thats a fucking lie. that is computer animation, just with real still photos overlaid for the texture. you cant wave some still photos around like that and pretend its actual sequences of photos strung together in a film without people calling you out on your bullshit.
what a string of babbling bullshit. you strike me as the sort of person who thinks if they talk for long enough, they will turn into something more than a fucking idiot.
if nasa funded manned falcon 9s, they are what, 50 million a flight, and 7 seats? so, thats a saving of at least half a billion dollars, using an american launch system to boot.
could not have been planned for? could not plan for a tsunami, a word invented in the country the reactor is on the coast of, a coast off which lies a major fault line that has spawned devestating tsunamis and earthquakes in the past?
never was so much spent to put so little into space so riskily as with the shuttle. bye bye. and dont let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. time to bring back something akin to the saturn v. it cost about the same as the shuttle, and put 6 times the payload into orbit, without a single failure, all before the shuttles time. falcon XX would be about right
i think you mean they can sell good speeds to everyone by "fucking lying like the lying bastards they are". and connecting you to "kinda sorta parts of the internet that we approve of" and you are right. bandwidth isnt free, which is why people *buy* the internet service that is *advertised*, and anything else is theft by deception. what we call 'fraud'
you think the launch loop is a good idea because you have no idea just how chaotic a system a cable, being accelerated through a curve at some very high mach number, is. and the most minor of wobbles is enough to crash it into the sheathing and kaboom. not to mention sending something along it, that is magnetically suspended close to it. and the wear from flexing at those speeds, and the heating, and having a flexible tube in which it can be magnetically suspended in as it passes through it. a tube that must also maintain a vacuum. and a myriad of other near impossible obstacles.
second nosecone failure in a row... man. im no rocket scientist, but im pretty sure thats like, what, a few explosive bolts, something that detects main engine cutoff, with a timer backup? its not like its the fucking guidance system.
skylab solved that shit with a bit of foil out a port when the main shade failed to deploy. in a few days. so i dont think its gonna be as much of a problem as you think. its all radiative heat.
yeah, by the way, did you hear spacex just opened some offices in washington? elon musk is just as ready to play the game as the rest. and its about time i say.
dont forget the soyuz and long march are made by engineers being payed itty bitty chinese and russian dollars compared to the u.s. engineers who make the falcon.
well its more the rocket is pulling the hose directly behind it as it ascends, with powerful pumps pumping liquid hydrogen into the bottom of the hose, as it is pulled up from a large coil laid around the lauch pad. then it is detached from the rocket end at 10 km or some similar height. im curious as to how the tensile strength of kevlar would hold up to that. 10km of hose by about 1 kg per meter of hose is about 10 tonnes. that dosent seem infeasible.
ive always wondered if this sort of thing could be scaled up to pump high pressure hydrogen or oxygen up a hose attached to a rocket as its taking off for the first 10-20 km of its flight. or maybe a superconducting cable, or just pressured air for extra thrust. then the hose breaks away, and splashes down in the ocean
ive never seen equations abused in such a manner. you completely ignore the mass of fuel that you dont have to accelerate along with the rocket in order to get it to, say, mach 6 out the end of a launch rail.
you would think so, but thats because you havent put any thought into it whatsoever. do you know how difficult it would be to keep a cable going at mach 25, inside a flexible sheath, without it touching the sides? fucking impossible.

what they need is a Somebody Elses Problem field.

you can go into the fine detail to try and save face as much as you want, but that fucker exploded. the shuttle was a badly designed spacecraft.

8pm? what goddamn business is it of the government where your child is at 8pm? not that the rest of it isnt bad enough.
somehow i dont think having a competent printer queue needs an extra 196mb of driver
actully i believe most of the brain cells in your brain stay with you your entire life.

cool sunk costs fallacy bro.

what sort of electric field would having a set of headphones on generate?
ive never seen equations abused in such a manner. you completely ignore the mass of fuel that you dont have to accelerate along with the rocket in order to get it to, say, mach 6 out the end of a launch rail.
we need a rail assisted ssto rocket. the rail should give the extra boost needed to make ssto feasible.
you would think so, but thats because you havent put any thought into it whatsoever. do you know how difficult it would be to keep a cable going at mach 25, inside a flexible sheath, without it touching the sides? fucking impossible.
