Cmon Sup Forumsros anything goes

somwehat related

want sciency stuff or what?

Anything goes at this point

okay

...

I've worked on all of these at some point.

big man user over here
what do you do

Really? Share some shit my dude

this machine was used to create temperatures of 2 billion degrees K

>shitposting from the iss

wow, them rooshians really let the ISS go, didn't they?

Rocket scientist that contracts with essentially all USA launch vehicles and satellite payloads.

Its hard, but not as much as people think. It just requires exquisite attention to details and a knack for figuring out all possible scenarios.

Working on the actual physics/math and with hardware is awesome. There is tons of other stuff that is extremely tedious, but necessary.

...

rofl, not worked literally on them, but did engineering work on them. Every day i work we get that much closer to general space access for all of us to visit something like the ISS.

...

...

Two people alive today will probably be the first to fuck in space.

>Its hard, but not as much as people think
Well it's not rocket science

Is that an artist's rendering or an actual image from an electron microscope?

pretty sure they already have. just because it isn't all over pornohub doesn't mean it didn't happen.

actual image, tinted in photoshop. not a lot of actual color at that scale.

oh, you.

> no toucha da tomatoe

Honestly using a rocket that has to carry its fuel is a terrible way to get to orbit. We just haven't found a better way yet that is feasible.

Incidentally, one theory to travel the stars is to use consecutive nuclear blasts to accelerate to a fraction of the speed of light. Nuclear rocket science.

...

You work with one of these yet? Or are they still pretty top secret?

Wouldn't be too surprised. No contact with other people for 6+ months. Nobody can stop you up there. Kinda surprised some crazy fuck hasn't mutinied and started doing whatever the fuck they want up there.

>Incidentally, one theory to travel the stars is to use consecutive nuclear blasts to accelerate to a fraction of the speed of light. Nuclear rocket science.

yeah. project Orion.

i think Niven and Pournelle were right about that, in their novel "Footfall" - the only way that'll be allowed is if aliens invade and we need a way to drive them off.

i thought they phased those out.

Engine testing is fun. Especially destructive testing.

does anyone know if there are specific regulations AGAINST fucking on the ISS?

>Rocket scientist
ll cool story. keep dreaming and someday it might actually come true if you really want to be one. but chances are once you get older(teens) you will abandon your childish fantasies of greatness and accept reality and work at walmart all your life.

"hey, Lenny, let's test the fire retardant foam system."

"sounds good, Karl."

X-37? Not that I know of. They just launched one in September. Nobody really knows what it's for, aside from reusable space tech for the military.

Yeah, though at least we have a giant pile of bombs sitting around if needed.

"looks good so far..."

The site is way uglier than I remember, but check out this site:

This thought crossed my mind like a month ago while talking about the Mars colony. Like what happens if some guy just goes apeshit serial space rapist

"Uh, Lenny? where's the off valve?"

"it's down there, Karl."

"OH SHI-"

"TELL MY WIFE I LOVE HER!"

you mean it's not rocket surgery

My guess is that they are using it as a spy satellite as well as duration testing various military tech in a space environment. Hopefully not biological weapons, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they are doing

Probably are, plus ground control has dozens of cameras and other shit to watch you. The whole station is a bunch of recording devices so can't really hide it. Also probably why they vet candidates and train them. Sorry Homer.

larry niven covered that one, too "How the Heroes Die".

homophobe loses it and kills a bunch of the other colonists because afeard of teh gay.

Rocket appliances*

I think I lived in LA when this happened but I didn't see it in person :(

"I'm fired, aren't I?"

"Oh, yeah."

"you're super fired."

keep em coming man

this is fucking sick

did he ded?

...

no, the foam is very light and easy to push through.

>there were no survivors

foam happens

...

would be an awesome party with some trance playing and a bunch of happy drugs

> believe what you want. you will anyway.
> the foam was toxic and twenty-six men died in horrible convulsions.

looks like its flying in the clouds

Until some wacko all hopped up on goofballs decides to take one of those Lancers for a test drive

then someone hands you a multicolored slug. "try some of this, maaaan"

that would also result in no survivors

...

They say they cant carry nukes anymore, but...they can probably still carry nukes.

Also checked

A plumbus?

> slice cabbage

my guess was it was a rejected design from Bad Dragon.

What's this?

i wonder why you don't see more architecture like this. Based Gaudi.

no nigga they block sunlight to prevent the reaction between bromide and chlorine, which forms bromate. its to maintain water quality

only on Sup Forums could you get a post that ends with chemistry and starts with "no nigga"

they do both.
