    The ESA With a TKS Like Spacecraft?

    That's the question. Looking at the ISS there generally seems to have been three times the cargo missions as crew missions. Need to sit down and get a better idea of what a potential ESA might try and do.
  2. Fear Nothing But God: A Graphical History

    I want too see how Africas doing.
  3. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    I'd actually really be interested in reading about that. I know the Soviets put a lot of effort into doing things like repackaging Lend Lease aid to remove references to Capitalist companies and the US. The incident in particular I was thinking of involved the Soviets repackaging Food as being...
  4. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Or I can admit to the mistake on my part and RETCON. :happyblush
  5. WI Napoleonic France one century earlier

    To be fair, Louis XIV's style of governance was pretty hands-on. Indeed, this was arguably a reason for France's underperforming in the 18th century -- their government only really worked with an unusually energetic and competent monarch at the helm, which Louis XIV's successor weren't. If our...

    Henry the Young King lives, but what happens to Aquitaine?

    It neutralizes the Hohenstauffens as Capetian allies.
  7. Discussion: What if Edmund, Earl of Rutland survives Wakefield?

    We don't know much about the second son of Richard of York since he died at age 17. But, what if he had survived? Could being further from the throne keep Clarence from switching sides? Could Edward having a brother closer in age to him (less in awe, more likely to take him to task) keep him...

    Threadmarks: 21 February 1941. El Agheila, Libya

    21 February 1941. El Agheila, Libya The Royals, (1st The Royal Dragoons), were in the process of taking over the duties of the 11th Hussars, who were returning to Egypt for a well deserved rest and refit. Although they’d been in Palestine since before the beginning of the war, the Royals were...
  10. How would a hypothetical Socialist USA look back on it's past history?

    That's a good question. The American Revolutionary War would be seen as a national-liberation struggle, and thus as inherently progressive. The establishment of a bourgeois-democratic state in the aftermath of the revolution would also be seen as progressive, considering the historical...
  11. AHC: is it feasible if the world started diversfying away from fossil fuels much earlier

    We're talking about a solar-thermal plant. There aren't "broken panels" to replace. In any case, it's not as if fossil-fueled plants don't require maintenance--in fact, quite a lot of maintenance, if you don't want boiler explosions and other disasters. The degree of maintenance required by a...

  13. Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    Closer to Stalin BELIEVING that to be the case, at least as far as "contaminating" (to use Stalin's term) the Soviet people with Capitalist ideas. Stalin knew that the outward trapping of a capitalist society would be exceptionally attractive to the Soviet people (I mean EVERYBODY had a...

    Why are the western allies bombing civilians?

    The funny thing about an air force is that you can do NONE of that and have it be an effective air force.

  17. Kentucky Fried Politics: A Colonel Sanders Timeline

    Not sure what surprised me more - Ross ultimately bowing out, or Grammer winning the primaries virtually unanimously (I mean, I figured he'd win regardless, but not by that much).

    What would the political benefits of that match be?

    Everything Has Gone Green: The Consequences of Googling Murray Bookchin

    Just got finished watching 1992 and 1993 and I love it so much! Stefano Accorsi's character is really interesting to me.
