Two variations of the NASA "SCAT 4" configuration of early SST. An elegant design for a more civilized age, it had both promise and issues. Read about it in my new book. shop.kelsey.co.uk/product/us-avi…

Jumped over 1,500 followers today. That's cool, I suppose, but damned if I know what to actually *do* with that information. Be nice to monetize it somehow but... shrug. And how many are human, how many are bots? Dunno. Shrug.

@Beowulf_i_am It'd be hilarious if China did back this, and, once that Canucks realize there's no Canadian or European RLV, they lease the place to SpaceX.

@Heccles94 Did you consent to flooding Britain with uncivilized savages to rape your women and children? Whether your answer is "yes" or "no," you have bigger concerns than American bombers flying off into the distance. Clean your room.

@UnwantedBlog Depends on the paint. Metallic paints have come on a lot in recent years: look at the Molotow chrome pens.

Photo of the full-scale Zenith Star space-based laser experiment at the Martin-Marietta Titan plant near Denver, ca 1987. Sidebar: should model kits of spacecraft like this model the smooth structure (requiring addition of foil), or the wrinkled insulation?

@UnwantedBlog Model the wrinkled insulation then advise on paint colours. Added foil never looks quite right somehow: there's a scaling problem with the wrinkles, probably analogous to how water doesn't scale in old films when the ship model was too small.

1/Ponderable: assume a "violent crime gene" was discovered and confirmed. It makes a person *far* more likely to just flip out and commit acts of violence. Should the legal response be: 1) If a person is convicted of a violent crime and is found to have the gene, should they ...
