  1. "Several articles have suggested that the ability to do without the kinds of thermal protection used by NASA vehicles is purely a function of lightweight materials and clever design. This ignores the rather significant difference between reentry at a velocity of essentially zero and reentry at orbital velocity -- roughly mach 22. No amount of clever feathering is going to solve the problem of getting rid of that kind of kinetic energy without serious thermal protection."

     

    This. Suborbital - aka ballistic - and orbital are TWO COMPLETELY different things.

    Fold that thing like that at Mach 25 and it'll rip to shreds, so I doubt that ship design is ever for anything other than pleasure excursions: pop up the millionaires, give em 2-10mins of zero G and some photo-ops, then let em come back down, collect cash.

    I wonder how many cat thread posts I could find on CR if I were'nt lazier than fuck? Plenty in recent memory.

    There's the "Free Cat" thread (dead cat on road, haha funny?)

    There's the "Hang cats by their tails over a clothesline and watch em fight" thread (haha that was funny too?)

    There's the "I'm fucking going to shoot these stray cats out my back alley" thread (lets all sympathize?)

    There's the... and so on.

     

    Oh there's a scant couple of you who are truly animal lovers, of all sorts.

     

    The rest of you? Yeah...

     

    I've analyzed CR in my jumbotron-bullshit-detector-3000 and find CR: full of shit.

  3. Ok so where can I go school myself on biometric safes? Ratings, features etc.

     

    A quick google leads me to an ape-ton of choices but I don't know what to look for and which have the best reputation and so forth.
