  1. What Neo? No Neo. Matrix was cheating.
  2. "The crewed spaceflights were a silly toy for the kids of mid-XX, which we still are trying to finish."
  3. NASA's? They just hesitate to recognize the Rogozin's ancestry.
  4. Damned splashscreens... Having disabled them on two, but forgot on the third one. Btw, SLS also should not smile too much.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. It wood be a bulbpecker, needing not lightwoods. Is a chunk of junk better than snubbish rubbish?
  8. Shrine of Vulcan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcanal
  9. Floor 4989: A Troll bakery with T-shaped rolls.
  10. The dragon boats were built to go and take away the gravy boats at five o'clock. Was Mother of Dragons riding Mother of Butter?
  11. Boar ban boar And the rams. The rams are banned too. Total zoo banocide.
  12. So, you think that they will start creating KSP-3 now... Maybe, maybe. The new videocards won't buy themselves themselves.
  13. From the Movie Cliches that NEED to Die! thread. Do you see, @Fizzlebop Smith, what have you done there? The whole NASA can't launch rockets after they had followed your advice and touched the countdown sequence... I hope, you are happy now!
  14. With practically zero heat sink, making its power supply capability negligible. Here on the Earth we have ocean to cool. +100
  15. NASA has a tradition. Every sixty years they start an SLS project for the Moon. http://www.astronautix.com/s/sls.html Btw, some pictures and dox about LUNEX, the 0th iteration of the Artemis. https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/luna/luna_projecthorizon01.htm#contents wiki has interesting pdf/webarchive links, too. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunex So, no. SLS is not outdated. It's recurring.
