If I ever find two replicas, I'll send one to you. With only four race cars and one road car built, I'll never see an original. The one pictured above is a replica either made for The New Avengers or based on the car in that series.
Yes
I've always preferred the M100. It just sounds to me more like it has more of a soul than any MB engine since.
Seconded
The economics of refueling in space do not and will not make sense until we can manufacture fuel in orbit or elsewhere in space. Satellites, like the X-37, which can land for refuelling make more sense.
One, that's a disaster waiting to happen, and two, no government will stand for that. It is not only agianst a few international laws, but it also makes it easier to take out the few satellites North Korea will have in orbit with what will appear as accidents.
That short lifespan is the reason a multiple segment reflector is not feasible. The satellite could be made larger to carry more fuel but then you are looking at even more work to assemble it in orbit. The satellites the United States currently uses for surveillance, whatever the resolution, are probably good enough.…
My two favorite Split-Windows would have to be the Jaguar XK120 and for the rear the DeTomaso Mangusta.
There is a problem with large reflectors on satellites. Drag. Satellites with large surface areas require more fuel to maintain orbit which would make a multi-part mirror for surveillance impractical. The JAMES Webb Space Telescope will positioned at L2 and expierience very little drag allowing for such a large…
