KAERO: Odpor te netrapi, o tolik vetsi nebude a se sesti velkejma motorama si to muzes dovolit. Dtto hmotnost. Naproti tomu podves? Nekolikanasobne vyssi podvozek, ted to vypada na neco pres dva metry, kdyby se pod nej mel vejit i naklad, tak budes najednou nekde na sesti, osmi metrech, mozna deseti. Coz bych rekl, ze je zatracena komplikace, at uz konstrukcne, stabilitou pri startu a pristani ale treba i pristupem k vlastnimu nosici pri udrzbe (jo, a co hangar?). Plus samozrejme mnohem slozitejsi manipulace s nakladem: budes s nim klickovat mezi tema dlouhejma nohama podvozku? Nebo bude ukotvenej daleko v kridlech, ktery kvuli tomu budou komplikovanejsi? A kam bys ho zatahoval do kridla? Dalsi vec, kdyz mas velkej payload v podstate presne v ose symetrie a v tezisti a odhodis ho, letovy vlastnosti se ti (krome "skalarni" hmotnosti a souvisejiciho) nezmenej. Kdybys to mel v podvesu, tak ti v okamziku odhozu najednou vyskoci jak teziste, tak pusobiste odporu o par metru nahoru. Ooops, to nechces.

Imho ta cena za dva trupy je nesrovnatelna s komplikacema, kterej by podves prinesl.

SpaceX set to join rare company by re-flying an orbital spacecraft | Ars Technica
https://arstechnica.com/...17/05/spacex-set-to-join-rare-company-by-re-flying-an-orbital-spacecraft/

NASA will make an announcement about the agency’s first mission to fly directly into our sun’s atmosphere during an event at 11 a.m. EDT Wednesday, May 31, from the University of Chicago’s William Eckhardt Research Center Auditorium. The event will air live on NASA Television and the agency’s website.

The mission, Solar Probe Plus, is scheduled to launch in the summer of 2018. Placed in orbit within four million miles of the sun’s surface, and facing heat and radiation unlike any spacecraft in history, the spacecraft will explore the sun’s outer atmosphere and make critical observations that will answer decades-old questions about the physics of how stars work. The resulting data will improve forecasts of major space weather events that impact life on Earth, as well as satellites and astronauts in space.

XCHAOS: Oběžná dráha jim ještě utekla, ale i tak to bylo mnohem lepší než třeba 1.let Falconu 1 ;) Na první test dobrý.

NASA to Discuss First Science Results from Juno Mission to Jupiter | Mission Juno
https://www.missionjuno.swri.edu/news/nasa-to-discuss-results-from-juno-mission

Scientists from NASA’s Juno mission to Jupiter will discuss their first in-depth science results in a media teleconference at 11 a.m. PDT (2 p.m. EDT) Thursday, May 25, when multiple papers with early findings will be published online by the journal Science and Geophysical Research Letters.

The teleconference participants are:

Diane Brown, program executive at NASA Headquarters in Washington
Scott Bolton, Juno principal investigator at Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio
Jack Connerney, deputy principal investigator at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland
Heidi Becker, Juno radiation monitoring investigation lead at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California
Candy Hansen, Juno co-investigator at the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, Arizona

me se zrovna nedavno ptal v resortu (v Kanade) chlapek u stanice lanovky, jak jsme vysoko, tak mu ukazuju ten napis pulmetrovejma ciframa: "tamhle to mas napsany, 1850 metru" a chlapek na to "no ja to vidim, ale ja jsem z Floridy" :D

BIDAK: amici zvladnou pojmout vyraz "metric ton", tak by mohli pouzivat tohle. ani kratka ani dlouha tuna neni 1000 kg. ja se zase nevyznam v tom, kdyz leti do vesmiru - jsou to namorni nebo normalni mile? a zmeni se to kdyz raketa preleti pobrezi? :)

KAERO: Když oni maj eště krátký a dlouhý tuny... v tom se nikdo nevyzná.

SN0WCRASH: Libra na čtvereční palec!

TOXICMAN: ocividne este z doby, nez v NASA presli na SI. Tie ich americke lakte za otcenas a kredence za sekundu ma vzdy slusne popletu. WTF is a state mile.

RLSO: je to tohle?
