Ah yes.... it's 2023, not 1953... small differences... now they call it "ispravitelnaya koloniya" (Corrective Labor Colony) not GULAG (Main Administration of Camps)

Small differences

Sure that is a reasonable summary of the Russian public messaging to sell the war

We know that Putin and his cronies were more interested in the power and money that comes from the economics of...

NATO and Russia have ALWAYS been touching since the creation of NATO.

NATO isn't moving East. Russian aggression has caused nation states to VOLUNTARILY join NATO out of fear of what Russia has...

Exactly. Kh-47 (Kinzahl) is an ALBM and not a cutting edge one... basically an SS-26 Iskander TBM strapped to a Foxhound or Backfire. It has a ballistic trajectory that reaches "hypersonic speeds"...

Yea if it was truly oversize then you get gate checked and pay for the checked bag if that is more than the carryon fee Frontier already collected. Getting bumped is bullshit.

I literally ran over a pair of skis that had come off a car while doing 75. How did my tires not blow.

I bet east wall is skiing very nicely today

It's a dinged up 10 year old subie. I parked at 40th and Airport for 2 weeks in Feb no issues.

2 people r/t in shuttles is $300+ and it adds about 75 minutes of transit time each direction with a...

Well my next bet is 40th and Airport PnR

Really Venus is not more sane. Let us look at the big things:

Radiation: Advantage Mars
Venus has no significant magnetic field and not a ton of atmospheric shielding at 60km altitude, so the...

How safe is the DInosaur Lots for leaving a car for 13 days?
vs the Jeffco Gov Park and Ride lot?

No. Surface pressure at Venusian surface is ~90atm, while being acidic and literally rains molten lead with a temp of 900*F. Pleasant.

But the atmo density at the surface, while thick, is only ~6%...

ISS would dissolve, melt, be crushed, then hit the ground. At no point would it float having a specific density of about 45% that of water.

The sulphuric acid zone of the Venusian atmo starts at...

I'd add that a 10% increase in Isp might get you 20% decrease in propellant mass fraction... but that's a rough estimate for SSTO. LEO dV is about 7.8kms but you pay an additional 20% toll (at least)...

On Earth, reaction mass is relatively cheap, to the point where the launch vehicle is much more expensive. That is why Elon's relatively efficient, reusable, reliable chemical rockets can reduce...

Nuclear rockets are, to me, primarily a tool for interplanetary travel. You'd start with advanced exploration of the system, send people to asteroids, Mars, and Venus, send a science colony on Mars...

What happens is that at relativistic speeds, matter acts more like radiation. Interstellar helium atom becomes an Alpha radiation particles. Electrons become beta particle radiation. The solution is...

They can withstand much more for a short period, but that is besides the point. Maximum acceleration rate is not what is holding us back in space travel, human or otherwise.

It is efficiency.

Hypersonics can be intercepted under certain circumstances. It depends on how fast the hypersonic is (Mach 5? 10? 20?), what the interceptor's capabilities are, and how close the hypersonic flight...

Sure, great for a science mission or even a science colony, but you aren't going to ever have sustainability or expansions. You can't make solar sails or power except with what your brought. No...

Once you are out of the atmo and out of the grav well, then acceleration is "more efficient" in that your dV you get to keep more of it (depending on direction of travel) as your aren't fighting drag...

Domes and lava tubes are your colony and it can be self-sustaining.

The soil and water can be remediated with energy for colony purposes.

Sure, the money is in Earth orbit. But colonies are an aspiration, with a self-sustaining colony being a long term need for a civilization that doesn't want all its eggs in one basket.

Now Russia is claiming it was a US drone attack. Maybe tomorrow it will be aliens? Maskirovka

My guess: it was an act of rebellion inside Russia and they need to deflect.

<2% attack rate... weak... rookie numbers

Most of CO seeing 40-50% increases while the high country will see 50-70% tax increases. It is so bad that fire districts have actually pulled some mill levy increases off the ballot this coming...
