fuck it I'll explain it cause it was /sfg/ where I first learned about QI and the first meme drive anyways (back then it was the photon tape loop drive or something like that)

>powered by electricity
>emits electrons
>does some quantum tunneling shit or whatever to accelerate the stream of electrons faster to one side of the drive generating thrust from the quantum vacuum or some shit
>OTP-2 in orbit now has 2 propellantless propulsion units onboard currently undergoing testing and seeming to have generated thrust

NASA HQ short timer with a "Policy Studies" doctorate discovers NASA is awesome and should get more of your money. Note he sure isn't discussing launch vehicles, manned or cargo transport.

How do you suppose they should compare NASA built launch vehicles to industry ones when they have never built one in house?

on another note, would that make the moon a nice big telescope location? or because of her tidal locking shenanigans would be an issue? or is just makes more sense to have space telescopes in that case

pulsed fission/fusion coulda been done 60 years ago
and yet people harp on meme drives because liberals hate nuclear explosions
>>
>>16809799
NTA but the reality is that hate against nuclear is, unfortunately, bipartisan. The oil and gas industry, which is heavily right wing, lobbies against it because it threatens their business and they’d rather not invest in it so it’s easier to just scare politicians into pushing oil. Left wingers meanwhile hate it because idk. They do it for free. Idiots like AOC and the german government think it’s le scary and honestly I have no clue why this is
>>
>>16809656
naturally a cost plus contract to a private company, to pay them to start from the beginning on an awful vehicle filled with "legacy" hardware/software is going to be more expensive than just telling your rocket development team to do it themselves

If they had one and weren't just a buncha bureaucrats
>>
>>16809800
>I have no clue why this is
also the oil and gas industry
they literally paid off green peace to protest nuclear. I wish I was joking.

First off, Falcon Heavy uses the same upper stage and payload adaptor as Falcon 9 which is structurally incapable of loads over 26T.
Second off,

only midwits make this point
the adapter is, not the stage. you can just fix the adapter
