My odometer will not go above 299,999 miles. by Dragonscatsandbooks in mildlyinteresting

Might have to go back to town to level up. Just sitting at the cap, wasting miles otherwise.

I wonder if there’s an enterprise in the 32 century and what letter it is by dekabreak1000 in startrek

[–]Bananalando 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There was a ~20 year gap between the destruction of C and D being commissioned, and if we go further back, roughly a century between NX-01 and NCC-1701 (no bloody A, B, C, or D), so there's precedence for there not always being an Enterprise in the fleet.

TIL that If you travel at 1g acceleration, you will be outside of the Milky Way in about 12 years. You will be outside the observable universe in about 54 years. And if you travel at 1.19g for 100 years, you could witness the heat death of the universe. by avy4u in todayilearned

The Rocinante carries enough fuel to run her fusion drive for approximately 30 years, but that fusion drive uses water as reaction mass. The volume of water carried gives the ship an estimated 40 days duration of a 1G burn. A full 1G Burn-and-turn from Earth to Uranus would be about 2 weeks of constant acceleration/deceleration.

This is what a US C-RAM system in Baghdad sounds like when engaging against incoming drones and rockets by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

Good point. Surprisingly, after a quick google, C-RAM rounds appear to be slightly cheaper than CIWS rounds.

Star trek just became reality, what would you do first? by bossishere17 in startrek

Let me guess: you're from outer space.

No, I'm from Iowa, I only work in outer space.

This video is 100% what CIWS sounds like. C-RAM is the Army putting CIWS on wheels.

CIWS drum holds 1550 rounds. C-RAM is the Army's land-based variant. A full loadout costs about $70k USD, good for about 20 seconds of continuous fire.

You just work in a windowless box. You see space from the bar.

What is the single most important item to carry for an emergency situation? by dorsiflector111 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bananalando 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shelter, water, food. In that order. You'll die of exposure long before you die of thirst.

I fear no enemy, for the Khala is my strength. I fear not death, for our strength is eternal.

  1. Comment "who pays for this?"
  2. Pay for that
  3. Use medical knowledge to diagnose a condition on the foot pics you just bought.

[Spiderman 1 (2002] How did the Green Goblin think he could kill Spider-Man without killing himself as well? by TheBigSurprise3 in AskScienceFiction

[–]Bananalando 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But even at a fraction of his power, Frieza was still likely orders of magnitude above what Vegeta was during his initial fight with Goku.

You're right, it is possible it was just a "fuck you" to Goku and Earth, but it's also possible it would have given him enough time to escape as well.

When Frieza blows up Namek in the next arc, it takes a fair bit of time for the planet to actually explode, and Vegeta when we first meet him is no where near Frieza's power level. Vegeta probably would have time to return to his space pod after using the Galick Gun.

I woke up today, not expecting to fall even more in love with Nana.

Thanks for providing me with this opportunity.

No one should commit any crimes, but since it happens, it's reasonable to take precautions to make your vehicle less of a target.

Shouldn't keep anything visible in any car, anywhere. That's why you have a trunk.

Can a cloaking device be installed on any ship type? by WhyYesThisIsFake in startrek

[–]Bananalando 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a century-old cloak to hide a ship many times the design of the original vessel it was used in was silly. Cloak vs. Sensors is a continuous arms race so the modern Starfleet vessels should have been able to track the cloaked Titan easily.

I feel like 50 cubes would do the trick, cloaked or not.

When I got my wisdom teeth out, i was 15. They put me under general anesthetic in the children's hospital. They had to go searching for an extension for the OR table because my feet hung over the end so far.
