When I reached the rank of Major, I unlocked the Longbow variant of Bright Star Industries Kolibri-class light fighter. It comes with 8 hardpoints and I put Dawn Strike lasers on 6 of them. Come to today's playtest at 14:30 EST to see it in action! discord.gg/intheblack

The ability to get a strike force anywhere and fast is of vast strategic value, and the future may dropships landing anywhere on a planet within minutes.

Right underneath the nose of the F-35 is the most advanced radar system in production. It is called the Active Electronically Scanned Array, but referred to as AESA.
Hear an F-35 test pilot explain more:

Skipping is the best way to get around in low gravity:

This is based on gait simulations that found, for example, on Mars walking was predicted at 1.1 m/s, at 2.0 m/s running minimized “effort”, while skipping minimized “fatigue”.

By the way, did you notice this? The entire plot of Interstellar was moot because the problem got solved entirely off-camera by people doing asteroid mining and in-space industry here in our own Solar System. The main characters returned to discover everything had been solved.

Have you ever wondered if you had what it takes to be an Engine Test Stand 1 Technician at Jackass Flats during NERVA? Well, you may never know, but at least you can read the indoctrination course manuals!

A lunar base should be NASA's next goal in space. We've been planning one for 70 years. Way past time we established a permanent science exploration presence on that barely explored part of Earth (the Moon *is* part of Earth) — like we did in Antarctica in the 1950s.

Look at the number of stick and throttle adjustments an F/A-18 fighter pilot makes on approach to a carrier landing:

And in the final moment, the throttle is pushed to maximum to help push the plane back into the air in case the arrestor wires fail.

One of the best pages on @nyrath's Atomic Rockets websites is the Common Misconceptions list.
The are no green stars, aliens won't come for our water and there's a difference between fuel and propellant:

I used to think that there was no sane use for a 'Doomsday Orion' craft with its 8.25 gigaton yield fusion warhead.
But then I compared it to the yields necessary to disrupt truly dangerous large asteroids... and even it might be insufficient.

It's fun to try and follow 'family trees' of related designs.

Galileo Galilei was born on this day in 1564. A physicist and astronomer, Galileo made many important discoveries, including the four largest moons of Jupiter, called the Galilean satellites (pictured here in a composite image).

Well this is surprising.
67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, the asteroid that @ESA_Rosetta visited, is softer than cotton candy. Single digit Pascal tensile strength. You could probably *swim* into its nucleus.
