  1. https://www.c4isrnet.com/unmanned/2019/03/04/russias-new-robot-is-a-combat-platform-with-drone-scouts/
  2. https://www.interfax.ru/world/795863 Two scenes are filmed.
  3. And this didn't help Soyuz-3 which was trying to dock Soyuz-2 at the night side, being overturned, until spent the safe amount of fuel and had to return. So, they are mostly becauze colored lights look nice.
  4. "Plants" can mean both "the things which grow" and "the things which smoke". Agriculture vs Industry
  5. Just a cosplay of Soyuz (#10 on the scheme, green зелёный, red красный, two whites белый).
  6. The road police doesn't. Not granted. I wish for a galactic internet account.
  7. Willy Wonka's army starts bombing your site with bowls of chocolate ice-cream. A month later you start wishing for a piece of stale bread.
  8. Granted. You are a Bethesda character and can adjust your facial details by mouse. Smaug vs Balerion. Who wins?
  9. Yes, of a clockwork one. As there are the orangeade, the lemonade, the appleade, and even the tomatoade, is there a cornade?
  10. It's a primordial soup, it lives there. Waiter! Is it a hot dog or a hot centipede?
  11. 1. Any controller has mass, and the lighter it is - the less it's effective. 2. See the touchdown of Falcons, and imagine the gravity is six times lower. It would bounce like Philae from comet. A gyro is overheavy, eats a lot, and is another source of an overturn, because conflicts with reaction forces of the ground. Also it requires periodical stops and RCS adjustment of the orientation, to release the accumulated stresses. It's relatively appropriate in space, but definitely not an option for ground. One tank above another, and they arer vertical and each has its fuel (for ~3.5 km/s delta-V, btw). So, CoM is much higher than Luna or LEM. The accuracy doesn't help when you land on a raw ground, tilted, covered with pits, heaps, stones, and areas of unstable ground. Only a proper geometry helps. See the battle tank proportions. It's for wildlands.
  12. Yes, and CoM of a pencil is higher, so it needs even wider legs than a legged ball. Upd. Also, unlike the flat and horizontal concrete, the ground roughness cause a tilt in any case. So, it's important to provide the HCoM / W ratio safe. Can the Starship shape have same CoM relative height as LEM? Unlikely. So, the only way to do that is to widen the legs.
  13. Different roughness of the surface. A flat concrete against pits, stones, and pits&stones covered with unstable ground. The roughness amplitude / leg span ratio should be kept in appropriate range to keep in range the tilt angle of the landed ship. It does. That's why rovers are low and flat and use outriggers If it was a pencil, it would just fall aside. When you have concrete-flat areas wider than the leg span.
  14. When a photon passes, its light gets replaced by dark behind the photon. Is the newtrino really new?
  15. 2/10 You just have to repair your heat management system. 2/10 And both of you should repair the coolers. They are vibrating. As both of you understood each other. The cocoa is good. A new keyboard is always fine. Any human knows this. *** What is "hot" and "cold"? I have only numbers.
  16. They discover a rare mineral and name it Hilldonium. Hilldonium Hill
  17. Because they know the English pupils. If "incident" is something bad, and "accident" is something very bad, then what is "cident"?
  18. That's why proper designs set the legs wide, rather than try to land a standing pencil.
