Me:ph34r:. Here's my haul from yesterday at the Smithsonian... their internet sucks:o:!!

There are IR suppression techniques that can be applied to an aircraft's engines (keep in mind other parts of the aircraft radiate too, any part that's generating significant friction for instance) One method is to shape the tail pipe as a flat surface. This minimizes the cross sectional...

I hate that game:angry:. Dang Norwegians kicked my butt:cry:. ... Caught some mad Pokémon on Pokémon Go:lol:. Expectations definitely not reality:partay:. It's fun, but I was hoping to catch a Charizard instead: Now I know what my wife's going to be for Halloween this year:D.

:lol: Now you're just teasing me. Seriously though, I'm excited to play No Man's Sky. It's probably (no, it is) boring to a lot of people, but I'm the kind of person that wandered around Skyrim and The Witcher 3 to just look at sh*t and admire the scenery, so the exploration does peak my...

Ever wondered what the inside of a rocket's fuel tank looked like? Me neither, but now we both know:partay:. This is an inside view of the newly completed fuel tank for the Space Launch System. The photo's pretty big, so resize it to glimpse both details and depth, otherwise it just looks flat.

Anyone have any bad or regrettable tattoos?

Can be? It's straight up BS. A common Phishing scam. Plenty of warnings about Steamgifts and similar sites: http://www.pcworld.com/article/160490/steamscam.html

A mobile airfield: Or ten:partay:. An underwater gunslinger armed with 154 tomahawks And for strategic strikes: Historically, the USN has only ever had 3 strategic bomber types. 4 ex-USAF B-29s, but they were converted into maritime strike aircraft designate P2B-2S and called "patrol...

Ballistic missile defense is not one of SM-2's primary capabilities. These are S2A and Anti-shipping defense primarily, but it can and have been used as an anti-ballistic missile missile as well. SM-2 Block IV has a built-in ABM capability to augment SM-6 for short-to-medium range...

NASA's ER-2: Like its spy counterpart - https://defence.pk/threads/a-handy-guide-to-the-u-2-spy-plane.349567/ - the ER-2 can be configured with a variety of different missions.

Given the volatility of Jupiter, Juno has to rank among NASA's most dangerous missions, and one of its hardest. According to Scott Bolton, part of the Juno project: “We just did the hardest thing NASA has ever done.” I'm hard-pressed to disagree with him given the monster Juno is up against...

I'm going to catch flak for it, but I believe all women units are horribly outdated. Around the world, from Russian airborne: To Norwegian: And American infantry: Women have shown themselves capable of serving alongside men. During cadet selection, the genders are typically...

The Goose is nice. It's a very adaptable system that's keeping up with modern threats thanks to modern upgrades, but is also outranged by 7,000 meters by Hellfire. Whether the BSF is interested or not is left to them, not me or anyone else here, but it's a step up from rocket artillery like the...

Tangentially, are you more into exploration or exploitation? I'm a big fan of Civilization type games (Which I play at work against my coworkers:partay:), and occasionally delve into real-time strategy like Sins of a Solar Empire, but I'm more into exploration games... so long as they aren't...

Tried Endless Space or Sins of a Solar Empire? There's a new Endless Space out this year. And Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion got a new expansion earlier this week.

This has never been done, so a very big maybe. Aegis Combat System is used by several US allies, all of them use a variation of the SPY-1. SPY-1D on Japan's Kongo: And Australia's Hobart: Spain, South Korea and the US also use Aegis and all use the SPY-1D. Only Norway uses a smaller radar...

There is a man portable ground launcher. And a launcher that fits onto just about any vehicle. Nothing tubed like an AT4, no. But the vehicle mounted launcher can be mounted onto nearly anything.

There's a ground launched version too. Do you guys know (not specifically you Parikrama, but all people commenting on this thread) what Aegis is? It isn't the battle management software, ABM or BMD (or ASU and ASW) alone. It's a package that includes hardware like radars, software like Aegis...

I was really surprised to see NASA helped research supersonic flight for Tupolev too. The development program was from 1996 to 1999, so relations between the US and Russia were markedly better. During the development of the TU-144 Supersonic Transport, NASA was asked to assist with research on...

Here's a few more platforms NASA used or helped develop. AIM-54 Phoenix. SR-71 Blackbird. Tier-3 Darkstar. TU-144LL Supersonic transport. Not even foreign aircraft are safe from NASA's grasp. X-31 Semi-tailless. X-29. X-40 space plane. And last but not least, the X-45...
