Fun thing, some danish guys are trying to do exactly that. They are running a private space program in some sheds in the Copenhagen harbor, using mainly off-the-shelf parts and donations to keep going. As they once stated, they dont want to

It is very well possible that behaviour like This will result in massive problems in the European Union with its much more atrict privacy laws. Microsoft should ask Intel about huge fines.

Well, the thing is, nobody really needa a Wonderplane like the F-35. Yes, the Marines need a VTOL plane, but they could be developed cheaper, probably on the base of the old AV/8B. A-10 is still fine for CAS. Maybe ask the Israelis in

In the 1960s, we had some kind of the same fuckup in Germany, twice. Once the STarfighter/Lockheed affair https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-104_Starfighter#Ger... And at the moment basically the whole Bund

No. but because ALL services bet on the same plane, NOTHING else is developed. Additionally, still formidable planes like the A-10 or F-22 receive flak because the brass wants its wonderplane...

Well, the Japanese were in the attacking business pretty much, too... And sadly never accounted for their warcrimes....

Def. Not. Seen the shuttle myself, one of them sits in a german Museum. Next to a Concorde and a Tu.144.

I once visited the second biggest Radio Telescope near my home town, and one of the there Wirkung engineers mentioned that the Green Bank telescope only got a bigger aperture than the system at Effelsberg because the americans couldn't

I really like about Weber how he continuously shifts the tacrmtical and technological necessities for space combat, especially when you compare it to "real" fleet engagements and the paradigm-shifts there.

Hopefully this will finally lead to a x64 linux server, which could bring MP a big upturn.

Or maybe, we will find some prothean ruins on Ceres and Pluto is a mass relay... ;)

Just look at what the german Bundeswehr did with their Wiesel AFVs to american M1 in Wargames, and thats with 80s tech and the engine of a Volkswagen.

Thank you, I must admit modern Tanks are not really my field of expertise. If this tank works in the way it should, it should be superior to most current western Tanks, especially while most western countries phase out more and more of thei

I think they are SU-100, but I would have loved to see some more of the WW2-Veterans. But as most of them molder and rust away in a sorry state in some open air museums...

Apparently, one of the Armatas broke down during the Parade, and one of the Buk missile launchers caught fire. Admittedly, the Tank looks usable, but the question of the value of a completely new MBT is a really urgent one. Especially as th

A very interesting Article. It is basically a further explanation of the theories of Gunnar Heinsohn about young men and War.

The Martian... Just wow! I got totally hooked! And a book I would recommend to you is Enders Game and the following ones... They are just great!

The really funny thing is, that the Idea of the Euro was never well beloved by the german government prior tho 1990. But then, the French demanded (out of historical fear) some reassurings for allwing the German reunification and preventing

Yeah, that is no driving, that is Art... One thing I really would love to see once is Bellof beating his 956 around Nordschleife with an average of 200 km/h... Sad that there is no real Video of it...

Yeah, but it at least gives a feeling of real prototype racing and constant evolution. And they look damn sexy, too. And when everything fails, I just watch VLN.

The article makes me really sad, but describes the best time in Rally sports. Group B cars made the rallye an event which had as much popularity as the formula 1. It was a time when Racing was 50% raw power and 50% talent, and it is no that

Well maybe they are just fans of a certain Football(as in "Soccer") club. Here in Germany, they often lay goat heads infront of the stadium of their rivals before matches, cause the rival's mascot is a goat, and they even hav

Yes, but these hurdles to overcome are political, not technological or financial. And for that period, the biggest deterrent against Russia is Russia itself, because they are militarily, as a former german Chancellor once said "The Rep

In my opinion, the US is slowly forcing Europe to rethink its overall alliance with them, especially under a President who is maybe the worst foreign politician, even after Bush, because he manages to show basically every ally or partner th

Native German here, you should always take things said by Todenhöfer with a HUGE grain of salt. He always reports from a ultra-left, anti-western stance of view. Also he is known for falsifying photographic evidence from Gaza to document i
