  1. Yes, these are crossed zebra bones in your horse meat soup. We were thinking it's funny. Waiter! Is this ice-cream made of fish juice or your fridge leaks?
  2. That's now. USS Enterprise is from mid-XXII. No problem, they will put efforts for special space applications of their own, paying for that from another pipeworks.
  3. And it will just illustrate the importance of proper minimalism. Of course, if the word "Enterprise" will stay legal in the United Socialist States (USS is for that, yes?). What could Russia do, if somebody has to rent a 1950s ship for flying for 10 years due to the lack of his own.
  4. The laser beams are bended by the asteroid gravitation and form a lighteroid,
  5. He is also banned because "kerbyloid" would sound with Ukrainian or Polish accent.
  6. As expected, the lack of counter-arguments resulted in festival of political insinuations.
  7. Granted. I wish Ginger was also a hydrobics instructor, too.
  8. The whole engine explodes due to a single detail, doesn't it?
  9. Exploding Raptors are nothing, compared to Boeing valves.
  10. They hate paparazzi, and were thinking you are not one of them.
  11. There is a guy named Russet, and he wants to know where does his potato disappear every time.
  12. Banned because I want to close the browser tab.
  13. Because the thing in the bush can be another hunter with a hound dog and a shotgun. Why do they keep hunting animals when a microscope allows them to provide a mass genocide.
  14. What you can do with the @Fengist's mods irl.
  15. You need 100 .. 250 m/s to deorbit the shell. A gun can provide ~1 km/s of delta-V. So, it may push it sideways-backwards to deorbit, and this gives ~1 km/s of perpendicular velocity, and thus up to 1 000 km of side distance. If take M109 Palpatine and put in orbit, it could spread 28 40 kg shells in such wide area. The problem is accuracy and recoil. But the recoil could be compensated by shoting in turn to the left and to the right, so the howitzer would oscillate about some average orbit (anyway it will be destroyed in minutes). Te accuracy requires to use some guided shells. The heat protection forces to use several hundred kilogram capsules, similar to the film capsules of good old times, and make the gun bigger. Advantage: simple shells, single expendable cannon.
  16. At <2 km/s speed? 8 km/s is 4 times freater. Drag and heat flow ~16 times. Currently the only thing they have what Roscosmos doesn't is legs on the middle-sized first stage (and who knows is it worth it). The drag should be controlled. This is the main purpose of the flat-bottoms.
