hand, it incrreases the gas drag on the planet way. *** On the bright side: the ISS future now looks more clear.
  21. Banned everyone with the just "banned", because this way the thread will be banned.
