Yup, that whole Mir thing was just a collective hallucination.

There was no issue in the USSR, certainly, but now they have to get permission from, and give compensation to, the Khazak government. That's why Vostochny is being built in Russian territory to replace it.

Zond was simply a Soyuz varaint, and was only for the flyby program. The landings would have used the 7K-LOK version with the standard layout. Why not? Soyuz did, as you just pointed out, and LM-5 should be good bit more powerful than the c. 1970 versions of Proton.

They already plan to. In fact, they plan to retire the rocket it's launching on along with it.

They wouldn't learn anything by doing this they couldn't with tiangong, and there's nobody to beat there; what'd be the point?

What tests? They've only just been able to build a pre-cooler, they've never produced a full SABRE cycle engine at any scale.

You could say the same thing about Falcon 9, or Soyuz. Payload capability is the entire point.

I think it's pretty well-established the CRT pre-dates the discovery of the electron, given it was used to discover the electron.

The discovery of the electron long post-dates the widespread use of electronic devices.

Neither of those would fall under astrophysics.

Multiple religions are fine. You just need to state what they actually are, and what influences they'll actually have had. 'Mixed religions' on it's own is completely meaningless.

Well, those 'diverse religions' will have effected the society of your nation. I'm not saying you need to have a government religion, I specifically said earlier state atheist or secular governments are just fine. The issue simply is that there's more to a nation than it's current government. The USSR might well have been state atheist, that didn't prevent many of the people from being influenced, many of them heavily by the teachings of eastern orthodox christianity, whether they were actually religious or not.

All real societies have been influenced by religion, you might as well by asking for one that hasn't been influenced by history.

Again, 'religion' is religion that have had major effects on the society. Nation and government are not synonymous.

The religion thing is intended as cultural background, what's important is the effect on society. 'State atheist, majority of population atheist, major past religion was blablablabla' is acceptable, 'atheist since the beginning of time' is nonsense.

That's not how IP law works. The song 'happy birthday' is sung literally hundreds of millions of times a year, in dozens of countries, very few of which would consider paying royalties to anyone; but it's still copyrighted. Regardless, the specific 'kerbin map' here doesn't pre-date the KSPRP at all, and doesn't have use outside of it; I'd know, given I made it.

Venus no intrinsic magnetic field, as it doesn't have a similar 'internal dynamo' to earth.

All fungi require complex carbon, so they're a non-starter. Lichen might be viable, but I don't know if there are any particularly radiotolerant lichen the way there are radiotolerant free-living fungi.

Blood doesn't physically travel from mother to fetus, substances diffuses across the placenta.

The connection to the monitor won't have any effect at all, it's the actual graphics output that determines the fps. You need to change the game's settings or upgrade your computer in order to make any difference.

Which doesn't have the slightest chance of going on SLS, like every other probe at any level of development. Every single reference design assumes an EELV class launcher for that reason. Powerpoints are cheap, upgrades aren't. None of these have any kind of current funding.

(Some of) NASA's plans, yes. NASA's funded plans, no. The only payload on a funded SLS mission is Orion.

Then why do mortars and guns of similar bore sizes have such radically differing ranges? And how would something like the Paris Gun be possible, given it used pretty much conventional shells?

Not to the rocket capability. We aren't even an Arianespace shareholder. And somebody else, with a much larger program.

Extremely unlikely. Boeing's scaled-up crewed X-37 concept (X-37C) received effectively no interest and was cancelled, and they're highly unlikely to restart it now they've got CST-100 well into development.
