Given that this type of engine have about twice the exhaust velocity of the Shuttle's main engines, then if you were able to substitute...

To reach Alpha Centauri in 100 years, you would need to reach a speed of least 0.043 c (12900000 meters/sec) Given the exhaust velocity...

For simplicity's sake, we will assume a shuttle in orbit with a fully fueled external tank. IOW, we won't factor in the Solid fuel...

While Finnish does have words for "yes" and "no" It also does something similar. So for example, The question Maalaatko taulua?" ( Are...

We had my daughter and her partner over for dinner last night and had the TV tuned to a channel that was playing Christmas music on in...

The basic idea for the SOL in a vacuum is that it is invariant. Its speed relative to you as measured by you is always the same. So...
