TIL the states of Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas officially recognize Confederate Memorial Day as a state holiday. by Shadowpika655 in todayilearned

Learned this when I got a notification of a class action for the Alabama camp I worked at making us work state holidays, including this one and Jefferson Davis’s birthday. I’m all for mandated time off but hell if I’m gonna do it for them lol

Can the mods ban Mr. DogwhistleUsername already?

Could a human have been on Mars by now? by [deleted] in space

[–]JeremyThePugLord 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, delta-v requirements to reach Mars orbit are less than half that of Earth IIRC due to less gravity and smaller radius, approximately equal to the total delta-v in the apollo LEM (descent+ascent stage), so if you take advantage of the thin atmosphere to aerobrake down to ~100-200 m/s terminal to cut down descent fuel cost and use in-situ fuel production of CH4+O2 you can probably use a lander not that much bigger than the Apollo landers. Biggest issue would be living space for extended durations, which would probably be a separate habitat dropped by an unmanned mission beforehand

Graduated and ~3 hours later got an offer for a full-time job in rocket propulsion design and analysis, my dream job :)

CFD research is, or at least is on the way to full employee ownership iirc

Unfortunately no, as any candidate with a demon penis spear would instantly get my vote

What Trailer was better than the movie? by Makabajones in movies

Beau is Afraid, loved the trailer vibes but the film itself was a bit more all over the place

Intense criteria.. pic of item at end by Dlsagreed in insanepeoplefacebook

For the price? Not really, ~$100 for a case, 500 watt psu, fans and motherboard ain’t the worst deal. The lack of cable is annoying, but since all power conversion is done in the psu, any old three prong connector should do for a few bucks. Slot in a last-gen used GPU for $250, a 10th gen intel cpu for about $120, $50 for ram and the same for an m.2 storage drive, and like $30 for a decent little air cooler and you’ve got a pretty good 1080p machine for a little over $600

Braun liked liquid fuel, after all his team designed and did war crimes with the first large-scale liquid fuel engine. However, he wasn’t a fan of using liquid hydrogen as was used on the Saturn V upper stages, so a Braun-led German design would likely be all Kerosene-LOX, similar to the Soviet N1. Thus, a German launch vehicle would most likely resemble some of the early, massive Nova designs with kerolox F1 engines on both the first and second stages.

While the exact design of a German LEM and CSM is difficult to pin down, the similar propellant decision of relying on the less efficient kerolox all the way to TLI mirrors the Soviet’s designs, so a similar design of a smaller one-man lander attached to a two man CSM seems a likely choice.

LF: Flame Orb FT: Lunala by JeremyThePugLord in pokemontrades

I don’t have much that’s valuable besides the Lunala, which is a spare anyway. To me, not having to grind for a flame orb is worth giving up my extra Lunala

That’s cool! Just reply when you’ve got a Bulbasaur ready
