But yeah I think these are sometimes considered the first rockets because they exploded
Why would you attach a sword to that?
whereas the earlier ones were just arrows that flew faster
Fuck man
why not put swords on everything
Anywhere my only point here is that the meme really does not give a fair shake to Asians
The fucking *plow* was apparently invented in China
It would probably make it slower
and Steppe horse people(Iranians or Turks or Mongols) appear to have invented hte wheel
Yeah it probably would, though I could also see it being an early understanding of ballistics
"If we put pointy shit at the end of our bombs, they fly straighter"
"put a fuckin' sword on it, Rajneesh, see if that helps"
>Arrows are for sissies, real men throw swords!
They had rockets in the Napoleon era
They were shit
And not widely used
Why use a rocket when you can use a Cannon
More accuracy
Have have gunpowder
And everything else needed might as well use a Cannon
Yeah definitely cannons were better
Though the first version of everything is going to be pretty shit
Took like 400 years for guns to be anything other than cheaper, shittier bows
Yup
I figure that the rockets were more shit to scare the shit out of horses
The swords probably made a spooky woosh noise too
Yeah they screamed like fireworks do
But military fireworks
Also I figure the real reason why black people never invented much other than the very earliest techs like spears is mainly because of mosquitos and tstse flies
Recalling the video I posted earlier, it's interesting how the Germans had to mix water in so the rocket fuel didn't melt the engines on the V2.
I feel like that could have also ended in disaster
what with bubbles
Course rockets are fucky things
Like the first(and only) rocket plane the germans fielded
At least soviets
plywood for planes works if you're cheap and don't give a shit about the people flying them
