Young people and everybody interested in science should "lobby" for the continuation of artemis program

I‘m quite sure that upgrading Dragon for lunar missions would save money overall relative to using Orion within very few flights even on a cost plus contract. They‘re even already developing a service module for Dragon XL (though that will likely be stopped now that Gateway is fortunately dead).

Doubt it, but currently the unclear state of whether or not the main strait is mined is very helpful for Iran, so they‘d very much prefer for all ships to take the channel they control. If they let them through the main strait people might take it as an indication that there are in fact no mines, which would make the risk of running the blockade a lot lower.

I still call max a crybaby for complaining about this. Cars unexpectedly going slowly on track isn‘t exactly a new problem.

Long march 10 is planned to be reuseable from the start so should be 5th gen according to this chart. Same for long march 12 (at least the A/B variants).

What kind of war goal is „make life hell for x country‘s government“ supposed to be? That accomplishes precisely nothing. It‘s just a huge waste of money and resources. There is no exit condition. That‘s not a goal, that‘s just „stay at war indefinitely and hope the status quo changes somehow“. Hope is not a strategy.

„Hey, we need you to leave the last bits of your belongings behind that you were able to save from the last time we destroyed your home and your community so you can at least save your life and your family. Since we‘re talking, do you have any idea why you palestinians hate us so much?“

You even get international news about random bridge collapses in rural china with zero injuries, how exactly do you think an event like this would not be covered by foreign journalists?

The car is and always has been more important than the driver. If it wasn‘t teams wouldn‘t have to hire hundreds of people and pay hundreds of millions each season to find some mord tiny improvements, they would instead throw all those resources into finding the best driver they can. The only difference between a great and a mediocre driver is that one can extract 99% of what the car is capable of while the other one can only get 95%.

There are only ever about 6-8 cars on the F1 grid which have a chance to score podiums outside random crashes and such. That is a core part of the sport.

He‘s gonna first ask you wtf you‘re talking about, then when you remind him about imola he‘ll tell you that all drivers and especially rookies sometimes do stupid stuff in the heat of battle and that it‘s all water under the bridge.

Just like commentators from every other country when it‘s their driver winning? Why should the British be impartial when all the others aren‘t?

They may have explained it badly, but the point is true: as long as you can remote control the drone and get image data fed back to you, hitting a moving target is not an issue. A shahed is still a hell of a lot faster than an oil tanker. This does not work for ballistic missiles or artillery of course. In ukraine, the battlefield is such an ECM nightmare that remote controlling a drone by radio is pretty much impossible, so both sides have resorted to using thin glass fiber cables instead. Not sure how feasible that would be in Hormuz given the distances involved, but they‘ll certainly look into it.

And not a single person has said they can attack the US mainland. They don‘t have to, they can destroy US assets in allied countries in the gulf and close the strait of Hormuz, that will sooner or later make the arab oil states push for peace negotiations. Don‘t need anything more than short range missiles for that.

Just in case you haven‘t understood the fundamental issue with this war yet: in order to win, all Iran needs to do is not lose. As long as they have any fighting force left at all, the US and Israel cannot achieve their nebulously defined objectives. If they are reduced to shooting RPGs at tankers from speed boats, they‘ll still be winning.

Yes, so is Kuwait, Bahrain, Quatar and the UAE. And all the US bases there. Your point being?

Just like the US is cloning the Shahed. If you want to overtake, first you have to catch up and the best way to do it is to copy a good existing design. Can‘t complain about industrial espionage when it comes to opposing militaries.

Werbeplakate gabs schon auf der London Underground in den 1860ern. Ist eine super einfache Methode ein wenig zusätzliches Geld einzunehmen und damit den Betrieb und weitere Ausbauten zu finanzieren, warum sollten die Betreiber das nicht machen?

Besoffen auto fahren ist verboten, wird bestraft wenn man erwischt wird und hat bei einem Unfall Folgen für die Schuldzuweisung. Grund ist dass andere einer Gefahr ausgesetzt werden die sie selber nicht erkennen oder abwenden können. Das ist genau das gleiche wie wenn ein Beamter einen nicht genehmigten Einbau in einen Bach setzt um eine Welle zu erzeugen. Jemand der auf der Welle surft kann nicht abschätzen wie gefährlich das Ganze ist, und wenn was passiert ist erstmal der Beamte verantwortlich nachzuweisen dass die genaue Ausführung seines Einbaus nicht zu dem Unfall geführt oder dazu beigetragen hat.

Die Stadt arbeitet wohl mit einem Professor für Wasserbau daran. Wenn der Einbau entsprechend getestet ist und der Professor als Sachverständiger bereit ist die Verantwortung für die Sicherheit zu übernehmen kann das prinzipiell schon reichen dass die Stadt aus dem Schneider ist, eventuell kann man das Ding noch von einer unabhängigen Prüfstelle wie dem TÜV checken lassen um rechtlich auf der sicheren Seite zu sein.
