Skylon, as I posted above, is actually a really exciting project

They're hosting the first hybrid engine ever

i like the retro aesthetic of the zeppelin though...

@Deleted User Now imagine thousands of those things going up towards a spacestation.

Isn't pledge orientation on Tuesday nights?

yes

i believe so

Announcement says it's tonight

@Reinhard Wolff Is Pledge orientation tonight or tomorrow?

Half liquid fuel rocket, half jet. It's a complicated business

Tonight, it’s usually every second Tuesday and last Saturday but I will be at a wedding this Saturday

There ya go, @Sonic ^

Thanks

No I'm saying it would be a practical solution once at high altitude. Use the hydrogen inside as rocket fuel

Haha ok thanks- just wanted to make sure newbies weren't confused.

Isn't Trump the first president married to an immigrant???

Do i need to animate this idea for you plebs? <:really:453005408064241674>

@ThisIsChris first in a long time as i remember

@ThisIsChris Would go along with the whole "nation of immigrants" tag. 😕

TL;DR Out as chairman. Remains CEO

Hmm, hopefully that means he has much the same clout.

Would be interesting to see the company start falling apart inovation wise like Apple has done since losing Jobs.

But if he's still around, maybe it'll be ok.

Although, Telsa is just a big govt subsidy isn't it?

sp?

ugh...

holy shit

a former Communist secret service agent is on the record saying that Poland's former ruling party was his idea

the one that agreed to refugee quotas before getting voted out

@Procella Eques this enginery type is the future imo

(((communist)))?

umm, that rocket is bent!

Those (((communists))) were expelled in 1968 I believe

General Gromosław Czempiński, who in 1972–1990 had been an agent of Communist secret services,[20] stated that the Civic Platform was his idea. "I can say that I participated in a number of discussions, above all, I had to convince Olechowski and Paweł Piskorski to an idea, which they excellently put into practice. I also talked to Donald Tusk

Donald Tusk is currently president of the European Council

@Deleted User is that a jet / rocket combo?

I'm watching aerospike engines right now

it significantly cuts down on wet mass because it doesn't have to carry anywhere near as much on board oxidizer since it can cool the hypersonic air enough to use in the lower atmosphere and effectively function as a jet

@Jacob EU is USSR reborn. It's weird bc I'm not surprised, but thats huge

They agreed to accept 6,200 refugees before being voted out

pretty big number for Poland
