Well it's either that or tumors...with the centers being microchips. At least it happens to pets I have read. Keeping up with the Joneses eh? Or should I say.....don't want me to say it? Aw well...I will anyway! Musk! Which is kind of impressive no? Countries be like, "We gotta keep up with Musk!" Not, "We gotta keep up with this or that country." Just Musk LOL.

But the whole slew of articles where nuclear scientists gushed to Putin that SQUID magnetometers can read minds was extremely amusing...

Well, I'm not surprised that methods for optimizing production flow for making large holes in sheet-metal work also fairly well for making tiny holes people.

kerbiloid Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Which one exactly? There were some videos about the fast objects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOXBLOX Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence requested a report from the DNI and the DoD on UFOs. It was released today after being anticipated (and hyped) for a while. We've had a lot of suspicious sightings over here which are likely drones and balloons from our friends in Beijing, come to benevolently observe our military's operations. It appeared no one in the chain of command was paying attention, so the Senate said, "Do something!" This report is the result. I don't think there's a Russian translation... Or a Chinese one.

sevenperforce Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 So here’s a question. Suppose you had a clustered rocket like the Electron or Falcon 9, set up as a sustainer stage. Could you start out with the engines gimbals pointed straight down and then gradually gimbal the engines inward to approximate an aerospike/altitude-compensating nozzle?

I do not pretend to know as much as some...and that includes you, but sadly I think the answer is no. I mean it would be great if it were that simple. I even wish it was. The problem is that rocket exhaust is expandy messy stuff, and as it goes higher I think it will flare out more than an aerospilke, simply because an aerospike is a lot tighter than plumes that want to flare out anyway.

I'm someone who enjoys really out of the way places - and now that I'm older, being able to drive in (and out) sounds cool. ... 'and out' is important. Getting a 4WD tow truck to pull you out of a stupid place you have driven into is expensive.

Spacescifi Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) How much damage would a continous fired plasma beam traveling at10,000 kilometers per second do in space to the moon's surface? Ignore how you get the beam to stay compressed in space for that long. Plasma is wispy stuff, but I imagine the damage to be much the same as reentry...only beam spot size. Am I right? This is nota blast weapon, just a really good scorcher right? Edited June 27, 2021 by Spacescifi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk the gimbal angle limits of the Falcon engines, but SSME is limited with 10.5°, and others are also <= 10°. cos(10°) ~= 0.985 So, it could decrease the throttle down to (1 + 2 * 0.985) / (1 + 2) = 0.99 of max, which is just 1 percent of difference. 2 hours ago, Spacescifi said: How much damage would a continous fired plasma beam traveling at10,000 kilometers per second do in space to the moon's surface? None, until its density is enough high. A single proton is still a plasma beam. Just a little one. Edited June 27, 2021 by kerbiloid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ion engine doesn't damage the test building. Its thrust is in millinewtons at the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
