That is not a theory. Calling this a theory degrades the meaning of the term. It's an idea, and a crappy one. It's pseudoscience.

Anyone with a normal brain, who has watched thunderf00t's videos where he tears down the concept, will never ever think this is a viable thing. It's so incredibly funny how people defend this concept even after it was smashed and grinded into little pieces.

Great find! I like these videos a lot.

No, no, no and no. Xenon tetroxide in a rocket does not make a vehicle. It makes a very expensive pipe bomb.

The level of BS in this idea is over 9000.

Quickly, someone, make a video with this little critter and this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4o29VoxtsFk

This little fellow is going straight to Eve and Tylo.

These problems can not be fixed. They are fundamental, intrinsical. Look at this comedy sketch and you'll understand how stupid some people can be.

No, no machine has ever beat Turing's test. This was just a media exaggeration made for the anniversary.

I can't believe someone on KSP forum is actually trying to defend that moronic solar roadway idea.

You can attenuate the release, but you can't stop it. Also, countries in Asia don't follow that rules. China, for example, releases godawful amounts of it into the air, so that you could buy your precious solar panels for a low price (yes, it is high - it would be way higher if they were made in Europe) and pretend to care for the environment. Thing is, coal is the main thing that releases poison and CO2 into the environment. Because there's something called base load energy, which can not be substituted with wind and solar (thermal or electric) because the world is not Sim City. It's not enough to make n number of power plants of certain type. If it was, the world would not need energy experts. Also, because enough geothermal is available only in few places like Island.

Drop something (fuel tank) from 40 km down, and measure the speed on designated heights.

Yes, coal power plants release more radionuclides into the environment than nuclear power plants. That is a fact. Additionally, they release heavy metals and carcinogenic organic compounds, too.

Your general tone is right, but let me correct some of the things you've stated. First, no amount of switching switches, stupid Homers and incompetence can turn a nuclear power plant into a nuclear bomb. It is physically impossible. The worst case scenario with Western second generation reactors (standard containment, negative void coefficient, etc.) is what happened in Fukushima 1 power plant, and that's waaaaaay less worse than what happened in Chernobyl. Mind that Fukushima was rocked by a stupidly powerful earthquake and covered with like 15 m tsunami wave, which is quite frankly the worst realistic thing that could happen to a power plant, aside from getting bombed by an atomic weapon. Realistically speaking, an usual Western PWR, situated on a lake or a river, has the worst case scenario of Three Mile Island: partial core collapse and controlled release of radionuclides through the stack. A national economical problem if it happens in a country which has few power plants. Fission waste that we keep in our spent fuel pools is not a waste. It can truly be used more because most of the fuel is left inside. So they're not mostly spent fuel rods, but mostly non-spent. Only after recycling you get waste which is things like radioeuropium, radiostrontium, radiocaesium, etc. That either doesn't have to be waste, but today we don't have much use for it. It's meant to be vitrified and buried. The amounts of waste left after recycling is laughably small.

Your government in Germany has been hacked by the "green" party which is composed out of dumbasses. They're ruining your energy economy just like it was done in Italy, to the joy of France, which then sells its energy, released mostly in their fission reactors. The problem with high level waste is politically bloated and people are buying it because most of them are ignorant. Only a tiny part of the population knows the facts. Final repositories are designed to be durable for the next several thousands years or more. They aren't regular dump facilities which will leak chemicals into the ground water. But I'd like to ask you one simple question regarding the leakage after several thousands of years - why would anyone care? Don't you think we'd be more advanced by then, on the level of teraformers, so that few measly depositories would be a problem? If we become extinct, again - why would anyone care? There'd be no intelligence left on Earth, and the leakage would be very slow, lasting for another few tens of thousands of years. What? A hydrogen-exploded warehouse above the containment on a low shore and a power plant without containment run by commie imbeciles? Some examples you've got there... You should've mentioned Three Mile Island and Windscale instead. Fission is the cleanest source per unit of energy extracted, and the least leathal one, again per unit of energy extracted. It is not clean. There are no clean sources. There are dirty and less dirty sources.

I'm sure they say that. They're a corporation.

I don't watch any, ever. I don't like to cook. It's just that sometimes when I'm browsing through the channels, I see them putting "some" and "few" into their pots and I instantly get mad.

First the exact instructions, then creativity. Creativity without a foundation is chaos. If like them to say how much exactly, and then add "if you want more x-ish taste, use more y".

The game needs to tweak its appearance. Atmospheric sound enhancement should be inside the game. Complete silence is an overkill. Heavily muffled sounds, like in the mentioned mod, should be a stock thing. If you were in a capsule, or a microphone was in the probe core, you'd hear deep sounds transmitted by solids. RCS sounds, too. Reentry burning up - more shine and more realistic colors, and actual burning up like in Deadly Reentry. Ablative shields are a normal part of spaceflight. Cover up Eve in a shroud. Add more heat and pressure. Make it a hell. Remove the godawful, disgusting, gray and fat galaxy stripe that destroys the feeling of being in space and enables you to feel like you're in London. It's few minutes of work. Active light adaptation. No stars when planets and Kerbol are in the visual field. Thermometer and temperature measurement - when will it finally start working? It's not that hard. PS: Ablate from Krag's Planet Factory. At least Ablate.

For some reason I can't give you tasty rep.

I remember the time when people cooking on TV used to talk in units. "1 dcL of water, 100 g of sugar", etc. Nowdays it's "a bit of water, few spoons of sugar". What's a "bit"? How many is "few"? How large the spoon is? How full the spoon is? I'm thoroughly disturbed by such shows and I refuse to watch them. Reproducibility is the key to successful meal preparation.

Actually, they do. You don't know what kinds of coins people use. When doing such experiments, number of variables has to be kept at minimum. But let's try it, nonetheless.

The comics are sometimes too obscure, with too narrow niches, so only a dedicated few can understand them. They're usually interesting.

You obviously either didn't watch thundferf00t's video, or didn't understand it.

Trams are very cool if they're are applicable to the given city. I use them on a regular basis. I walk and I ride the public transportation. There's no need for getting a vehicle when you live in a city which is covered by such network. I don't understand the need for wanting to have your own car if your mobility is sufficient. It's an extra expense and pollutes the environment.
