    For example, CANDU can apparently run on thorium, although low prices of uranium make it much less necessary on Earth.

    BTW, your CPUs are postmodern, not modern. Modern CPUs were what you had in the mid-1980s.

    Red herrings? None of those things actually compute anything. They just allowed a serial state machine to survive longer. They *also* caused the number of transistors to increase disproportionately to increases in performance.

    Active thermal management presumably includes heating, too. Remember, Tesla is selling a lot of cars in Norway.

  10. Yep. For almost any battery pack with active cooling, you could achieve the same thing by adjusting the cooling.

  11. Nuclear powered air travel?

    Using synthesized fuel, presumably.

    It will be hard enough for electricity generation to keep up with the growth rate of electric cars that we need

    Not really. Even if you limit yourself to photovoltaic installations, we currently install annually enough PV panels to enable the rollout of 35 million electric cars every year. Current wind installations seem to support a similar number of vehicles. 70M cars is what is currently being sold annually. So even today, we have enough generation growth to cover for extra electricity usage even if overnight somehow all car factories started magically producing BEV vehicles instead.

    Long before you start generating surplus hydrogen that you could use as fuel, you'll be generating hydrogen for industrial purposes. So no, it's not a dumb idea to find better ways to generate hydrogen because we need it to run our civilization anyway, even if we'll all drive BEVs.

  18. Coming from some Russian reports, the whole engine set for the five URM-1 stages on its own equates the price of the whole Proton. The propellant doesn't really have to do much with the price. (If anything, it makes the design easier, actually.)

    FTFY. :-p You're not one of the few Americans, so tough luck.

  21. To my understanding, this was more of a problem with Soyuz (the old analog avionics of Soyuz-U was Ukrainian) than with Proton. Although Angara *should* reduce Russia's dependency on Baikonur. So maybe it's more about infrastructure in case of Proton. (It has to be said that Vostochny's progress has been underwhelming so far, though, so Russia is not quite there yet.)

  22. Angara 5 will provide them with a booster that admittedly is more expensive, but on the other hand, at least it has no significant improvement in performance...wait a minute...? How was this supposed to work?

    Except I was not the one being so authoritative about "an incredibly warped and messed up slant on cpu history". Register windows and register renaming have nothing to do with speculation. Register renaming was already present on the ACS-1 in the 1960 to support dynamic instruction scheduling.
