That's actually pretty good. Saving on mission costs :) So long as they are sturdy and reliable.
replied 2395d
Except no proof of mission. Which makes them expensive ;)

I think its hilarious that you spend all your time obsessing over the possibility that 1 cent out of your tax dollar could be wasted.
replied 2395d
You don't even question the 30+ cents of that tax dollar used to buy overpriced, overvalued tanks, fighter jets, helicopters etc. to fight a never ending war on 3rd world citizens.

Oh this was a quick turn of the topic

Glad you are enjoying yourself. Still looking for descent videos other than
replied 2395d
Well the one in the picture this month is not in space. And the one in STS-107 died on re-entry during the Columbia disaster.
replied 2395d
Yeah, Columbia is the only video documented descent I know of. Do you have any other videos of descent?
replied 2395d
You mean something like this?:
replied 2395d
sinilar, yes, lol, but from space at about 8,000 m/s speed not about 100 m/s speed.
replied 2395d
So, like this?
replied 2395d
Better, but still no proof of human inside. A vid from inside shootle would be nice.
replied 2395d
So, like this?

Also the last stage, from 43 min on is all subsonic.

Also the temp inside is a balmy 80-90 F, and you say outside is 4000 F? Dont see any air coniditioning ;)

So now you don't believe in heat shields?
replied 2395d
We're still on a topic of video proof of descent, right ?
replied 2395d
I would need some of these heat shields myself. Where can I buy them? Amazon? It is only 100 F outside here. It should not be a problem, considering they work so well at 2000-4000 F

Equating shuttle heat shields to air conditioners for a house?
replied 2395d
No. Equating 90 F in my home to 90 F in the space shuttle, silly.
replied 2395d
The thermodynamics of a space shuttle in re-entry are nothing like your house in the summer.
replied 2395d
You'll have to be a lot more specific to continue. I am already calling on flat earth people to talk to you!
replied 2395d
Or this?
replied 2395d
See above. Btw, these amateur made vids is best NASA can produce?

Also I see a lot of burnt material ;)
replied 2395d
NASA didn't make those. And yes, some material is lost when your blazing through the atmosphere at thousands of mph with an exterior temperature greater than 2000 degrees.
replied 2395d
The point I am making is NASA didn't make anything better either, or even anything worse,. They simply didn't document
replied 2395d
They're talking subsonnic, so approx 300-400 m/s at most.
