  1. Calling 911 from the Hexen level.
  2. Just use the proper gateway where other guests come in. You don't need to open every back door in the kitchen. Jar Jar! Give me that jar!
  3. Avatar 2, 3, etc. Always bad final, humans lose. For All Mankind I would watch with pleasure an ecranization of real retrospace projects, like Project Horizon (with Davy Crockett on rovers, and Claymore minefields), Project Lunex, Program A119, MOL/Big Gemini, Gemini Lunar Lander, MORL, Sea Dragon, Convair Nexus, Orion, extended Almaz, LKS, UR-700/LK-700/MK-700, etc. But it hurts to see another profanation.
  4. The cosmonauts' faces look rather green. Something went wrong last supper?
  5. The Evil in the Dungeon Keeper was actually The Good.
  6. Yes. And they call her Cutty Sark. Did Unsinkable Molly have positive buoyancy?
  7. What Neo? No Neo. Matrix was cheating.
  8. "The crewed spaceflights were a silly toy for the kids of mid-XX, which we still are trying to finish."
  9. NASA's? They just hesitate to recognize the Rogozin's ancestry.
  10. Damned splashscreens... Having disabled them on two, but forgot on the third one. Btw, SLS also should not smile too much.
  11. The lunar outpost of Project Horizon (1959) was populated by crew of 12, but equipped with 4 nuclear reactors (2 x 40 kW, 10 kW, 5 kW). The atom was never as comfy as then.
  12. According to https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/59879/how-much-delta-v-did-the-v2-have, the delta-V of V-2 is 2.3 .. 2.5 km/s. The lunar circular speed is 1.6 km/s. The V-2 hull is made of tin, the tanks are made of aluminium, the oxidizer is LOX, so all of that can be manufactured out of the lunar regolith. Titanium from the same regolith can reduce its dry mass. Ethanol can be produced from the lunar ice, which contains clathrates. HTP for the turbopump as well. The lunar craters can keep it cold. Thus, it looks possible and even reasonable to manufacture V-2 on the Moon to launch something on the Moon, around the Moon, or to the Earth from the Moon.
  13. It wood be a bulbpecker, needing not lightwoods. Is a chunk of junk better than snubbish rubbish?
