A World With A Million SpaceX Starships
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
There are two powerful transporation technologies available to us. Both will advance first as unmanned devices. This item discusses the heavy booster. Setting aside passenger traffic, moving valuable goods is a natural market and will likely replace all long haul air cargo. The second technology will be unmanned hydrogen airships who are easily able to displace all long haul trucking and do point to point shipping. All this can be flown as drones with no human risk while we bring down the accident rate. It is then that passenger traffic can be contemplated for both techno...
Everything You Need To Know About Concussions And Snowboarding
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 21 hours ago
THe most important rule for any and all victims is to lay up for a really long time. Find activities that makes an additional concussion an impossibility. That includes no driving whatsoever. When you suffer a concussion, the damage will consist of multiple microtears in that brain gelatin. They will all be oriented in one direction. Appling ultrasound should help these tears to properly reallign and naturally heal. This takes time. Here is the problem. Any form of secondary concussion will be on a different angle of attack. Healing will be exponentially more difficult. ...

However, Truman put his foot down when General MacArthur suggested it.

A devil’s advocate is a precious commodity. That has to be one of the takeaways from revisiting the Battle of Midway seventy-five years on, and it should be etched on the internal workings of any martial institution that wants to survive and thrive amid the rigors, danger, and sheer orneriness of combat.

In the second page of his book *Witness*, Whittaker Chambers talks of “this sick society, which we call Western civilization,” locked in a deadly struggle between “the two irreconcilable faiths of our time—Communism and Freedom.” Chambers is correct in describing “freedom” as a faith. The philosophy of freedom, like communism, is a religion, which preaches the establishment of a promised land where there is total freedom. The classical liberal notion of freedom, developed between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries, is founded on the principle of individual and social perfectib...

MBT-70 Super Tank Was a Total Failure
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *Technology, Europe* Built to beat the Soviets, this failed prototype supported the development of some of the West’s best tanks. *Here's What You Need to Remember: *Ultimately the MBT-70 was killed by cost overruns and technological complexity. Rather than developing some design features and then incorporating them into the MBT-70 design, like the careless ammunition, the technology was installed, then extensively tested. The United States and West Germany realized their armor was good—but would soon be outmatched by Soviet anti-tank technology. They needed somet...

Is the Mach 5 SR-72 Spy Plane Already Be Flying?
Caleb Larson, The National Interest - 1 day ago
*Caleb Larson* *SR-72, * Maybe. And if it is, get ready. It will be faster than anything you've ever seen. *Here's What You Need To Remember: *Although not much is known about the Blackbird successor, Lockheed Martin press releases indicate that the airframe would use elements of both a scramjet and turbine engine to achieve Mach 5+ speeds. The SR-72 will apparently be roughly the same size as the SR-71 and could fly around sometime in the late 2020s. In the late 1990s, the SR-71 Blackbird — the world’s fastest, highest-flying plane ever — was retired. Perhaps preemptively. *Sl...
