  1. Nitrogen level is so high halve it would not have significant impact, its like high attitude and here oxygen is the main issue For plants CO2 is an limit in an greenhouse environment, but very high levels is toxic to animals, high oxygen levels makes fires more likely who will balance it.
  2. I don't agree, but you have some points. If you are teen / young adult hanging out with friends they are a thing. And IMax is nice, but having an good TV the option to pause because bio or getting beer is nicer I say. Movie theaters will never recover to before the pandemic I estimate. It broke habits not only for consumers but the studios now have streaming services who they has to feed. Family with kids, wait a month or two and its on streaming And the quality issue and originality is the elephant in the room, an lack to try new content, Barbie and Oppenheimer did well, Avatar 2 in franchise who is fresh today with endless rehashes, until you splat it with the cost Blue whale. Add the strike and this year will be bleak.
  3. Remember that the theater take around half the ticket price too. A bit less for blockbusters I think.
  4. I assume these sort of cages is to defend against drones or drone dropped weapons. The more sturdy ones is for defense against RPG or on top mortar type anti tank weapons.
  5. To some degree, but remember the movie cost does not include advertising and movie theaters take an huge cut, so if movie cost 100 million and brings in 300 you not making an huge profit, might even loose on it. If it brings 150 million you will go in the red. Cost is to high and audience know the film will come on streaming soon.
  6. Just 7 times stronger? I would expect orders of magnitude as this just disturbed some radio not generating significant electricity in telegraph wires. Now it might be that power cables will not be significantly impacted as they already carry high voltage and current. Signal cables on the other hand is.
  7. This, its very rare for large public traded companies to assassinate someone, as it who would sign that order? Same with direct damaging an competitor equipment. And if your told to sign you ask for an order to do so. Now it can be people lower down covering their wrongdoings.
  8. Red dragon was set up without an orbital return system but direct return from Mars surface as I understand, so the return rocket was more like an large tactical missile than an anti tank missile. Now launching an second rocket for the orbital module is an option and cheaper than SLS. But it also have development time, benefit is less mass restrictions, like use multiple helicopters for redundancy
  9. I'm more concerned about burning trough. That is unless this is damage from capsule hit water but then it would not been an concern. Don't they have boiler plates from parachute tests? Granted its not space rated, and this need all the flight systems including RCS for fine control coming back. And that trajectory reminds me of an KSP 2 mission, Mun free return but I had 3 km/s in upper stage who I burned to simulate an high speed Kerbin intercept. It worked.
  10. Wait are propane tanks banned in Pakistan? Why, has seen wending machines for them here in Norway and we mostly use it for grilling. Now propane tanks hold an pressure so the gas is liquid, while I assume the pipes is mostly methane and under moderate pressure, say 10 bar and you are just makeing an hole in the pipe so the best you can do is fill up an large balloon.
  11. LOL for reference but obsidian is sharp not hard, sill its an material I did not existed outside Earth or earth like planets for reasons
  12. I totally agree, had another post above that Moonship was oversize for the initial landings. Now I would use another Moonship with an orbital module for the orbital moon station, it would be an fuel depot and even an rescue ship. But the BO lander is probably more practical but might likely more expensive / slower, SpaceX is testing Starship. Yes New Glen is less ambitions but its not SS more like falcon heavy as I understand. So you use your 18 wheel truck to buy an burger as its cheaper / faster than other options like taxi or meal delivery services. You obviously want SS for the base, they should also be pretty easy to turn into base modules. Then the talk ISRU and hydrolox become more relevant again.
  13. Now this is impressive, but I guess some cheating because of parked cars who might stay for 0.1-4 hours
  14. Its changes current status who is probably bad for your even if an hotter earth with more oxygen have an much richer ecosystem. Return of the dog sized spiders and ants is one effect.
  15. Well if civilization / industrialization was 10.000 year earlier we would have an climate crisis even without global warming, because the end of the ice age, but it would be an added factor. And they would have sea level rises who is not an serious climate change issue, but it would still be slow back then as in hundreds of years before effects except special cases. Switching from charcoal to fossil coal in the 19't century was an huge environmental benefit as it stopped deforestation, same as switching from coal to gas in the US. But the obvious solution is to build more nuclear plants, yes they have problems but they are pretty local and something you can build around.
  16. Use the centaur as an crasher stage, land with the accent stage, leaving behind the landing legs and other landing equipment is needed or have and docking system for an partial reusable lander, you need to refuel and restock it. As for the Starship lander, why does the top looks like an Starship? Why not just use an fairing drop it and expand stuff like the lift and landing engines in LEO? And its too large for an 4 man crew? Make it lightweight, and 2-3 decks+ cargo bay. Even this is lavish, dual air locks, cleaning zones, an workshop, and multiple labs, individual cabins. Bathroom with an shower, it should work well at moon gravity. Later replace it with an more capable one, keep the other around the moon as an gateway station and an fuel depot and as an rescue craft if lander 2 can not reach orbit.
  17. Except its plenty of stuff its very hard to make robots to do. Why has nobody made an remote operated EVA robot? Astronauts are clumsy in the suits anyway. To take images or point an laser at rocks, sure robots are much cheaper. Drill 20 meter down on the moon and collect core samples? at multiple locations
  18. Only the top layer of the ocean is above 4 centigrade. Its an effect you know from swimming in places with winters, especially lakes as the top one meter is significantly warmer, doing scuba its get colder 20 meter down even in Egypt or Florida so an wet suit is standard. It has been ideas of using the temperature difference between the deep ocean and the top to generate power but the height difference require to much power.
  19. Plenty of bugs left, one common one for me is falling trough the ground after time warp on the ground on wheels or legs on bodies with no atmosphere. I entered an underground orbit at Minmus once, just braking a bit and then burn sideways to raise Pe, however probe was tagged as landed so I could not leave it. Another one is that using wheels on many discoverables will make you jump as crazy, it happened twice at Moho, first time I managed to recover, but landing on the moheart, my manned lander was damaged and tipped over. Luckily I had an second lander there, I landed unmanned on first mission but that lander had an seat and enough dV to reach orbit. Problem was getting to it, it was pitch dark so I had to install an headlamp mod to see anything, Old lander used the small landing legs who did not jump but it had slid off the discoverable object. I came out of the hole at significant speed
  20. This was the first release version who was legendary bugged to the level that KSC could follow you up into space
  21. Note that the KSP 2 steam page is not updated. If they shut down KSP completely, I thing they would be required to update the page.
  22. To an degree, Non-compete clause is that you can not work in the same field as you was employed in the same company. It make some sense on the CEO level and going to an competing company, but not for other fields like game development as its their skill.
  23. Note that the Steam page for KSP 2 is not changed so this argument is still valid. Not for people who bought it earlier but people who buys is after development stopped. Granted its an playable game but not that is promised.
  24. Note that KSP 2 is still for sale at Steam as early access with the original road map up, just marked the first two as done. https://store.steampowered.com/app/954850/Kerbal_Space_Program_2/ If development has stopped or will stop after a few months that is an fraud as T2 know the game road map will not be finished. Yes the road map is not legally binding but I think that having it up after knowing it will not be finished is different.
  25. Honestly I got far more than 50 hours out of it then I got issues, half was my own Now I waited to after the science update to get it, feel this is then they was on the right track, still buggy, more so than KSP 1 as in bugs who kill you.
