You should check out the Artemis I engineering footage.


Red Dragon? Falcon 9 Booster 24-hr turn around? The plethora of missed milestones required to land on the moon's surface?


Metro?


I'm only here for the free U2 album.

Conventional jet engines run at RPMs in excess of 20000rpm. To get this same speeds for the same mass flown rates of say a J79 (F4-Phantom) you'd be looking at some massive electric motors. Conventional jet engines would be using electric motors if they were light enough already.

There is a reason Rolls-Royce UltraFan uses a speed reducing gearbox for it's fan blades and not an electric motor.

More to the point above, at hypersonic speeds, using a conventional compressor is sort or useless unless you can keep your air cool.


Virgin Orbit anyone?


Maintaining a pressure boundary becomes ever more difficult with increase in size, and therefore cost and engineering complexity.


Roughly how many hours did Euan spend to complete this piece of work?


Ever heard of ITAR? As a European I find the US's reluctance to adhere to EU law double standard.


AFAIK ITAR applies to US Persons so that would be how the US is able to enforce that worldwide. A better example would be all the KYC and other laws surrounding the use of US currency.


Ever heard of the Golden Rule? He who has the gold makes the rule.


I highly recommend AccuBattery for Android. I have been using it for a few years now and I saw a noticeable difference on my Pixel 3a XL compared to use on previous smart phones. I now have a Pixel 6 and its nearly 2-years old and the battery lasts well beyond 30-hrs with combined use.

My previous phone was an iPhone XS and its battery was also completely fine for 2 years. Year 5, I definitely noticed a drop in battery life. If you're planning on keeping your phone for 5+ years, definitely do the 80% thing. If you're on a 2 year upgrade cycle, it probably doesn't matter.
