Due to the graphic and immature nature of the following program, we suggest you don't listen to it. *Pause* At all. *Pause* No, seriously. The next sixty minutes contains scatalogical humor and cringeworthy sexual innuendos. Don't say we didn't warn you.

...apparently, not.

I think if someone were to do that they would get upvoted into low orbit at derpibooru.

Also yes I like soarin as well.

Look I'm not saying I ship people, or that I ship you people. I don't have ships. I just think it would be adorable if some of you lot got together and magic happened, that's all.  

You say "you lot" as if you're not in on this shit. Come 'ere, boy

Frost, I've been living with my gay best friend for like three years now. If I haven't discovered my latent bisexual tendencies yet, it's probably because they don't exist. =P Or I'm extra-super repressed, this is also possible.

I dunno dude, it's possible to be that repressed. I used to be homophobic. Look at me now, gay-bashing middle-school me!

This. Of course, in my case there's also the factor that I was raised in an environment that said Charles Darwin was an evil monster

I wasn't either of these things, though. Like, maybe I was told enough times that it was k to be gay that my subsequent denials worked along similar lines, but that'd probably be about the extent of it. Guys can be pretty and stuff, but I'm just not turned on much by the idea of having sex with 'em. /shrug

Yay, Ziltoid Radio 2 is out! Listening.

EDIT: Aww yiss the snippets from the new album in the beginning sound great.

[Valikdu]

What do you want?:

[RoboRed]

Tasty....

[Scyto Harmony]

Whelp. This is a thing.

[Frost]

What do you want?:

And she's gonna get it, too. Just wait 'til you see the knife she's using.

[Frost]

Sidenote: While 'verifying Val's search results', I found a rather well-drawn humanized Soarin'/Dash, if anyone's interested in a link via PM

[Harmony Ltd.]

Fact : if Braeburn gets all the colts, Soarin' get them all AND the mares to.

Tasty....

So, is that a cock sauce pony ?

Personally I like Spitfire a little bit more.

Thanks for introducing me to Ziltoid, the Omni-poopjoke. I'm gonna have to go back to that intro, it's hilarious. And apparently the Ziltoid Radio's weekly, so even more of this amazing crap.  

Whelp. This is a thing.

1. It floats and looks pretty.

2. The combustion engine in your car makes constant little explosions. Every car on the road runs on continuous mini explosions. When you press the gas pedal down, it makes the explosions bigger.

3. When was the last time your thoughts were only english words? Animals don't usually have language, but they might have all the other types of thinking.

Only the first three because I got bored since they're all so stupid.

So, is that a cock sauce pony ?

It's Sriracha. Apparently some people really love it, though IMO it's good but not great.

Regarding my earlier post, incidentally, there's definitely emphasis on "much" by the way. Sometimes things get a bit fluid.

AHA! It doesn't make the explosions bigger, it makes them happen faster. Hah! I have pointed out an error (and am likely erroneous myself) and have therefore won today's internet. Wallow in defeat, fool. Wallow

Unrelated to anything, it's been brought to my attention that it's suicide awareness week.

Naturally it's more about making people try to do more to prevent suicides rather than going "Yes, they happen" and to that all I can say is while I may not be on all the time and available to talk, I am willing to listen to any and everybody here if you need me.

[Kippershy]

On that note, if anyone wants to talk to someone who has been there, done that, fucked up a few times and somehow lived despite the odds - I'm also available.

I second this you guys - I've had a lot of issues with this is the past, so if anyone wants to talk about anything you need to get through, I'm open.

[Guest]

I'm available, too. Been there, and been there for others before.

Also available to talk about heavy metal! @Derpmind, no prob! I generally get excited enough about Devin Townsend projects that I share them with everyone around me. =P

Speaking of engines and explosions there was something interesting I read a couple days ago about rockets. This company, I can't remember their name, is working on a hybrid plane/space plane. The cool thing about is it that the theory behind it is pretty sound, cause it'll rely on actually taking off the ground like a plane and as the atmosphere gets thinner and thinner rely on liquid fuel instead.

[StoneSlinger88]

Depends if your car adjusts the mixture; most don't. However in small aircraft, the pilot does this manually-- he controls how fast the explosions happen, and how much fuel is burning in the cylinder when it happens.

That would be Reaction Engine's SKYLON orbiter, designed to show off their new fancy ramjet/rocket engine

As always to anyone feel free and shoot me a message if you are feeling down.

The problem with most internal combustion engines is that they lose a lot of energy from the engine to the actual wheels. A more effecient way some companies are looking at right now is to have a extremely small engine that charges a battery or powers the wheels and have the moter in the actual wheels. The reason why that system is better is that any excess power is stored in the battery and while it does lose energy the amount of loss is far less.

For those of us whose tech-literacy ends at 'point gun at thingy and pull trigger', what's the approximate cost-per-pound of transporting things to space with SKYLON as opposed to the shuttle system?

I think it's only about a $100 to the pound instead and the overall plane is cheaper in the long run and not to mention a single stage plane versus a multistage rocket would scare potential space tourists less. So if you wanted to go to space it would cost a couple tens of thousands of dollars instead of a couple million.

The problem with the shuttle system is that it's fucking expensive. If anything we should be glad our space shuttles got scrapped, cause of the costs.

The site doesn't say beyond 'Order of magnitude reduction in cost vs. existing technology', but getting something into orbit using the shuttle costed $10,000 per pound, PER POUND, remember, a gallon of water weighs eight pounds, so you get very expensive very fast. SKYLON because it uses the ramjet to get up to mach 5, plus the shuttles were from the 80's so stuff like electronics are a lot lighter now, plus it will be unpiloted, though it doesn't look like it'll have as much payload as the shuttle did.

[Moodyman90]

Well they was the cheapest and safest things at the time. Obviously that changed but they where useful while they lasted.


Though the fact the shuttles got scrapped means that the economy around the Kennedy Space Center took a major hit because there's nobody going down there to watch the show anymore.
Me and my cousin went down there to see the last shuttle launch, it was worth it.

[Frost]

I knew it was something outrageous, but the figure of $10,000 is still surprising.

It's going to be a while (a long while, based on interest) yet before the average person can afford to go to space, but the development is encouraging.

Again, I'll PM that link to anyone who wants it

[Scyto Harmony]

Yeah, sure Frost, send it my way.

BUT, amount of tourism the kennedy space center took in vs the costs of actually launching the space shuttle is not even close to worth it.

Personally the biggest problem with our current ideas on space and space travel is we like to go big. We always invision the far future as having city sized space craft able to transport hundreds of thousands of people and land on a alien planet and exit no problem. Realistically speaking if we ever do have large space craft able to transport that amount of cargo chances are it will be constructed in space and never enter a planet's atmosphere or land on any planet and instead shuttle cargo back and forth using smaller craft.

When we ever start colonizing space we'll all probably have a shuttle to take us to a interplanetary vessel instead, because the idea of us ever making something capable of transporting millions of people into space in one go is too fucking ridiculous.
