Failed Soviet designs

At least I think

There's quite a few nuclear reactors in the solar system

@Hammond_of_Texas because you suck

Soviets just didnt give a toss when it came to nuclear stuff like

Obviously lol

vat is safety Dimitry?

They were poorly designed satellites using these small fission reactors that invariably melted down, so they just jettisoned the reactor part into higher orbit.

"the explosions from these grenades could be picked up by equipment on the ground which then allowed scientists to estimate the average density and temperature of the air at the heights the rocket managed to reach."

VADIM! No need to make missiles accurate just make boom bigger

That’s a pretty cool experiment

See who needs a functional design when you just keep adding thrusters to it

Blyat

me on ksp^

Back during the dust bowl people would set off missiles in the sky to try and seed rain clouds

Ive seen one of those

At a little local museum in Oklahoma

Their reasoning being “it always rains after major battles”

Unsurprisingly it went nowhere

Some county museum that probably gets a single visitor a month

I think it was just con artists trying to make easy dosh during the depression

How many dosh

Basically farmers paying them to set off fireworks in their back yard

Failed soviet rocket
