Silly question

Stupid question probably, but can spacex super heavy booster throw a fuelled hls to the moon in one shot if it is expended?

Wow, you can buy these off the shelf.

OMG :-) this is a research project??? You have been able to build these at home for years :-D. There are at least two you can buy off the shelf. British scientists at their best.

Ay carumba pass the lemon.

Ttechnically, the corona could not plunge into the black hole as time stops? Surely the event horizon expanded to include the old corona.

Thus the black hole 'downed' a corona.

Musks new alloy

Transparent Aluminum surely?

In MY day

We just threw away whole rockets and built new ones when we NEEDED them. None of this landing back down crap.

Ahem....

I think we have to accept by now that the proven experts live on Elon's side of the reporting fence :-)

We're saved!

Could this be version 0.1a of the neo defence? After all it seems to be merely a matter of scale...

The answer is obviuos

Good ol' Capitalistic foresight

They only went in the 60's to beat the Russki's - didn't give two hoots until then. Didn't seem to care who they killed to get it. Didn't give two hoots now until China showed an interest. Capitalist planning = find something someone else has planned to acquire or wants, and break any rules you need to get it first. Sad.

That said, Space-X appears to be further along than any, and that's an evil capitalist running dog lackey (I'm out of practice - that the right term?). They'll open it up to all comers, but charge admission :-), probably put the first Disney world up there under license. Before NASA get their act together, Chinese tourists will be visiting Elon's lunar theme park.

Perhaps Pence's dream is just the American Empire's Last Hurrah... Time to wake up.

weather sat - really

Its cheaper to get the nice Russians to send up a weather satellite, so its all BS

Anomolous cigar shaped metallic object enters solar system....

And spinning on its long axis. AND doing a slingshot...Aahhhh come on... the minute i read the article i thought it was an sf plot. Is anyone making a movie of RAMA? Could just be publicity...

now with new and improved....

Of course we have stem cell injections for knees now you know

Of course he can do it, he'll simply steal some musketeers with options and skip all that tedious trial and error.

um.... Seen it already?

Last year. ANU. Canberra. They made them in the oven from memory. ;-)

span port or inline will be needed

If you cannot see all the traffic betwixt switch and satellite you're buggered.

Use ntop to see all traffic once you can plug in to a spanned port or better yet between the two.

If you can put something between the two have it cache web traffic as a pass through.

Ntop is web based so light.

Any crappy old PC can run it.

If you can get hold of smooth wall with proxy you should be right.
