Re: SpaceX News

One final bit of info. SuperDraco is derived from Draco, and utilizes the same storable (non-cryogenic) propellant as the small Draco thrusters, but are over 100 times larger in terms of delivered thrust. The Draco thrusters were tested earlier in the day No conclusions or correlations just facts to...

Back to Apollo days : Three of those failed while they were installed in the spacecraft, two during a system test, and one, of course, was Apollo 13, as everybody is probably familiar.

Re: SpaceX News

The engines burn hypergolic propellants—monomethylhydrazine is the fuel while nitrogen tetroxide is the oxidizer. These are fairly toxic compounds, but unlike other "cleaner" rocket fuels, they are more easily storable both on the ground and in space. COPV seem to fail when exposed to cryogenic temp...

Re: SpaceX News

There is a download on Google documents and you can reach the link on the Reddit space X forum that someone is broken down the explosion into 200 clips in PNG format. Detail is very grainy and unfortunately at the rate of explosion it only takes three frames to cover the entire craft. It is obvious ...

Re: Thermal battery with 6-8 times the energy density of lithium

Climate Change Technologies, also known as CCT Energy Storage, has launched its TED (Thermal Energy Device) with a set of remarkable claims. Remarkable claims require remarkable proof. I have yet to see either in this case. Pumped hydro still remains the cheapest most economical way to store energy....

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

Nearly one third of the Ming dynasty-era (1368–1644) wall has disappeared, and officials blame environmental causes and human damage. China’s Great Wall Society h...

Re: Sell The Whitehouse to Trump

The marine's have already openly made clear that this action will have a adverse impact on readiness.
For what it is worth. We are already making plans to try and minimise the impact.
Now you know why Chaos has left the room.

They use parachutes, and solid rockets that fire in the last second or three of flight to slow down the final touchdown. The US on the other hand, used ...
