Just curious, just how much force does rocket exhaust exert on nearby items in space?
<awang>
I remember reading about having to be careful around the ISS to avoid RCS exhaust impinging upon something important
<awang>
But I would imagine rocket exhaust expands quite rapidly in space
<awang>
So how much force would it actually exert?

don't know, but consider that something strong enough to push a shuttle around at full strength will easily be strong enough to mess up radiators or solar panels at 0.1%
<taniwha>
as a guess, since the gases would (try to) expand spherically, the force would be inverse-square

!tell Pap* looks like the Pioneer 10/11 and Voyager antennas are marked non RP0 and have zero cost.

!tell Pap* (also I don't know if I've mentioned this, but the 75-point R&D building upgrade only opens up a handful of techs — a lot of branches jump straight from 50 to 80)
