Even in the 1990ies the German economy was by far the strongest of the European Union http://ec.europa.eu/environmen... so you are either a liar or an idiot. Since you have outed yourself as a Trump fanboi, you are probably both. as for Italy, here you go http://www.money-go-round.eu/C... always a net payer my arse.
Not really. Most German technology went to the USA, the Soviets received only scraps so they had to design their own missiles after 1949. By the time of Sputnik the only thing left from German technologies was using hydrogen peroxide in the gas generator to drive the turbopumps. Everything developed in the 1960ies and later was fully independent.
The Soviet Union went from a country a century behind the developed world to launching the first man into space in just 45 years, despite it losing a fifth of its population and a large part of its infrastructure in a war of extermination. So much for that.
Ariane 6 is going to have the same configuration. The most probable cause is that both SpaceX and Blue Origin aren't experienced enough to use either solid fuel boosters or hydrogen fuel. My speculation is that they have employed a lot of ex-USSR aerospace engineers who aren't accustomed to either and both companies simply don't have a technological base that is required for liquid hydrogen - it is after all notoriusly diffcult, one only has to read about the Energia launcher development to see why.
For a country that is, as you insist, military agressive for free speech and human rights, it has supported way too many dictators who were against both. I judge by the deeds, not words.
You are confusing cause and effect. The whole base load thing became necessary because coal power stations couldn't follow the load and coal used to be the easiest way to add power generation after hydroelectric stations were built everywhere where it was possible. Take coal and nuclear power stations out of the equation and base load will immediately lose its relevance.
It has nothing to do with power. Electric arc furnaces work fine, but unless steel is recycled it has to be made anew from iron ore, and that requires carbon, either by the way of a blast furnace and coke (which is made from coal) or direct reduction, which requires either coal syngas or natural gas.
They were pressured by both USA and USSR to do that and were provided with vaccines by both as well. One of these countries doesn't exist anymore and the other doesn't give a shit.
The Russians are a strange bunch in this matter. On the one hand many of them are right wing religious nuts, on the other hand the very same people glorify the soviet past which was neither. I sort of understand where it is coming from, but it is strange nonetheless.
This wikipedia definition contradicts itself. It calls a turbofan a jet engine but a modern turbofan generates thrust with the fan and the whole compressor-combustor-turbine setup is there to drive the fan. But like I said, an electrical jet engine is perfectly possible, and in many different ways. The stupidest version would be very much the same as a turbojet, only without fuel lines and the combustor replaced with electric heating. This is incidentally how a nuclear jet engine works, with the difference that it heats air directly. The more efficient variant would lose the turbomachinery and drive the compressor electrically. There is also a third variant, it works by electrically accelerating the reaction mass. Ion thrusters work that way, and they are already in use in spacecraft propulsion. None of these variants involves burning propellant, it is just the most practical way to add heat to a heat engine, that's all.
Wrong. Burning anything is not required for a jet engine and an electrical jet engine is perfectly possible, just not practical because the air in the engine core would have to be heated electrically to add pressure.
So you are saying that they should have been mothballed even before the predecessor of its predecessor had its first flight? How is that even possible?

your logic is flawed - a mass production facility is not required for prototyping.

Italy has received a lot of EU money in the past. Them becoming a net payer is a relatively recent occurrence.
look up Lori Linstruth or Nori Bucci on YouTube.

And yet Ariane 5 has both solid rocket boosters and a H2/LOX fist stage.

Thanks, I'll check that one out.
Sounds like mobster logic to me. Besides, only an American would see learning foreign languages as a bad thing.
Any good SF anime released recently?
Except the last time that money was used for defence was over 70 years ago.

Oh, I wish people had fewer cars here as well.
Some less known actors get many voice actor roles because of their distinctive voices. Example: Elias Toufexis
It has worked extremly well. The majority of gadgets nowadays - and not just phones - use micro-USB for charging.
They were pressured by both USA and USSR to do that and were provided with vaccines by both as well. One of these countries doesn't exist anymore and the other doesn't give a shit.

Poison pax is - even though people should know better - still widely consumed in Eastern Europe.
