Haha WOW. I read up on its roots, but still, wow.

First OS I really used. I touched on a DOS system before it, but I was really young and we just had to follow a sheet on the wall of the lines to type on how to start games... so it doesn’t really count.

By far the best deal on this list. Mostly because it’s actually affordable for something that (hopefully) drives.

Makes sense.

Agreed, thanks for the insight

Thanks, that makes sense. I didn’t know that the boosts had that much of an impact (or that there were videos of this available!). I know for example that any significant delta vee would tear it apart.

I agree with this, this makes sense. But I still don’t understand how this will be an issue. The mass of the trash is much smaller than the mass of the ISS, so proportionally the “push” and impact on the ISS would be “smaller” or have less of an effect than that on the trash. Could this push not act as the boost the…

Well I suppose you trump my BASc in Mechanical Engineering and Masters course in orbital mechanics. That makes me sad... could you elaborate because now I’m curious as to why it won’t work, shouldn’t the force required to impart the required delta vee be well within the strength of the ISS’s structure? Or are there…

Haha I’m not saying that I’ve looked into this and that it’ll definitely work or anything. I do have a basic understanding of orbital mechanics though.

But the mass of the trash is much less than the ISS, the impulse required to push a mass of trash away from the ISS would be more or less the same as the capsule that…

Depends on the amount of force required, you could use it to augment the periodic bump the ISS requires to counteract atmospheric drag and stay in LOE. ISS ways much more than 7 tons, and “cannon” just sounded cool, not sure the actual mechanism you would use, although a rail gun would be pretty awesome...

I guess giving 7 tonnes of trash a “small push” is no easy feat, but invention of “space trash cannon” for such a task sounds much better to me... :)

I assume because it’d still be in the same orbit as the ISS and would add to the space junk. By attaching it to a capsule that can maneuver under power into a retrograde orbit and back into the atmosphere; this way the trash is “disposed of” as opposed to becoming space junk until the orbit deteriorates sufficiently…

‘Ramble on...

Loving all the Jeep trucks...

This makes it all worth it.

...size of Timbits...

I understand this. This is awesome. Who cares about the amount of work and all the filth?

J-trucks are the best, good luck!

So this is for sale near me:

My favourite here... (referring to tractor!)
