It looks like turbulence or presure spikes on the chamber at ignition, depending the magnitude that could lead to a explosion (I just an aficionado, so take this opinion for what it´s worth) I also follow the sugar rocket to space project,

Hard scify is limited because is based on current knowledge. In 200 years thinks may have evolved quite a bit though. Maybe not to startrek standars, but something completely different that we can not imagine now(or that we can imagine but

Sfter some reading on how CIA works and how the information retrieved is used by washington, I guess that Obama is getting highly interpreted and filtered information. More opinions based on the opinions of analist's boses, than really

I don't think that is a good idea. A simple half hour system fail could let tens of planes in emergency fuel. Also in turbulent weather is not very wise to have something trying to dock into your plane.

I imagine that the APU generator must be reinforced or redesigned to be able to withstand the charge of the motors. Revereser are quite efective and I don't think you can get rid of them, because when you have slippery runways the brak

Air conditioning and electricity are suplied by the APU, not only by the ground units. For engine start up you must use the air presure(the startup motor is pneumatic not electric), that's why you don't have air conditioning till

Airbus 320 pilot here. This is something I've wondered myself for a long time. This same idea of a electric motor on the wheels powered by the APU(auxiliar small turbine for electricity and air presure, is the loud noise you hear when

But you don't have to unit test a radio throwing it to the water. Just sending messages.

Even honest replies that have good intentions have a high probability of adding nothing of valor to the OP. As humans we always try to make people think the same way we do, so even when we know nothing about an issue we are going to give an

If you do something public there are always going to be negative reactions, always. Because it´s socially much much easier to do it online due to anonymity(even when you have a reputation online, you are pretty much anonymous on you normal

I am with you, certainly I have my startup almost always in my mind, and I "work" (reply emails, research stuff, etc..) at strange hours. But I have family and my time with them and with friends is very necessary. In fact I have noticed th

Both are oversimplifications, what are the real reasons behind their judgement? are you trying to breath water on the beach and the one telling you that you are wrong is part of a rescue team. Or you have invented the radio and the one tell

Amazing reply, thank you very much! This is an awesome physics unexplored field (maybe not unexplored, but yet with lots of stuff to learn) How cool would be a kind of antenna that is able perform the same function as a mirror but in an ele

Exactly my bet, also if the rail is a tube he gains a way to store electricity in a kind of condenser, has an easy way to keep the "train" stabilized and also isolates the sonic shock from braking half the windows between L.A. And SF. Of co

What about some kind of periodical signal with known timing and fase that could be used to calibrate and syncronise the signals at post processing? Something like a film clapping board, but in space.

could some 100s of those small telescopes be used with interferometry to get a better picture?

Honest question: Could you explain a bit more this topic? I don´t even know how to google it beyond geosync satellite.

On money yes, but the overall impact is much bigger this way. And the experience is in a certain way more like founding 300 startups not only 2 or 3.

So true, but also I think that A-B players can be a bit too general. I've found that there is people that will execute flawlesly but only when they know exactly what to do, while others are able to fill gaps of your idea and execute with ju

It seems that feeding and cuting speeds are quite different from aluminium or steel. Also if it overheats it's like if you heat treat it, it becomes almost impossible to cut. That's why you must use coolant if you want to have some good res
