Re: Can I really post anything here?

Wow, here's a discussion. And the great thing here is that everything happens in a rather cultural way. And it's great that everyone is right about something. I would just like to add that everyone started somewhere. This must be understood. The small satellite market is growing. And the main direct...

Re: Can I really post anything here?

Um, yes, I know it all, the first post is a quote from an article on the Skyrora website. Actually, here is this article As I understand it, the news is not in the engine itself, but in the estimated costs of creating such equipment so that it can be used not for Billions of dollars, but a relative...

Can I really post anything here?

Hello! I'm Tom. And I would like to talk about some cosmic things in real life. I recently read this: "Skyrora's LEO engine is unique as it can re-ignite numerous amounts of times in orbit to deliver payloads into different altitudes and phases, as required for the mission and acting as a‘ taxi...

Re: What would a realistic spaceship chase look like?

Mandalorian had several Space Chases that were very intense, including the opening of the Season Ender. Now, that is at "knife range" in Space terms, more of a dogfight than anything else, since all of the battles we see in Mando are small ships, not Capitol Ships. Yep, that's what I'm ta...

Re: What would a realistic spaceship chase look like?

If we talk about the chase itself, then it will be pretty boring. But if we talk, for example, about ways to shoot it in a movie or write about it, then there are techniques to make it super dynamic. In general, most of the chases are very boring. Even automobiles. It's just that in our time there i...

Re: The 'world's first jet suit paramedic' unveiled in the Lake District by the GNAAS

That's pretty cool, like straight from James Bond movie. Looked up few videos of it and it seems big problem is engine failure, all the flights are very low or over water just for this reason. If engine goes out there is no way to recover. Helicopters at least can autorotate if engines fail and eve...

Re: Astronomers Discover Cosmic 'Superhighways' For Fast Travel Through the Solar System

It's a pity there are no likes here. Although I would like to thank Jub. For explaining the complex in simple language. Thank you. I didn't even have to call the explanatory team))

Re: Astronomers Discover Cosmic 'Superhighways' For Fast Travel Through the Solar System

The discovery that you have found will bring us closer to what is right and what is not. It may happen that in other studies there is confirmation of the second theory. Or maybe there is a third and fourth way to move objects at such distances. Science is now at its best in terms of opportunity. But...

Re: NASA launches astronauts on Space X rocket.

All launches have already passed. How do you like the green flame?
PR move? Why aren't the rest of the space companies filming their flaws to promote discussions?

Re: Possible life on Venus.

Life would not have to originate in the atmosphere if there was an earlier period in Venus's history when it was more hospitable, life became established, then was killed off everywhere but the atmosphere when the greenhouse effect went berserk and heated the place up to the current temperature. Ye...

Re: Possible life on Venus.

Thanx Solauren and bilateralrope for your explanation. And to the previous commentator. I understand how science works. And I agree with all your arguments. In the original post, the problem was that I was in a bad mood and couldn't get the message across. I am interested in the mechanism how we rec...

Re: Possible life on Venus.

I have always assumed that scientific methods are too narrow to suggest the possibility that current science has not even come close to possible ways of transferring energy and traveling intergalactic distances. Thanks to your comment, I can also understand that this does not depend on science, but ...

Re: Possible life on Venus.

Wait for a second! You are seriously discussing the Dyson orb trace and other markings that we believe are possible here on Earth. But what if those technically and technologically advanced civilizations went a completely different path. Perhaps they were able to get energy in a way that our science...

Re: Colonies in Space: Mirrors vs Artificial Lighting

What are you talking about? There is plenty of raw material on the moon and Mars with which to build colonies. And if you have a problem with the gravity of Mars making it expensive to launch spacecraft from its surface to orbit, you just build the colony out of its moons, Demos and Phobos (and of ...
