Cyrano4747 posted:Again he got it off the ground. That’s not as simple as “floor it and pull stick back” I've only flown Cessnas, but at least in Cessnas, it is actually that simple. I can't imagine it's *tons* harder in a twin engine turboprop, especially one with digital engine controls where it automatically matches thrust.

Having flown in plenty of dash-8's I can say that roll must have been terrifying and awesome. I would have been waiting for the engines to rattle off

What's the reason for the Kilo class not having an upper part of the rudder? Is that for a specific purpose or just because?

GotLag posted:What's the reason for the Kilo class not having an upper part of the rudder? Is that for a specific purpose or just because? Kilos are mostly made for littoral/brown water operations, and Russians like(d) to keep their towed arrays in those bulbous 'doohickeys.' A towed array would be useless in shallow water, and they can't be used in deep-water boats within ~1-200 feet of the bottom or you risk dragging or damaging/snagging/losing it. Deletion of the rear sail also would give the ship a cleaner and quieter draft through the water with less wake and disruption.

Collateral Damage posted:What's Seabed Warfare? I'm guessing stuff like mine-laying/clearing, diver insertion, underwater sabotage? Right now it's deployment of sensor buoys and tapping undersea cables, also 'delousing' operations of your own submarine cables. The web site that image comes from is something of an expert on it, it's pretty cool. http://www.hisutton.com/ That Delta IV the Russians have is the mothership for various classes of spy sub; once the last Typhoon is retired it will be the world's largest operational sub.

It hits a bit harder when you remember it's autobiographical, and the story was written as an apology to the author's younger sister (i.e. Setsuko). You can see his feelings of guilt in what happens Seita.

It's been about 15 years since I saw GotF, but it didn't make me sad, it made me angry and I hate that movie. I felt the tragedy was mostly caused by the laziness and selfishness of the big brother. If I want to feel angry I'd rather watch Now and Then, Here and There.

Most I’ve been seeing is “don’t put weapons in space! Keep the military out of it” which is a ship that has already sailed.

As has been pointed out, an actual separate service is a Big Deal. A space command? Much less of a big deal. The Big Deal isn't boohoo military in space or haha, we're colonizing mars, it's stuff like setting up, from the ground up, how they recruit, train, equip, etc their entire force. Whereas a command pulls from existing forces to build a force structure. The former is much more money and manpower and legally intensive.

There is a significant difference between space weapon transit and space weapon stationing. There's a huge political difference between a secret weapon system you cannot use openly to block free navigation and use of space resources and a publicly acknowledged weapon platform that can

The lack of a space force doesn’t prevent us from developing that and the creation doesn’t force us to.

Space has been militarized since Eisenhower. It's largely not been weaponized, however. There's a difference. But also: What Alaan said.

The author agrees with you, which is why he slowly and brutally killed the character that was him in the story.
