Civil War? Ha

Also after checking the internet for my rocket I noticed that it weighs only 113 grammes Maybe I'll settle for an F motor, since apparently it has enough kick with a C6-3 to go up over 1000 feet :-)

Ok thanks I'll give it a go

Most people after downloading 0.23 probably broke out the RAPIER engine to test it out, I didn't however, because I had a cunning plan to build something delicate with the new tweakables system. Here it is:cool: It flies excellently, doesn't have a very complex start up procedure and is 121 parts last I checked. Problem: The Main tank fuel must be monitored closely by the pilot or the shuttle will being a spin of death around it's new COG (centre of gravity), once this happens death will certainly follow for the whole crew. The Challenge: Keep the fuel ratio in the 2 orange tanks (which make up the external tank) exactly the same throughout the flight using fuel loops. What I would really like is if someone could rig it so that the fuel drains from both tanks at the same time and at the same rate NOTE: I know that fuel adjustment may be necessary but if there is a way to take some of the micromanagement out of it,that would be great Also I'm not releasing the craft file because a test rig with a 2 tank external tank and an engine should do fine in replicating the fuel flow dynamics at play here.

Forgot to compliment the original poster on his perfect flight, There are so few high quality cameras on rockets, I enjoyed your little clip better than the hull cam on the Chang'e 3 I wish I had time and more clement weather (-6 C right now and snowy) for launching rockets of my own Only ever owned one rocket, when I was a kid my dad got me an estes rocket which ran on C3-6's Mine is still in the basement, I was looking it over the other day thinking thoughts about gutting the motor hold down and friction fitting a G motor muhahaha!

I don't know too much about the specifics of homebuilt motors but I did out of curiosity look up some videos of how to make them Someone suggested that the nozzle be made with "putty" the kind of stuff which some people are driven to repair dents in their cars with He suggested that you sand the inside of the PVC pipe motor casing and apply the putty to the inside of the PVC (after you put the grain in) He said that you can use a 1/4 inch dowel or something to make a rudimentary nozzle and that for a short span of time you can shape the nozzle to your preference after the exhaust outlet has been established. Don't take my word for it though, what you do with your own fingers is your own biz, and I'm not liable (Insert More legal boilerplate as necessary here) Edit: Just so you know, in the video he lit one of these things and I noticed the PVC piping was glowing orange and expanding slightly under the pressure Also God only knows how you will come up with a chute ejection system with one of these things, that's the part which worries me most, that you would have to rely on an altimeter or a timer and not have the failsafe of the blast cap at the end of the rocket motor to push out the chute.

Bop, and there is a good reason why nobody talks about it, it's just a brown clod of dirt with nothing interesting on it except the kraken's corpse which I have never bothered to look for, because the moon itself gets me down so much basically it needs an upgrade (fortunately it's too small to be a real eyesore so I can live with it)

Backfilled

I throw you in chains and build a museum of silliness on the hill, carefully preserving the scenes of ridiculousness and madness Museum's Hill

Granted but cannibals take the opportunity to turn up the temperature of the bath to 450 F, and cover you in a bread like substance and egg yokes I wish that I could buy an R-7 Soyuz on kijiji

I convince Mayor Rob Ford that you have a prescription for Oxycontin, you fail to convince him otherwise The rest is history

I notice some of your tank sticking out of the hill so I put a large shaped charge on the hull and detonate it, I take the rest of the tank and sell it on ebay as a garden ornament I use the proceeds to build a high power anti-missile laser bunker on the dilapidated remains of the hill My pock marked war zone and tank with a garden gnome crew

Granted but you cease to understand what you wished for, just like me… I wish for 10 more wishes

I fire an anti-sat missile at China's rover, debris from the explosion is sent on a retrograde path towards the earth and levels the hill and the maoists on it NASA builds the SLS launchpad on the hill

Granted it's 1 Zimbabwean dollar, worth $0.0000000000000001 american I wish I were more original at wishing

Granted but your office space is 5x5 pixels I wish to be independently wealthy

Banned for banning the poster who was banned by me And your still all banned for your 614 page server memory assaulting DOS attack

You're all banned for creating 614 pages of this s***!

I liked mine better, cause it makes it seem more like the way universes are born is just God's personal youtube stream of funny ****

Here's my math Given infinite space + infinite time = an infinite number of totally messed up and unexpected things will happen Also Given that God = true, Therefore God will find the results of the above equation [EDIT: infinitely] hilarious

Oxidizer says it right in the name, there is really only one "oxidizer" oxygen (don't shoot me on this I know that other things can decompose metals and other such) therefore I say that "oxygen is the only oxidizer" in quotes Iron oxide if I remember anything from chemistry is Fe, O3? I think? There can be catalysts to this process but oxide just simply denotes that an element has been compounded with oxygen. Oxygen gives it's name to the term oxidizer because it is so reactive that it binds to almost everything, to put this in context, if I had in front of me a sealed bottle (unlabeled and mean looking), I would not open it to the air with a 50ft long pole if I could help it. In some cases chemicals will be labeled with a diamond shaped sign which looks like a burning ball, this indicates that opening it = death, dismemberment or 3rd degree burns. So yes oxygen is extremely reactive, which is probably why we breath it, since it carries a ton of energy, and iron oxide literally means iron + oxygen.

How about using the fancy new solid rocket boosters which are coming out with the 105t to LEO SLS Block II configuration? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Launch_System#Boosters That ought to kick performance up a heap.

True but not loans in our sense of the word, there was too little security in society for this kind of thing, think invading armies and exorbitant interest charged by private individuals (loan sharks). The reason why this kind of thing need happened at a large scale is because there was little social security back then, i.e. you couldn't be sure much of the time if the bank would be there when you went to get your money back. Because of this fear, banking in the modern sense did not exist, in ancient Greece for instance Greeks would deposit gold and valuables at sacred sites because religious fears were the only way of insuring that you would not be stolen from or that an invading army wouldn't raid your bank. Basically my point was that seemingly inane developments like renaissance banking actually had a wealth concentrating effect which was potent enough to kick start the modern world. It's not unrelated to the Saturn V since the Saturn V took lots of money and the technology level of the modern world to build, something which wouldn't have been possible without modern banking and modern nation states, so it's not unrelated at all. Also sorry for suggesting that you were a marxist, you just left an awful lot unmentioned about what you were trying to say and you lead me to believe that you were suggesting that 2 ships hitting one another caused a large non nuclear explosion, as I know that this has happened at one time in history. Some twisted piece of metal probably became a suborbital after this one... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_Explosion

First off, how puerile, second off explosions don't send anything into space not even atomics, and thirdly you can't compare a disaster to an innovation, just because you and your soviet mentality say that banking is no good, how about you go enjoy living in a squalid hut without the computer which you used to disseminate this crud! Cause that's life without banking!

Are they? I could have sworn that all the planets have a tilt parallel to the Sun's north south axis Darn
