Given nitro is shock sensitive in the first place how on earth ya gonna get it into space? Plus if you do the act of touching atmosphere even at the low denisty at 100kms is prolly going to set it off no matter..... Does sound like one great way to do Project Orion without a nuke tho. Sneeze and you are in at least 100 different orbits tho Can someone explain or point to this FOOF thread? CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 13:56 on Apr 13, 2017 |

BobHoward posted:What was the stuff Derek Lowe blogged about that explodes as soon as you turn on the IR spectrometer you're trying to use to investigate its properties because you're an insane German research chemist working in the world's most mad-scientist research institution? Use THAT for a heat shield, I dare ya. quote:It’s time for another dispatch from the land of spiderweb-cracked blast shields and “Oh well, I never liked that fume hood, anyway”. Today we have a fine compound from this line of work, part of a series derived from N-amino azidotetrazole. The reasonable response to that statement is “Now hold it right there”, because most chemists will take one look at that name and start making get-it-away-from-me gestures.

Each part of that video makes it a little bit worse. Going off the road and through the grape vines  Hitting the pole which falls towards the spectators.  Seeing sparks from the power lines.

They check out the course beforehand and write up some notes. While driving, there is a navigator who reads off the course notes to say what kind of turns are coming up, how to take the turn depending on any hazards on the inside or outside, if there are any jumps or water, and other kinds of things.

There's certainly driver skill involved. I saw a rally driving instructional video of a left-foot braking technique. The point of it was avoiding the weight transfer of letting off the throttle, and it wasn't a matter of slowing the car but having finer control of RPM. Add a good navigator with notes and that driver can run the course as if he's run it a hundred times on forza. The samir video copilot seems to call turns late. Most rally co-pilots call out the chained turns ahead of time.

That sounds super cool, especially since it would be so difficult to realistically train for some of the road hazards that they seem to glide around And Samir and his copilot have remarkably bad chemistry, like worse than Cutler and the Bears O-line. Even in the "epic rally fail" videos the navigator is usually cool as a cucumber

His last line, though, "don't tell me how to drive" when copilot's notes are very exact instructions for how Samir should drive. Love it
