Re: Latest incoherent rant from KFC

You can count on your cronies in London (government and media) to gin up breathless agitprop about how Britain is under siege from the other side of the Atlantic. Do you seriously think that article gives a representative view? It lists criticism from; The Telegraph, a notoriously right-wing newspa...

Re: Shep is going to love this little rocket game

That's actually pretty easy. You need to get into a low orbit around Kerbin, wait until you see the Mün come over the horizon, and then thrust until your apoapsis is roughly the same as the Mün's.

I'm not going to entertain the ignoramus on this board unless we're discussing about the technical aspects of the scenario I have outlined. Now that we are back on this subject, can we have a source with more credentials than that self-declared 'armchair general' that Iran even has sunburn missiles?

Re: Is a US economic implosion (aka Greece) inevitable?

He's stated in his other current thread that the U.S. is 'inevitably' moving towards war with Iran, and then probably other gulf oil states, due to the approach of peak oil-which makes it a pretty reasonable assumption from his viewpoint. No, that is not a reasonable assumption at all. It takes hug...
