Well hes not big outside of America, only heard of the guy through accident really, he's not that big in the technical literature, just in the pop science angle.

Wait what? I think the Arabs want a word with who is new to the table with astronomy.

His point is that you appear to have fundamentally missed the point.
Its weird watching these discussions sometimes...

I believe there are purple unicorns flying between the Bermuda Portal and Russel's Teapot. In fact, it's absolutely ridiculous for you all to fight my beliefs. Saying I'm crazy is an act of aggression against by beliefs. If you do not believe with me then you are just grabbing at any way you can to find the slightest fault with my very solid and sound beliefs. Also, my arrogance, ignorance, and inability to listen to alternate viewpoints without becoming enraged are further examples of why I know what I'm talking about and anyone who disagrees with me is a blathering idiot. Each to their own. In Europe you would in some rare, though becoming more common explain the concept of a God in the first place. Theists are becoming more likely to have to justify why do not believe in repeatable observations and statistics more than a centuries old book.

Then why are you here?
And that answer made way too much sense now I think about it.

It's as useless as airline pilots giving advice about sailing a boat. I would take issue with this, gotta be pretty thankful that Sully was good though with his plane to use it for a boating exercise...
And they cannot actually address each other, each has their own domain and when one crosses into the other it causes this kind of friction. Part of the problem is that we live in an era where technology is advancing faster than theology can react which is what I think if bringing it to the foreground like this. Well, in a few cases anyway, the Vatican has quite the advanced viewpoint on evolution and Astrophysics.

Krixtal Icefluxor wrote:Boating Exercise Yeah about the Vatican. Sadly, these anti-science loons tend to be Protestants from Southern American States. I blame the education system and preachers both. Well the alternative is whats happening in Europe where Theology is collapsing like my last attempt at a flan. Probably is the education system, its covering too many bases that Theology relies on to cover the less believable parts. There was a chap called Thomas Jefferson who edited out the Bible to remove the supernatural elements and leave the moral arguments.

Fun fact, Islam was at its heyday the biggest driver of social and technological advancement. There are texts in Baghdad that were translated into Arabic (a derivation of latin) that compiled much of the worlds knowlege, form the Mogul Empire's Hindu theology to the entire knowledge we have today of the Greeks which was preserved by them.
Algebra was created as a mathematical system to simplify Islamic inheritance laws and many of the named stars are translations from the Arabic texts built upon by the European astronomers that came later. Then they went into a Dark age when the fundamentalists started gaining traction and... yea they are slowly coming back from that at the moment, fundamentalism in any ideology is bad and free movement of ideas and capital is good.

My dream is to work on these asteroid mining projects, trying to figure out how to get involved in them. I've been fielding questions tentatively about looking at doing a Doctorate in something related. I'm doing Structural Engineering for my undergrad, looking at Aerospace Engineering for a Masters... Hopefully Zero G structures for the last part.
Put the Engines at the front of the damn ship for starters, put the spine into tension and vector the thrust slightly off (say 3 degree's off the direction of thrust to keep the exhaust from hitting the ship) to save on mass by a fair fraction.
If anyone knows anything about these kind of Academic things and has advice I appreciate it all

Although I messed up the staging and it exploded about 3 minutes into the flight
Well metals work like that, Steel is better in tension by a long shot than it is in compression. I reckon the first spaceships will be like hanging tents using metal ropes supporting a Biglow style inflatable canopy than what scifi brought us up on.
Also, just googled Kerbal Space program : interesting.

Gold frying pans and kitchen equipment. Also usage in Power plants and other appications cupper is used, such as a heatsink for your PC.
