I was half expecting the porcupine to survive and burst out of the snake’s stomach cavity like an Alien...

Holy crap, that’s a natural claymore mine.

The last of the V8 Interceptors.

Oh, right the ‘anonymous one’. That was so funny putting up his identity anyway :D

I’m in my thirties still studying and struggling to piece together varied industry experience into a coherent, functional career while battling Stingy Oriental Bosses (tm) at every turn.

I got an F-22 as well lol

Vulkan looks like a perfect application of the philosophy used in earlier versions of Kerbal Space Program: moar booster.

That’s really interesting - I haven’t known the Shuttle was considered for Lunar rendezvous. Sounds a lot like what they were doing in Armageddon and the director or someone mentioning “it was plausible technology” in some ‘making of...’ video.

True enough the Space Station could also be a reality without the Shuttle - all we need to do is copy the Russian method of having autonomous docking systems on station modules that have integrated propulsion systems.

Mir also had a very interesting method of moving existing or incoming modules around with a robotic…

Awesome! Didn’t know bombs could be skipped on land. Delay fuze + momentum of course.

I’ve been living in the underbelly of Singapore and I enjoyed reading your commentary.

It’s very good to see honest feedback about my country - usually what we get is all the glorious reviews about Singapore being world’s no. 1 in various things while a lot of people on the street have good qualifications and family…

I rarely comment on here for fear of having a totally different world view from most :)

I just wanted to say thanks for the realistic critique for ‘my’ country. It’s a very different thing to view Singapore from the outside perspective, and actually living here.

It’s a bit strange existing in a city-state that touts…

I gazed, perplexed and fascinated by the greasy sight for 15 full minutes.

A bit late to the party... but NASA had a similar idea including conversion to fixed wing mode!

Whoa, Corvette sales would definitely shoot up after that :)

I'd imagine it's taking off into the wind too, and strong headwinds are a big plus to forward airspeed.

Can just imagine the trainee go

"But there's a man on the wing!"

"I don't care, Full power!!!"

By that time, hopefully the craft has so little airspeed that it would gracefully come to a stop resting on that wingtip.

The rotating core was constructed using Infernal Robotics' "Docking Washer (Free Moving)" parts fore and aft of the rotor bearing, so it spins freely in the middle.

Sure! All you need is a spinning set of wings, with rockets or jets to power them. Think simple like a paper helicopter.
