SBSP is a noble concept, glad to see that China is also joining the party. This is essentially a continuation of what Lt Gen. Zhang Yulin proclaimed a couple of years ago about Chinas' ambitions for exploiting the Earth-Moon Space. Pretty much all research done so far shows us that the TRL for...

Yeah, this came out today. Another good one for the weapon was done some time ago by FW.

Did anyone watch the actual press conference? It was glorious in every way possible. I really hope this is an ironic post. Right?

Type 055 is not considered as a strict replacement/successor class for 052D. At least, that is what I'm getting from this so far.

You might want to remove your full name from the OP, for obvious reasons..

If you think CO2 is bad, you haven't seen anything yet. Let me tell you about the horror of Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO).

This is a real sad story, no matter how you look at it. But at the end of the day, Ben Wallace is right. Actions have consequences.

It wasn't that straightforward. You are correct Emirates was unhappy with the Alliance engines. I still remember the LNA analysis from back then. It was always the engines. Updating the A380: the prospect of a neo version and what’s involved It was impossible to close the case though back...

No. It would make more sense to use said CO2 for enhanced coal bed methane extraction. Then, the marxists would be able to take the CH4 and use it to fuel rockets sending non-marxists to space.

What are you talking about? Airbus just signed this, hours ago.. Emirates signs deal for 40 A330-900s, 30 A350-900s

It's not really about that. I watched him testify actually (watching SASC and SSSC hearings is a vice of mine from the SpaceX days), and the whole approach was pretty blatant. Both in prose and in specifics. Bordering on fear mongering to be more precise. Which is something that USINDOPACOM...

First establish the eternal enemy, then reinforce the belief of a "bomber island chain gap" and lastly, demand for the funds and policy to neutralize it. That is pretty blatant, and also expected If I may add.

sigh China holds the third largest coal reserves in the world. Second is Russia, USA is first. And coal liquefaction is a technology that has been around for a century. Hell, coal liquefaction became an integral part of the German industry and helped to fuel its military during World War II...

You cannot really fault them for that though. Both Emirates and SA were beating the drum hard on that, and the data corroborating a big increase in hub activity were forthcoming (together with the airport investments from the big players). Also, the debilitating results of 9/11 on commercial...

The album I was talking about.

This has been known for quite some time now, since the abandonment of the A340 and the move to the monstrous 250kN engines. Once upon a time, long range WB aircraft that traversed significant bodies of water needed to have more than two engines for reliability and security purposes. As engines...

That is one of the most absurd conspiracy theories I've ever read.

Yeah, I've already read about this. Saw an imgur album with all the high res images, it is really incredible how pristine and timeless the wreck looks (well, going down to 17,500ft helps with that). Down to the markings on the tractor and a jacket! Will try to link the album when I get home and...

It could work. Looking at the existing sub-forum though, I think that there are a lot of threads within that would not exactly fit the new subforum description (if we decide to simply rename the subforum). A general science-technology subforum has a lot of merit imo, simply because there are a...
