Well, I don't know physics, but from I heard of it, there are two kinds of phenomena that are sensitive to a rotation. One is quantum particles, they have fixed spin, but won't delve into that topic, because I suspect that their &

I believe that the thing you are missing is Intuitive Machines aims at landing a lot of spacecrafts, not just one. They hope to have a limited number of failures to land which will teach them how to do it reliably. We might doubt will this

I don't understand either. But I have a hypothesis, that they do it to dilute the definition of the war. Like if 15 years ago they did something like that, it was probably seen as a declaration of a war. But not now, not it is just hea

Fuel is burned to head sodium, if you are getting too much heat for your taste you can burn less fuel. It is kinda the goal of the exercise. But in any case, I believe that the more you heat sodium, the more light it emits, probably there i
