This idea isn't new. Some people have quipped that the holodeck would be humanity's last invention. Related, Also, A far more interesting version is that aliens are prone towards creating ancestral simulations - not for entertainment, at least originally, but for research and prognostication. But those simulated aliens would in turn also tend to create ancestral simulations... and because computing power is constrained even when one has Matryoshka Brains to throw around, at some point in this recursive chain, someone will start Ctrl-Alt-Del universes or pieces thereof. Thus one of the possible corollaries of the simulation theory is that you need to conserve your creator's computing power... by destroying every other civilization.

Meanwhile, me: "Our opinions are not assurances. Here's our disclaimers slide..."

There's also money to be made on "transition projects", and the same people who supply fossil fuel power production equipment seem to be in the wind business if not the solar business.

I don't think Germany has gotten your message. The re-acceptance of nuclear seems to be a variously localized phenomenon that coincides with having a nuclear industry to rescue from bankruptcy.

In rocket design, this is known as a "nonleak coupling".

As if FW 189 is much different.

So, a naval equivalent of a racing game oil slick? Imagine what the Blue Shell would be.

Screw both of that. You can use a Solar Moth to get nuclear-like performance without using the N-word.

Does the deep scattering layer meaningfully affect passive sonar? And are the fish that make up the layer a hazard for reactor cooling scoops?

More so, this is internationally legislated, and the colony likely still fits within the definition of a spacecraft - so the original flag planters likely bear full the authority over and responsibility for whatever happens to a colony down the line.

Yeah. Here's a photo of it getting towed for improper parking

... But do I get eternal youthful looks, cool Gothic costumes, and crowds of gullible fangirls?

Stovropol's Monocrystal plant supplies about half the sapphire used in LEDs and smart watches worldwide. I'd call it Russia's hidden gem, but besides offending Alrosa, I don't know how to hide one of these

IMDB greeted me with the announcement that they're bringing back the original cast. Because that's worked out so well for past unnecessary sequels... *barf*

Engesa loves that design.

The Soviet rocket industry was a collision between Korolev's artillerymen and Chelomei's aviators. I don't think there ever was a coherent arrangement... Sputnik was ordered as Object D, though. S-400 doesn't really have an ABM missile, including the 40N6. If it did, it probably wouldn't get slapped together with S-300V's conical antimissiles (9M82, 77N6) as part of S-500.

S-200s were used in hypersonic ramjet tests. They probably lack the kick of a space-capable sounding rocket, though. Soviet outer planet probes like Tsiolkovsky (Jupiter) and the less imaginatively-named Saturn were in really, really early conceptual stages.
