The weird mindest within large parts of the political class and societies in the Western world, is counterproductive for a strong national space program. I'm surprised that space flight is still allowed.

Ah, that makes sense. Now I remember the knocking sounds. It's actually the same sound one can hear in the entry video of Orion: Thanks guys.

Where is the buzzing background noise, and the knocking sounds coming from? Never heard it in any recording of Apollo before :unsure:

When flight simulation almost becomes more entertaining than the real thing... Hard to imagine how simulation might be like in 10 - 20 years from now. Thanks to every individual on this planet, and of course here in the forums, working on software development! You make the world a more...

:love:

I wanted to post it a fews days ago already. It was on the Win95 CD. I still remember when I was like "OMG woooow a music video on a PC" 😂

I had the investigation report as a video on VHS in the late 90s. There wasn't really an "explosion" but rather a deflagration. The orbiter itself was destroyed due to aerodynamic overstress when it became loose rapidly. A booster failure or anomaly can have catastrophic consequences or close...

Wow, I would expect the loss of a nozzle to be catastrophic (at least for the booster and eventually for the rest of the LV too). Yeah. That surprises me as well. Engines are supposed to gimbal for balancing the vehicle during powered flight anyway. I see nothing special here. The rocket did...

Interesting. One of the SRB's exhaust plumes didn't look right at all. Looks like a very close call. Still no official statement?

Yeah. Coal isn't the very best way for energy consumption. On the other hand, our "economic miracle" after WWII was significantly based on it, the "black gold". Especially here in the Ruhr area. But if I look at the Ruhr area today, and compare with the mid-20th century, I'd prefer the...

Well, GB has only a few years left, at consumption rate of recent years. https://www.worldometers.info/coal/uk-coal/#:~:text=Coal%20Reserves%20in%20the%20United%20Kingdom&text=The%20United%20Kingdom%20has%20proven,levels%20and%20excluding%20unproven%20reserves). But people always look at...
