today is israel space day, 37 years since our first orbital launch.what has you're cunt launched to orbit?
how much of it was mommy america handing you free IP?
>>215022059it wasnt an internet satellite it was an imagine one and we have our own IP range if we used ones in the americas that would cause like 2000ms ping though internet backbone routing
Who are the 7th other cunts
>>215022274Nevermind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_first_orbital_launches_by_countrySurprised that we sent fucking Astérix in the third position
>>215022323Lmao the first one from the yuro space agency was named Obélix
>>215022323baugetteland used to be on the cutting edge of this stuff in the 50s-70s people expected france to be a major player in space/aviation but then i think OPEC tried to crash the global economy which fucked everyone
>>215022738Don't forget that we also gave you a nuclear reactor and thus nukes Even with nuclear we've lost a lot. Jupiter wants to make 14 new reactors iirc, as the ones we have now are 30 years old+. We can design a reactor (epr, extremely complex subsystems and the most powerful reactor worldwide) but then we cannot build it. They had to ask retired engineers to come back, and even with that Flamanville took 12 years to build. The new reactors will be based on the EPR2 design, which is theoretically simpler to build
>>215022991the only thing that retard wants is to turn your country into zimbabwe, if the french energy sector hasnt been destroyed yet you should really count your blessings. france used to open a new reactor every year and it's been decades since a new one opened no?.
>>215023307The epr in Flamanville (black cube) hit divergence (first chain fission reaction) last year. It should be hooked up to the grid in a few months The grey cubes are pending dismantlement. Except for the Marcoule ones, these are old research reactors kept for museum purposes
>>215023766Our reactors are in the mean in terms of age internationally speaking We can still add a few dozens of years on them. Everything is replaceable in a npp, except for the reactor vessel (where the rods and shit live)
>>215023871this is because many years of neutron bombardment makes it brittle or something? we really need a design where every part is replaceable
>>215023933Too expensive, it's literally cheaper to build a new reactor than change thatIt's a single forged piece of steel weighing a few hundreds of tons made to support extreme temperature and pressure. It's also highly integrated with the rest of the plant. It activates by integrating neutrons and not just contaminates (steel itself become radioactive)
If you're interested you can read that, that's what I did, it's on zlib
>>215021936This made for israeli nuclear weapons program
>>215024186That's the vessel of the epr in Flamanville
>>215024366its a camera with a solar panel ,radio and some thrusters>>215024327im interest but not read-a-book level interested but thanks >>215024186im just thinking of how long it takes them to build a new one they must be doing something dumb/that can be sped up. maybe its just a matter of having a pressure vessel factory that's constantly making them at a constant predictable pace so they can speed up parts of the process
>>215024518On the epr they had problems with the subcontractors. For example the vessel has been manufactured twice because had problems in steel composition. Some welds in other places were also fucked, and Bouygues had a court hearing because of some labor laws. It's for these subcontractors that we lack engineers. Heavy industries like this don't exist anymore in yurop (except maybe for germs)Jupiter wanted also to invest in Small Modelur Reactors. SMRs are small (a few hundreds of mw max, compare with the 1650mw of the epr) made in a plant with chain manufacturing like cars. They're easy to transport/sell and you can just stack them to get more power. I think the government scraped the idea though, if we have a government in the first place Making big reactors like this probably isn't feasible economically
>>215024845arent small reactors kinda a solved problem tho? france has been making them for more than half a century just put em on a truck and connect them to water supplies and you have a power station no?
we launched another one 3 weeks ago
