Technically yes. But it's not about who (or what) does the drilling. It's about knowing where to drill. http://www.airspacemag.com/daily-planet/robotic-sample-return-and-interpreting-lunar-history-the-importance-of-getting-it-right-154456166/

Cargo lander: $2.5B NRE, then $300M for each. https://smartech.gatech.edu/bitstream/handle/1853/8368/AIAA-2005-4010.pdf ---------- Post added at 01:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ---------- Slow down. You also need to get it to the Moon and it takes another 3 days. Meh...

Depends on the conference.

Naaaaaah. The problem is something else. Since reviewers don't get paid, then a reviewer who gets the paper throws it at the bottom of the drawer and will only read it after three months and multiple e-mail reminders from the editor. AIAA lets through some hilariously bad papers. That...

Funnily enough, the South Pole-Aitken Basin (SPA) sample return is the most requested mission by the planetary geology community, yet, one which repeatedly cannot get the funding. SPA mission presents a paradox: it's understood that analysing SPA geology is critical to understanding the...

Contrary. (PRA = Physical Review A etc., PRL = Physical Review Letters)

Probably. Measurement produced 0.95 +/- 0.25 c. https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn3232-first-speed-of-gravity-measurement-revealed/ Most physicists believe that it propagates at c, because if it moved faster (i.e. instantaneously) it would break causality, and there is no logical reason...

And here we see how the peer-review system is broken :) as in most cases publication takes 6 months, not 20 days. ---------- Post added at 09:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ---------- Cute. Meow. This would actually be audible :)

Finally, an instagram I can follow! https://www.instagram.com/juniperfoxx/

Oh well. It seems I did not put my Log facility into Orb::Connect. Sorry for confusing you :) Check for NULL returned by oapiGetVesselByName() otherwise it's going to crash if you mistype the ship name.

Ah yes, that's the textbook way of getting the VESSEL object :) Add this: if ( shipHandle == NULL ) return "ERRxx"; Now, your code crashes when you mistype vessel name. Also add if ( pCandidateVessel == NULL ) return "ERRxx"; in case someone sends planet name as a ship name. ----------...

Because you don't understand how Orbiter works. On vessel creation (oapiCreateVessel()) the core will call ovcInit() function in the vessel's module to create the object representing the vessel (derived from class VESSEL). This object is then being passed around in Orbiter. Thus in...

Um. In the Shuttle-A module, what does the vessel creation function actually return? For your trick to work it must return ShuttleAVesselCtrl* , and not "pure" VESSEL3. Otherwise you are trying to call a ShuttleAVesselCtrl method on VESSEL3 object which obviously will not work (because...

Hi, 1. First off get the newest version of Orb::Connect: Orb::Connect::Web 3.19. This build, in addition to adding HTTP server, also fixes some bugs the old version had. (You can still use the old socket interface, no problem). 2. Install orbiter in c:\orbiterDEV\orbiter100830 3. Install the...

Very good primer on Strauss-Howe starting at 17:00.

What's so difficult here? They did not notice the debris, because they were not told to look for it. Once they started looking for it though (after the crash), it turned up pretty quickly. Turns out that the military also snapped these pictures without being asked:

Adm. Hyman Rickover would like a word. You should take into account that since there were 3 requests for DOD imagery, then apparently people closer to the business than yourself have a different opinion. Maybe it's because that this what you believe to be impossible was already done back in...

Yes, that's precisely the problem. The leadership was unable to acknowledge that it is dealing with an abnormal situation and pushed on pretending that the flight was nominal. In fact, one of the managers even actively acted to block the request for DOD imagery which would have demonstrated...

Meh. Imagine deorbit 1 rev later and then we will talk.
