ladies and gentlemen, may i present, the riddle Graceful in the sky, Metallic and Beautiful Mostly retired, yet new again still known by Name One of us was a tragedy lifted by air, but with a frame powered by propellers there is still no equal What am I?

shhhh i am thinking about it and moving words around to make it harder to get

Ill post one much later today

ah Cantab already guessed CPU fan, so the more general Cooling fan?

or is it just the CPU?

is it a hard drive?

a record? it seems that it is something that revolves becasue the outter portion is moving while the center is not...

xeno the kavoshgar missions are the "manned" missions right? or at least the precursors to the manned missions right?

ethanadams... no

Ugh there are now 3d PLASTIC printers... Shapeways has one (only available to their testers right now) that do color... which would be much more durable

It looks like it is the colored sandstone...

Hrm what are the two different landing modes for (non abort)

just a question (i use the SKIDS as LG) could you up the friction on them quite a bit? or have it tweakable

Thread closed. if you want proofs on how area is calculated for circles look up rigorous mathematical proofs. Also as per community rules, please do not call other users out.

Just a note about heat shielding... the body shape AFTER the HS does not really matter for heating purposes... it does matter for Aerodynamics but not so much for heating, now they might need to coat the back body with some type of ablative but it will not have as much heat flux

As Red has already said, try not to talk about the political aspects of the space program. Yes a rocket can have multiple payloads, and some of those might be frowned upon by certain counties in the world. But this thread is about a new country joining the man in space club on a domestic rocket, which is a HUGE achievement. on a total side note, putting stuff into orbit is a whole heck of a lot harder than just launching a rocket on a ballistic trajectory.

has then been any news released on what their heat shield is made out of?

Please note this is now one larger thread because someone posted a new topic. It is worth seeing what others have said before replying to this one.

Norpo Moderator Ninja Skills... also as SirRobert said, struts and try toning down the thrust some
