It is relevant and on topic because it makes the use of lasers practical or not, since this thread is about usage of lasers for war. If wars are not needed, then lasers will not be used for war. Lasers would be more practical for wiping out small debris mostly in an orbit cleaning operation.

If you get to destroy an object in space it will create tons of debris that would mean an expensive cleaning orbit operation later. Every piece that could hit another would create thousands of pieces that would create zillions of pieces, preventing orbits to be usable. Space garbage problem is...

No, this is not about asset bubbles... :lol: It is about real bubbles...:tiphat: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science_and_environment/10278567.stm

Where should his nose be pointing to have a good attitude? :lol: Well in my Orbiter workshops for kids in 2005-2006 it was a lesson of 1 hour so they could take off and do basic atmospheric maneuvers. For kids, it was a game...

He estado pensando ver si existe la posibilidad de que los orbinautas ticos nos reuniéramos en algún lugar de San José para conversar y tomar un café, formar una especie de club de fans. ¿Quién es tico aquí?

Oye, suena interesante. Lo que ocurre es que mi computadora en casa se dañó.

No creo que puedas hacerlo. Las naves de Orbiter no son objetos sólidos como los conoces, sino que son objetos virtuales. Al estar aterrizados usan "landing points" o puntos de apoyo que calzan con los apoyos sobre la superficie. Un cohete vertical tiene los puntos de apoyo donde se posa en...

If I am correct, compatibility issues come from the fact that Orbiter 2010 was compiled using .NET and not Visual Studio anymore, so blame Microsoft for compiler compatibility issues. Remember Martin used Orbiter to keep his programming skills sharp, because he needs to teach people, and it...

You do not need to learn C++. If I am not mistaken Orbiter 2010 uses .NET and not Visual Studio anymore. If there are no animations, a simple config file may work. Else, you may start practicing by making an addon for Spacecraft3.dll On a side note, I wonder if you may be willing to model a...

Where will the money go? It will not be spent in space exploration, but in Afghanistan. Business Insider: Here's Proof That Deficit Hawks Are Killing The Recovery What will happen to unemployed NASA personnel? Huffington post: Unemployment Benefits Lapse Causes Panic And Confusion For The...

I really appreciate all the effort you have been putting in this. I also appreciate your energy and persistence, because it is not easy to bring such a big project to a happy ending like this. :thumbup::tiphat: Thank you very much!!

How about making you own shuttle fleet addon? That wouldn't require a hack and that would make you popular here.

I have not been in need for a facebook account.

German minister sees Facebook fined over privacy Why do you think this happens? I ahev not registered in Facebook and this makes me to feel some kind of concern.

Do you think this article is on the right track? Book asks: Is Internet ruining our minds?

You may like to download an MP4 video HERE that shows parts of the shuttle, so you can understand better how they work (in orbit operations). It is a 575Mb HD video.

Every culture has a myth of creation and a myth about gods, prophets and their story. What can be said about the mighty probe? I need the enlightment of the priests of the sacred cult of the probe... :D

I would like to know what makes Orbiter to be fun for Martin. The challenge of thinking and figuring out a solution? Learing about technology? Flying it? Sense of achievement? What did he have in mind when he started with Orbiter? What are the most rewarding experiences he have had with...

How does electromagnetic tether look like? According to a book by Miguel Bautista Aranda who has worked for NASA for 30 years, we are creating a "prison" of debris as jail bars. Is this idea accurate nowadays?
