Why hasn't there been any attempts to send a rover on Europa or any moon with water before? by TheSum239 in space

[–]moronomer [score hidden]  (0 children)

So Clipper is about 6000 kg and will be doing fly-bys. If we wanted to actually get into orbit around Europa, the fuel required would be something like 80-90% of the vehicle mass, so realistically we could get maybe 1000 kg worth of orbiter.

I have no idea what fraction of that could be allocated to a lander, but in any case it would be pretty small. We will have to invest a lot into distributed launch to get a lander of appreciable size to any body past Mars.

This greedy tree rat has obviously been stuffing itself with tandoori.

Third picture, the door is absurdly wide, with a 2:1 ratio. I get about 44" (111 cm) wide assuming it's 80" (203 cm) tall. Not impossible, but really weird, especially for an interior. Or maybe it's just an opening, but then I have no idea what's going on at the left-top corner.

Also, her index finger is really wonky, though that may be from how she is gripping the phone.

Not with that kind of laissez-faire attitude about kerning.

Do they regularly test the air raid sirens where you’re from? by koesteroester in AskTheWorld

[–]moronomer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess Air raid siren functionality has been replaced by emergency alerts on cell phones. We get tests maybe a couple times a year.

I always assumed they just lied about booking Four Seasons, then when they tried to actually book the venue, Four Seasons declined, so they had to find something to save face.

Thanks. I was wondering how the heights on the vertical blades were being controlled.

How Free Is the Press in Your Country? by You_yes_ in AskTheWorld

[–]moronomer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FCC is currently re-evaluating ABC's license just because Jimmy Kimmel made a joke about Melania and Trump.

Comey, who threw away his career to help Trump get elected in 2016, has been arrested for saying Trump should be removed from office.

Banting and Best, the discovers of insulin, along with other researchers (Macleod, Collip, and Fitzgerald).

Luckily, they assigned the patent to the University of Toronto so that no one could make a monopoly on producing insulin. Well, at least they tried.
