<Starwaster>
blowfish it's used on Centaur and various satellites. Look for 'modified Lockheed equation'
<blowfish>
ahh, got it
<Starwaster>
also look for sls interim cryogenic propulsion stage (which I think is going to be a modified centaur...? not sure that is finalized)

Starwaster isn't it a modified DCSS?
<wb99999999>
in hindsight, Centaur probably can't support the load of a fueled Orion anyway...?
<Starwaster>
wb99999999 like I said it's not finalized. There's been a few proposals, who knows what it ends pu being
<blowfish>
ICPS is under construction
<blowfish>
EUS is the one that's still in development
<wb99999999>
...this construction looks...suggestive
<wb99999999>
but I think I was vaguely right about spherical tanks

ok guess I'll need a nuke for this...
<Bornholio>
how many dV do you need
<wb99999999>
honestly I'm not sure, I just had the idea of (again) sending an orbiter to Uranus
<wb99999999>
last time I did this it took me the entire Cold War to arrive
<wb99999999>
this time I want to make it a bit faster...ideally...
<Bornholio>
yeah, getting a capture is a lot, or you have to do multiple fly by and make your outgoing dv very low so you can reduce the closing velocity

<Bornholio>
my suggestion is a nuke outgoing just to have a lot of payload, then heavy main capture then drop it for RCS finalizing
<Bornholio>
but you can do it with a staged hydrolox also, everything has to get lighter tho
<wb99999999>
I think I'll just enter an highly elliptic and call that a day, Galileo style
<Bornholio>
still has the stupid low replacement numbers
<Rokker>
Bornholio: 194 ain't the worst
<Rokker>
194 less eagles in the sky
<Rokker>
Bornholio: who comes up with plane callsigns
<Rokker>
in the usaf
<Bornholio>
lt. dickweed Johnson
<Rokker>
Bornholio: there was an E-4B doing a training run yesterday on star wars day as ORDER66
<Bornholio>
Crew Chiefs and pilots
<Rokker>
so I'm wondering who the smartass was
<Bornholio>
multi-crew planes its usually the Crew Chief, they also do nose art if allowed
egg|zzz|egg has quit [Ping timeout: 198 seconds]
<Rokker>
the NMUSAF has a bunch of old 52 noseart
<Rokker>
cut off planes at AMARG
<Bornholio>
my plane is 1040 "The Watchman"
<Bornholio>
last BUFF built
<Rokker>
neat
<Bornholio>
so sad story
<Bornholio>
when my squadron left SAC we got a new Colonel, the colonels wife...
<Bornholio>
yeah bitch hated nose art
<Rokker>
well tell her to fuck off
<Bornholio>
we had to remove it all when the SAC emblems came off
<Rokker>
boooo
<Rokker>
BOOOOO
<Rokker>
Bornholio: the NMUSAF doesn't give a shit about people disliking nose art or anything. they've gotten so many complaints about their B-24 that it's funny
<Rokker>
their B-24 is named the Strawberry Bitch
<Bornholio>
thing is most of the art was really nice and not sexualized either
<Bornholio>
i mean the watchman was just the album cover art
<Rokker>
so she was just spiteful

question: have M-1 to be actually build, could it satisfy its performance goal at all?

M-1 was cancelled inthe middle of testing in '65
