Got the moves! I see big future for you!

Depends on your nuke. The nuclear weapons which were being designed for Orion would not leave heavy amounts of waste radiation. You can design any bomb, even a nuclear one, to focus it's energy in a pattern. For an Orion, you need as much energy as possible against that pusher plate. That mea...

@Hope2009pc The first version was not released until 1990, on the Missing Links Volume II album. The second recorded version was released on The Birds, The Bees and the Monkees album, this version was on "Then and Now.... The Best of the Monkees" and the last version I know of was released as a ...

@Pfw51 Peter Tork was also a musician, and used to perform with Steven Stills pre Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young days. Mike Nesmith was, however, a more talented musician and composer, and eventually founded Pacific Arts.

@ruger7226 -- The average total salary and compensation for public teachers in Wisconsin is $42,598. During the summer they are required to attend courses to keep their skills in tact, which can occupy up to 60 hours during the week, or else they loose their teaching certification. And my comme...

@michaeljyu - Actually, the most powerful engine goes to the Russian RD-170, but only barely. The F-1 produces 1,740,134 lbf, while the RD-170 produces 1,773,000 lbf. The F-1, however, did it with a single combustion chamber, while the Russians used 4. They mastered multi-chambered engines bac...

@davisgreen2020 -- No, it shouldn't. Ares V could not work, the design was bad. The Engineers which worked on it said it would never work, period. They even proposed designs which do work. Ares V is broken, thanks to Ares I. If we had stuck to the original ESAS Ares III/IV/V arrangement as t...

@mohaveminutemen -- Fully agreed. I'll admit I don't follow Chemtrails, because if you ever check, the #1 financer for Chemtrail websites are groups and companies backed by Koch Industries, owner of Oxbow Corporation, a huge coal conglomerate. Koch also funds groups like the Federalist Society...

For making up it sounds better than most of the planned out stuff out there.

Part of his budget proposal involved turning public employee positions into political appointments.

@pointmanzero -- The Shuttle is not a lunar capable craft. I am talking what each launcher, as is, can deliver to lunar space. The Shuttle's RS-25 engines (SSME) are high-energy, and can put the shuttle into a very high-energy parabolic orbit. The Shuttles OME engines are Hypergolic, and can f...

@ThePingasMightier Nuclear bombs can be clean, there's little incentive to make them so when they're to be used for blowing things up. For Orion, focused energy bombs, with all of the energy focused at the pressure plate, if the plate utilizes a radiation absorbing material (like depleted Uraniu...
