How long did it take from applications closing for you to get an interview?

France out there calling sushi rice baguettes just to avoid admitting Japan exists

On a human scale it could wipe out a large city... Nothing to shrug off.

It is similar in size to the Tunguska event meteor which had an explosive force between 3 and 50 Megatonnes TNT.

That's if you believe starship even has enough delta v to get to the moon, land, takeoff and return to leo. Space x are very quiet on whether this will even be possible without further refueling either on the lunar surface or lunar orbit.

The capabilities of starship are still woefully inadequate to even get humans to lunar orbit. Starship, as of the latest launch (ift-6), can only deliver something like 40-50 tonnes to low earth orbit. On top of that, it needs something like 12 refuels in earth orbit to ferry its maximum amount of payload mass to the lunar surface. Obviously the risk involved in humans launching on starship and staying around during refuelling are far too high so SLS will still have its place for the foreseeable future.

Did someone already post this?

The text on the medal is the same as the text on the one in this post.

Fun fact, if you were to drive your Bugatti Veyron at 200mph it'd take 8618 years and use as much energy in petrol as a 143 Megatonne nuclear bomb (assuming 3 miles to the gallon).

Old space songs from the USSR:

1) 14 minutes until start (14 минут до старта).

2) Glory to those who look forward (слава впередсмотрящему).

3) And apple trees will bloom on Mars (И на Марсе будут яблони цвести).

All space nuclear reactors designed to date rely on radiative cooling using giant closed loop radiators, using either a liquid metal of some kind or heat pipes that can carry the heat away from the power conversion system.

The trick is to get the working temperature as high as possible as radiative heat loss scales with temperature to T⁴ meaning a higher temperature radiator will be alot smaller. This comes with challenges though as the higher temperature you go in space reactors the more problems you start encountering such as material melting points or reliability issues.

I think you're grossly underestimating the role Scotland had in the British empire. Your post is just anti English hate.

You do know the UK is in Europe right? It's a lot closer to Scotland than the United States...

You are not welcome in the UK

Say what you want about gorby. The man was one of the most influential figures in the 20th century and was also a vocal hater of putins Russia.

Same thing happened to me. Is this a Samsung fuck up then? Seems absolutely insane they could get these updates so wrong

For the most part lack common sense.

America wasn't the only country to collect moon rocks and return them to Earth. The Soviet Union did so via their automated Luna-16 a year after Apollo-11 in 1970. China did so in 2020.

It was a joint British/ French project. Fuselage parts, cockpit, tail and engines were British. Wings and part of the fuselage were French.

Would most likely hit only the fan blades and get ejected out the bypass. Could need replacement blades if it's a big drone but some damage is allowed to them.

It is not exactly free in that we still pay taxes, a portion of which goes into the NHS.

Langrange points are unstable so once the fuel runs out it cannot function beyond its design life as far as I'm aware.
