Not the right assessment... The selection of polar or equatorial lunar orbit is purely one of desire. The two are absolutely the same when it comes to Delta-V Margin. The choice must be made before time of launch during the planning stage. A few arc seconds of trajectory change during transit...

Timeline: ? Last World War... Model Name/Manufacturer: Davies Large Sedan/Scientific Design and Industry Automotive Division. Model Type/Class: Family car. Body Style: Four door sedan Model Year: 1925 Nation of Origin: United States ( Heartland of America in ATL) Production run: 1925... Sells...

If FDR was not the worst, Who was? It is hard for a student of history and economics not to think that FDR was not far and away the worst POTUS ever! He and his Crony policies caused the World Wide Depression! That in turn caused WW-II because it brought Hitler to power and sustained Stalin...

There are several problems with the show; 1. How can they ever run out of spare parts with replicator tech? 2. Why on earth would they need to cooperate with prior enemies? 3. Given the liberal predilections of all involved, why are the factions so anti each other? 4. Given the past demonstrated...

Not WW-II vintage bombs! They were all reasonably new manufacture Mk-80 serries bombs. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the bombs, or their fuzes. The fault was with the Argi Pilots who screwed the pooch as they say.

What is the thing with dirigibles? Why on earth would you want one once a reliable aircraft engine makes safe trans atlantic flight possible? The Lawrance-Wright R-790 of 1925, IIRC.

Depends on the details? How has the EU done in the long run? What do they do now and what do they do if the half dozen or so most profligate socialist nations default? How would this be beneficial to South & Central America? On the other hand, if the did it in such a way that no individual...

Single biggest effect of Oswald's failure; Kennedy was a fiscal conservative. WO Johnson screwing the pooch, there is no need for a conservative revolution? The Republicans do not have to cram civil rights down the Dems throats and the "Great Society" never happens!

No problem until now! No problem until now! The bomb was not put together by specialists, but by scientists and ordinary mechanics. 500% of the team is easily replaceable! I do not know where you are going with this, but the pace of bomb construction is inevitable! There will be three bombs...

Boy were you short changed in history classes! The NAZIs are the left wingers! Didn't they teach you that NAZI stands for National Zocialist? The only reason they could come to power in the first place is that they were aided by their fellow leftists in England and France! They could have...

Why in GODs name would you think this a good thing? All I can think of is that this is one of those "The NAZIs win WW-II" types of thread to then see how the good guys come back to save the day! So far this has not happened and England is still in the crapper because of it! In 1900, the...

This is certainly the best plan to retain most/some portion of the "Empire"! But it fails uterly to address the single most important and significant fact! For Briton to remain/become a super power, it MUST avoid the trap of Socialism! Use the huge debt at the end of the war to end all of the...

Where to start? Fighter-Interceptors can and do run with the engine at very high revs for the few minutes it takes to fight or climb to altitude. This gives them distinct advantages when compared to bombers which hold the same throttle pos for hours on end! No fighter plane from any Nation...

PS, I forgot part two... The top effective altitude of the B-29 is about 10-12,000 feet above that of the Lancaster, but still WELL INSIDE the effective AAA range of almost everyone's medium Flak guns and all fighter planes. The only reason why any Nation looked at guns larger than ~90 mm is...

While it is theoretically possible for a MODIFIED Lancaster to carry the "Little Boy" bomb, the "Fat Man" was out of the question. The range published in all the books and most articles is irrelevant to actual performance. The Lancaster's "Best Possible" published ranges go up to about 4100...

The performance when compared to other prop planes was absolutely stellar! The top speed of 393 MPH at a time when the fastest B-50 and B-36 could not make 360 MPH and, again depending on load and range considerations could cruise at 361 MPH with a bomb load of 16,000 pounds over a range at 245...

Hate to pop your balloons, but... The first jet engines were made around the turn of the century, BEFORE WW-I! There were at least four working examples made long before WW-II, none of which could effectively power a plane. One of them required three compressors in parallel to force enough air...
