  1. It would exploded on initial spinning
  2. The Feds can operate there though right? (FBI, DEA etc).
  3. I always thought sanctuary city meant that the police and state authorities would never prosecute anyone for being illegal. Didn’t realise it meant the ICE agents couldn’t operate there. Surely in the FBI caught say a cartel member who was there illegal, they could then be processed as an illegal by ICE. Complicated lol
  4. That or it ends up on their doorsteps or local to them!
  5. I’m gonna pick this up another day. I’m already side delving into the escape velocity equations lol Vinfinity2 = V2 - Ve2 and that’s just if you wanna visit Mars not get from Peckham to Paris
  6. I’m 5mins in on looking at this SABRE and it’s doing my brain in lol Mach 5 is around 9-10k km/h you need 11-12k km/h to reach escape velocity (I think the Saturns were hitting 13+k km/h). So that final push when it switches to rocket is what will give it the extra oomf to reach low orbit. It’s still carrying a fuuckton of fuel though. So weight, thrust, parabolic trajectory, distance will still be the same as conventional? Or am I wrong?
  7. Aye I’ve seen these before but not looked into or followed the tech…. That’s me going to sleep in 5 hours then
  8. I’ll take a look mate thanks
  9. Maybe one of the scram jets could achieve it in a thin atmosphere but you still need conventional to get there before engaging them and don’t they scrams work by forcing air in for combustion? So will the new design need something like a two/three stage engine system with extra oxygen. One conventional to take off and then a scram to get up above the atmosphere and then just something simple for positioning/direction once there? So those scalar and vector classes mean fuuck all in this new world then!
  10. Aye that. So have to get above to the thinner atmosphere to get beyond the pressure wave problem. Now that’s interesting. How to achieve that, without creating a boom on the way up or burning more fuel than a tanker.
  11. Or maybe I’m confusing sound and friction
  12. But a sonic boom is a pressure wave, not engine noise. How can an advanced engine overcome that? Fuselage design can minimize it but it still exists until you have no medium.
  13. To be clear, I’m talking upper upper atmosphere not out in space
  14. Lad’s just got back by to me and said they’ve got 3 new pups on in the pack.
  15. I’m a firm believer that travel will go that way. Hypersonic in my humble opinion is the realm of out in space. The sheer energy needed to take a plane to those speeds within an atmosphere is mental, let alone materials to withstand the forces and temps. Charts or maybe you will be able to confirm this. Didn’t concord expand at full Mach cruising speeds so much you could get your hand in the joints? With heat expansion.
  16. Agreed but the ticket price is comparable with todays biz class. The ground systems/staff/maintenance crew etc should’ve been factored in to make it viable, even if it put it on par with first class these days. Kinell how much is one of those new suites on Emirates or Singapore nowadays? Around 10-20k depending the route no? I only have an idea on pricing ‘cause I like to watch those Avgeeks on YouTube
  17. The fuel bill must’ve been huge though. Hence the price. But in fairness, surely the price back then for a seat was comparable to todays business class.
  18. Same here in Spain. Huge things some of them, r150m on wheels at intervals.
  19. I want to ask my mate here in Spain about the pointer as a boar dog. If you’re willing that is. Edited to add; I’ve posted pics of our days out before on here and he gets numbers. All dogs well looked after and people on here can vouch for him.
  20. A well bred mastiff breed mate or maybe one of the Caucasian/kangal types. They bond with family and will die to protect them but are supposed to be a liability with outsiders of the direct family. Fuucking disgusting you have to deal with this mate. I hope it doesn’t have to much impact on your wife and you going forward. Up security, run trips to flash bangs (on the inside of your wall and at least 6” below the top of the fence/wall). I’ve seen some motion activated jet sprayers online recently never used them mind. Anything that is loud and disorienting in addition to a dog o
  21. So……. Did we go to t’moon or not? I haven’t bothered with the last pages, I’ve been up a mountain. As per, it’s gone down the religious route and the same old. Where in the Bible does it say Aliens don’t exist and space travel is impossible? What it does say in both old and New Testaments is that the earth is the center of the universe and yet we know that’s bollocks, proven bollocks. Anyone want to tell me if (hypothetically) Aliens (intelligent ones) are proven real what that means for monotheism? and ffs please please admit we went to the moon before you do
  22. Sleep well mate A wee tickle to help you on them bo bos… https://fb.watch/A4yWmMuzWu/?
  23. Sorry Greb, that was aimed at Charts lol
