totm dec 2019 Russian Launch and Mission Thread
kerbiloid replied to tater's topic in Science & Spaceflight
Instructors? The deadly heptyl... It's everywhere over there... So strange... Making photos while being deadly thirsty... Rogozin is a head of innovative future world weapons testing team "Tsar's wolves". He may be everywhere. He may be everyone. Look around, there is a chance that he's standing behind and watching, what you are typing. This man was developed not to forget about him on his castling. -
It took seven years, seven endlessly long years of futile attempts to fix the unfixable game. If the developers could realize its unfixability a bit earlier, they would spend all that time in doing useless work.

Granted. The Earth is spinning 1000 rounds per second now. I wish for a space anomaly in the Solar System.

Bad science in fiction Hall of Shame
kerbiloid replied to peadar1987's topic in Science & Spaceflight
In Alien - self-destruction overheat, in Aliens - overheat destruction. Technically, they could implement a ship self-destruction mechanism by having the local heatproof tungsten cistern of deuterium fuel, and redirecting the reactor power on heating the tungsten walls of the room where it is, to make it hot and emitting X-ray to compress the cistern. It would also explain why the ship is getting hot and steaming after the self-destruction had been initiated, and even explain to some extent, why it can't be switched off several minutes later (already too hot and uncontrollable). Or the reactor itself could contain fissiles, being forcedly fissiled by the fusion neutrons and/or Xray. Mabe even the idea is that the fissiles are getting hot, emitting X-rays, and compress much greater amount of the fusion fuel inside the reaction zone at once, after the heat control had been disabled. But on LV-426 the reactor would just fail burning, as the fusion fuel is just tens milligrams per second. -
If it was nonfixable, they wouldn't be afraid of publishing the source code.

Aliens When the meatbags are walking inside the heat exhanger, Lt. Gorman ordered them all to give up all ammo (including grenades) to prevent the pipes damaging. Do I get it right, that all their ammo (including grenades) was occupying one bag and weighting 10..20 kg, i.e. a clip and a grenade per soldier? M41A was 10 mm, after all. *** Let alone the kitchengarden flamethrower, fueled with propane instead of napalm. -
Very useful from any pov. Should be a standard part for the lunar base and rovers. Anti-meteoroid, anti-rad, anti-UV, just a place for any junk.

For Questions That Don't Merit Their Own Thread

Iirc, yes. The UR-100N is a universal thing. One of the IS/US launch vehicles, together with UR-200 and R-36. -

totm aug 2023 What funny/interesting thing happened in your life today?
kerbiloid replied to Ultimate Steve's topic in The Lounge
Just don't dive to Titanic, like the previous one did. P.S. "Remote control" doesn't man "uncrewed". 1. Titan was using a remote control from inside the cabin. 2. The pilot may stay on surface, but the passengers be inside. -

Meanwhile somewhere are quietly weeping the Breeze and Frigate rocket stages. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Briz_(rocket_stage) http://www.khrunichev.ru/main.php?id=49 https://russpace.ucoz.ru/index/razgonnyj_blok_briz_m/0-66 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fregat P.S. Funny fact: the inner part of Breeze (that 2.5 m) is/was the post-boost vehicle of the UR-100N ICBM and/or LV based on it, i.e. the jettisonnable torus tank was added later, to put it on Proton. -
A typical beginning of a magic quest in fantasy.

totm may 2024 Mars Sample Return discussion thread
kerbiloid replied to Minmus Taster's topic in Science & Spaceflight
What if put a bounty for the Martians on the Martian sample return. It would solve at least three problems: 1. Humans meet the Martians (the ambassador); 2. Humans can see the technologies the Martians use for interplanetary flights; 3. Mars sample return. -
Granted in its turn, after the Ships ## 0, 1, 2, ..., 28 and the extraordinary ones. I wish people were more attentive when reading spells. The wish was about "rule to ring", not about "ring to rule".
