Kangra posted:In the Ace of Spades analysis I think you meant World War II Airborne unit, and it was actually only one regiment of one division (the 506th Parachute Infantry, part of the 101st Airborne) that used spades as insignia. Each unit of the 101st marked their helmets with a card suit representing their regiment; in that case it's not really an ace of spades, just a spade. Amusingly enough for a superstition that was supposed to have transpired from the French to the Vietnamese, there's no remarkable superstition about cards in France.

Neruz posted:Liquid hydrogen coolant would be so explosive Liquid nitrogen should have greater heat capacity than helium. And be less of a pain to acquire. Also they shouldn't do this because the thermal stress on the barrel wouldn't be pretty. And that thing must stay powered all the time just to avoid malfunction too. That's why they should watercool it instead, works, is semi-reliable, not a giant hassle to fix.
