I.e. it doesn't happen, when you are staying away from a familiar cat which is in good mood, and even better is sleeping.

Let's recall that the real (not sci-fi) Moon projects started from the Project Horizon, which was devoted to the fortified semi-underground military base, protected by minefields, with permanent infantry squad of twelve, armed by wands with direct-shot fragmentation charges. (Did I miss something?) It was started in mid-1950s, before any satellite had been put into orbit anywhere on the Earth. (And that the pdf links in the wiki about this project got dead a year or so ago).

Should attach it to the fin.

But I pronounce it in Russian, so it's normal.

And we should not forget the fluorine upper stage of some 700s.

Sounding rockets.

1. Huawei is more rocketish than Acer (01:25). 2. /Kras-mash/ has same number of syllables as /Sar-mat/. 3. Also a ringtone.

It was. They called it alchemy. Why did they inflate the Earth? Wasn't the flat one enough good for them?

You haven't paid to your Kerbals. They are on strike. Yes, you can. But you have to fill it with hydrogen to prevent from squashing. *** Why did they not cut the dog's tail on the photo?

It would. Because nobody wants its homeland to be destroyed when the war is not about this homeland existence. The devastated noone's Moon is definitely not a reason to get your home burnt. Most of wars in history finished at borders. Very rarely they became a total devastation. That's why (see the link above) numerous local incidents and foreign wars didn't cause a global nuclear war. The real world is not a basic arythmetics. Until the vital things are under attack, no local military loss is enough significant to start the total war. That's why Korean and Indo-China wars, where all three countries were directly involved, haven't escalated into a nuclear war. The Moon may get totally radioactive, but all it can cause on the Earth is the spaceports destruction. See above. The lunar military base is not as vital as the early warning system or the communications. Its destruction would not be a "clear and present danger", so would not make to risk with the homeland war. Actually, in the described situation even a Starship launch site destruction would not cause a total war. At the most - a dedicated single anti-spaceport strike. Not a relevant example, because every lunar launch costs much more than a cargo ship cruise. And the lunar equipment costs billions, rather than raw materials and WWII tanks. The lunar cargo shippers would go bankrupt much earlier. The "scale factor" of a Proton-class rocket is much greater when every Starship gets expendable. Even if take seriously that marketing nonsense about 5 mln USD per flight, this value presumes that the Starship is not hit every flight. This makes as much sense as every existing and used system of distance mining. The Moon surface is a location. The target is approaching from the Earth, has limited maneuvering capability, known destination point, and has to brake on descent. Almost ideal target. It was making sense in 1960s, when the spysats used film capsules, as the electronics was weak. Currently the sense is more questionable. The are absolutely unrelated things. Just the money previously brought by launches will be taken from other source. The space infrastructure would not be significantly affected by the Musk's business.

Granted. You now use Thunderbird 2.0. I wish it was as good as The Bat, but I understand that it's a real world, not a fiery tail.

From the Moon surface? About 2 km/s or so. A 6 mm steel barrel is vulnerable even to a rifle. Try flechettes. 15 times more rockets? One meganuke on their landing site? Just once hit their destination and never more care of those Starships? While the battle stays away from the national population, everyone will try to keep it there. A thousand of lunar craters more, a thousand less... Should I copy the link once again and remind of several wars in SE Asia in 1950s..1970s? *** Dear Starship Troopers! Please, realize that the Starship is a Zeppelin, not a U-Boot. Same bulky and flimsy.

Raxxla???

As I noticed a little bit later,

A 1950s bomber could carry more payload than Starship, and its delta-V doesn't allow it perform any maneuver. A shrapnel shot would penetrate its 6 mm (or how much thick) hull in several places even without an explosion, just after being put on collision course. If it was cheaper, it would be declared. Only when it's expensiver, it makes sense to make a smoke around. *** A hint: an anti-starship rocket can be launched in opposite orbit direction.

Really? Enough cheap to use them in 1960s hundreds of times and keep using today. Yes, if it uses cheat codes to spawn them for free. And any anti-starship rocket is many times cheaper than starship. Because, as the Russian proverb says, "To break is not to make." Ломать не строить. Can your nation sustain at least more lunar lander per year, let alone the "flooded sky"? Of course, under the assumption that SH/SS can ever fly, but this is a given condition in this thread.

You can even make a lead (literally) zeppelin, and it will float in both zero-gravity and mercury. When was the time invented?

I forgot, that still nothing has ever landed on the Moon because there was no Starship, sorry.

By rocket.

What color?

It's many times lighter than a crewed lunar lander. Why? It should get to there any time. And the StarshipWarship is just a small vessel, not bigger than a plane. It would shoot once the Starship appears above the horizon. Or even earlier. P.S. I don't mean that the anti-chopper mined from the picture is what's needed. It's just illustrating the whole idea. Actually, a kinetic or a nuke rocket is what's needed. But same small.

I find this rather realistic. A Star Destroyer design usually costs two or three millions. Also, Blender and Gimp can save a little.

The Starship is just another flying aim. This, but bigger and on the Moon.

As I always said when they asked about the chewed and scratched arms: "Training to get immune to the cat venom."

Our last she-cat was in-door, and she was getting fleas from humans (from the common house dungeon),
