> That's fine, but are the supporters of this sure that this is the best way to do it? As I understand, this is the best way to do which we have so far. We are welcome to find a better way while we're using this approach.

I didn't have a particularly good view from 13:35 frames. TVC is a relatively simple subsystem, but it's there.

The thrust vector control (TVC) subsystem is usually considered a part of the engine. The major change the Soviet NK-33 underwent for a USA model was the addition of TVC, and the engine was named differently, so there are two engines, named

Yes, but Everest brings back less in terms of science - it's a smaller place than space. Moon was that in 1960s. Now we're talking about a McMurdo station, not a dash to the South Pole with temporary storages along the way.

The desire to fly to space can be compared with such for going to Everest, the place less hospitable than Cape York, yet having quite an interest from all sides. However, exploration of space could be way more practical than conquering the

The capabilities of my computer? I will unlikely go lower. And if I have enough need, I will shop for more capabilities. Seems logical.

Fantastic book, great story, awesome memories. Thank you, Cliff.

Why don't we have APL as the language here?

TUIs are good for users, because they don't require using mouse as much - I didn't see this argument covered.

To me it feels like the difference in positions is "this could be made better" vs. "but this is already so much better than before". Both are right. Maybe I'm missing something important so far...

You can't prove the theory by providing an agreeing example though. That for some cases they are still all show doesn't prove everything is all show.

We nevertheless have a concept of smartness and able to judge - imperfectly and subjectively - other people on this perceived dimension. Take, for example, Elon Musk in SpaceX. Elon knew enough of rocket science to assemble the early team a

Why don't you think that those successful people - or at least some of them - are also very smart?

I think a good analysis should be done with numbers in text - or oral? - form. For this video, claiming that ~70 tons/sec needs that much more powerful pumps than Shuttle engine's 500 kg/s doesn't seem to mention the fac

If the companies find a new way to make their products cheaper to produce and their services cheaper to provide - will it lead to lower prices as well?

You're sure house prices are elastic here?

So you don't buy the POV the middle class is squeezed out of existence, almost?

Soviets were world leaders in liquid fuel rocket engines. They used oxygen-rich preburners in e.g very successful line of engines starting with RD-170. It was possible decades ago. And no downplaying.

Full-flow staged combustion is a rather logical - and not even particularly useful, we're talking about small percentage points - extension of staged flow combustion, and staged combustion is a rather obvious change to open-cycle schem

ISS collects ~250 kW solar power. All of that needs eventually to be dissipated - the energy removed by communication radiowaves is small. ISS routinely handles this thermal question for decades. There is nothing magical with cooling in spa

Yes, but the point is to look for different representations, not necessarily use this specific one.
27.
by avmich 2mo ago
We can likely use different number representations for faster results. E.g. numbers in the form of coefficients to prime factors can be multipled at O(n) time, right?

No, that's not accurate.

"Their way" - some way has to be chosen, without too many back-and-forth. In addition to technical there could be other reasons to prefer a solution. Some of those reasons can't be stated - for various reasons, like privacy o
