I wonder if that car had previously struck an animal or something. Then the tiger smelled some tasty dead stuff and decided to have a snack.

I must have misread that when I responded.

DCSS can put payloads directly into GEO as well ( I think Centaur can too, but not as much mass ) but it’s the on-station time that’s the issue as neither can generate power in space and they run out of helium and reaction controll propellant pretty quick. With ACES they’ll be able to do much more complex maneuvers…

I guess I don’t watch enough. :)

I wasn’t claiming to be an expert on ejection seats. In fact I made it pretty clear in my post that I don’t believe myself to be an authority on the topic.

So you’re saying it goes above everyone else?

I don’t know exactly, launch planners are smarter than I am, but that’s what they do.

Easiest way to win would be to forgo the parachute.

They’d probably die from the acceleration alone, assuming you could get it to fly straight at all in the first place.

Nobody’s being rude about it, so it’s fine.

I’m pretty sure the kick motors are options in the launch catalog. It’s a modular launch system, there’re many configurations.

I feel like the hill deserves at least 2/3 of the credit.

Depends on how you define “supercar”. If you use a broader definition then probably the 911 Turbo, if not, then maybe a V-12 Lambo because they have long production cycles.

Open wheel drivers crash all the damn time.

I already didn’t like Bond movies, but holy fucking Christ is that some schlocky bullshit. I’m glad I never watched those ones.

At first I thought those were giant 2+ meter firearms, but then I realized that those are just tiny people.

I regret the consequences when I get in trouble too. Not because of guilt, or repentance, but just because I got caught and had to face them.

The ejection seat wasn’t for him though. I don’t think Bond would care if his passenger didn’t make it, he’s kind of an asshole.
