Old Kentucky Shark posted:The only missile defense weapons that work from space are nuclear powered, and by nuclear powered I mean they are atomic bombs. not necessarily. quote:The typical depiction of the tactic is of a satellite containing a magazine of tungsten rods and a directional thrust system. (In science fiction, the weapon is often depicted as being launched from a spaceship, instead of a satellite). When a strike is ordered, the launch vehicle would brake[1] one of the rods out of its orbit and into a suborbital trajectory that intersects the target. As the rod approaches periapsis and the target due to gravity, it picks up immense speed until it begins decelerating in the atmosphere and reaches terminal velocity shortly before impact. The rods would typically be shaped to minimize air resistance and maximize terminal velocity. we've never done it because a) delivering such a weapon platform into space would be incredibly expensive and b) icbm's and regular planes with bombs do the same trick for cheaper.

is maggie haberman a journalist worth reading reporting of? I'm seeing her get a bunch of mentions in my feed but she seems like a generic press pool reporter. How's her analysis overall? Centrist melt, full communism now, ...?

I'm curious - from an engineering perspective, how do you stop a usb device from autostarting, assuming that at least part of the functionality will be input devices like keyboards and mice? As in how do you make it secure to function as a bootable usb drive without also compromizing the security?

it's going to work too. Not for the millions who have tapped out of politics or who already hate him, but it will absolutely energize his base. now watch as trump industries starts selling limited edition trump hats, the proceeds* of which will go to help ordinary americans through this crisis, only 199 apiece *some of the proceeds** **5 percent
