  1. Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel or Completely Overpriced Planet Vandalizer
  2. Holy smokes why don't we put a selfie-stick on a rocket! Maybe on the upper stage, to make the boring part less boring.
  3. It will feed itself slower, and the Kerbal will probably get weaker, but it won't die within a few months. Just don't do it, killing Kerbals in an explosion is fine because they die instantly, but you don't have to make them suffer. Its cruel.
  4. The orthodontist put a filling in a cavity (i didn't know about, and she didn't tell me about either) in my teeth, wich must be way overflown, because now i can't even put my teeth together anymore. Should i go back? Is this normal? Help?
  5. Wait, didn't they ditch the Aerospike?
  6. Its going to be hard, but considering SpaceX apparently is cramming the mouth of the project full of funding, i don't see it being delayed too much. The jump from a relatively 'small' to massive company with high demand is in the way of Tesla.
  7. I just found out about this and its amazing.

    ALICE is a rocket fuel that uses aluminium nano-powder and water (in the form of Ice, to keep the mixture stable). The Aluminum reacts with the oxygen in the water like any other themite reaction, and the hydrogen shoots out at high velocity, increasing the exhaust velocity.

    Not just that, because all it is just Aluminum and water, it could easily be be made at say, the Moon, because those two things aren't too difficult to get on the Moon, and Ice isn't too hard to store, not much harder than Cryogenic liquids like liquid Hydrogen and Oxygen. This is a solid rocket fuel, so it can't be turned off, unfortunately.

    I could see this being used in kick-stages for Lunar Orbital cannon cargo, to finish orbit.

      Can parrafin be manufactured on the Moon? You need Petroleum to manufacture Parrafin right? They could probably use another wax as an alternative.

      Maybe they could throttle and turn of ALICE, if they seperated the Aluminum and Water in the a Hybrid rocket configuration. Althought this might be less efficient because of the lack of surface area.

      Well It has nothing to do with the moon, but it is just parrafin burned in a pure oxygen environement. Maybe a good choice for cheap SRB's launching from earth.

      Or model/amateur rockets!

  8. I thought it was going to launch in December so im not disappointed. Just confused from where i got my information from.
  9. Apparently the RL-10 costs 38 million dollars to build. Not sure if it was different in the 60s (ignoring the inflation of course). Im glad they didn't go full N-1, when it comes to the second stage. Speaking of rocket engines on the Saturn, some Moon Hoaxies believe the Saturn V F-1 engines had H-1 engines hidden under the nozzle. I know, doesn't make a single but off sence, but it is kind of related to the topic we are talking about here, but it isn't related to the topic of the thread, so how about we get back on track .
  10. Not completely unexpected, there is nothing seriously in the way of the development of the BFR. Unlike Falcon Heavy, wich had to wait untill the first landing. Note how Falcon Heavy was supposed to launch 2-3 years after the announcment, and although Falcon Heavy was delayed for 5 years, it still launched 2-3 years after the first landing of the Falcon 9, wich was in the way of Falcon Heavy at the time. I don't think Elon Time is that big of a problem when it comes to the development. Maybe the first orbital launch gets delayed by 1-2 years, but i don't expect things to be too drastic. Im still a bit skeptical about the Mars, Moon, and Earth missions however.
  11. Odd. Really odd choice, Wherner. You'd they would call their biggest rocket the Jupiter. NASA had a really messy naming scheme. Was Wherner in charge of the naming scheme? He probably was really uncertain of what his biggest rocket would be .
  12. I like that kind of music too, you also listen to Pink Floyd ....OH WHOOP
  13. I can just tell from your drawings that you like listening to Synthwave
  14. We don't call the Saturn I a Redstone rocket, because they are two completely different rockets with completely different capabilities, and just because they use they happend to use the same fuel tanks in the stage, doesn't mean they are of the same family. The rockets, along with all the other projects are likely not named after the planets, but the mythological figures. Note how all the other projects (Apollo, Gemini, Centaur, Ares, Juno, Orion, Atlas, et cetera) are named after mythological figures too. You would think that if they name it after the planets, they would do it in some kind of order, (Apollo > Mercury > Venus > Terra > Mars, et cetera) but they didn't.
  15. Im considering making a YouTube series. Its going to be a little different than what you usually see.

    To the solar system, we humans aren't much different than a disease is to us.
  18. Good luck! Anyways, went to get a new sketchbook today. This time i got an A5 sized one instead of an A4 sized one. So i can carry it around easier, and i don't have to carry my bigger bag around wherever i go. I also went to McDonalds, surpisingly cheap. I can grab a small coke and a hamburger for €2.10, wich is not a bad price. I think i found myself a new Friday meal! Im out at 12:20 on Friday too, so when i go to McDonalds, it should be relatively calm. My Previous Friday meal was a Spicy Chicken Panini and a Regular can of coke, wich cost €3.70 in total, and i usually had another €1.- vending machine snack with that. I used to have a 2 hour break, in school that i used to spend time with friends, but because if a schedule change, that is not happending no more.
  19. Can we use hydraulic fluids (water) to dampen G-forces on the human body, when, aerobraking/acceleration at high speeds?
  20. I haven't done that yet, i don't have a small enough screwdriver for that. I still need to find a small screwdriver. EDIT: I thought about repairing the thing and.... wow? A soldering device for only 12.99?
  21. I think the best solution is to buy a new pair, and just live without Internet for a few months, can't be that hard.
  22. I tried diferent power outlets and it still is not working, im pretty sure the problem is in the adapter.
