TIL An orbital ring is a concept of an enormous artificial ring placed around the Earth that rotates at an angular rate that is faster than the rotation of the Earth, to keep it stable. It is intended to be used as a space station, a high speed transport system, or a space launch. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orb…
A top level comparison of the SpaceX CLD bid vs Starlab, Orbital Reef (and Axiom that did not bid).
{Elon Musk} Over time, we might get orbital payload up to ~150 tons with full reusabity. If Starship then launched as an expendable, payload would be ~250 tons. What isn’t obvious from this [BBC rocket height comparison] chart is that Starship/Super Heavy is much denser than Saturn V. twitter.com/elonmusk/stat…
Just checking if it's right to need to be at around 7000 m/s to orbit Earth with Real Solar System only (No Realism Overhaul or Realistic Progression). Also, using KSC Switcher, which launch site is the best to get to the mun and the general orbital plane in the rest of the solar system.
I also have Real Exoplanets but I don't think that makes a difference plus I have a bunch of other mods which are unrelated. Also, just wondering if the orbital plane is meant to be tilted so much?

[FWI] In 2030, the USA makes a surprise disclosure: a 99%+ effective missile defense system that protects 100% of the continental states, Hawaii, and key areas of Alaska. This includes high altitude and orbital launch attacks.
The USA is now effectively immune to any external nuclear and ballistic missile attack, regardless of point of origin.

Filing BW3 with Spain instead of PNG means Spain takes responsibility for orbital debris risks in a way PNG did not. Erasing a major concern of FCC regulators. It makes Spain the country responsible for the launch even if it is from US soil. Spain signed the Space Liability Convention. reddit.com/gallery/r70xvk
SpaceX fires up Starship SN20 prototype in key 6-engine test (video). The Starship SN20 vehicle ignited all six of its Raptor engines in a brief "static fire" test. SN20 is being groomed to launch atop a Super Heavy on the first-ever Starship orbital test flight. space.com/spacex-starship…
Not sure if this has been mentioned before but this report of the NASA SCIFLI team seems to have revealed their plan to track the Starship orbital test with infrared cameras and the possible launch date aiming around March 2022 (source: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20210020835) reddit.com/gallery/rma9nu
The recent Chinese hypersonic missile tests have fueled concerns about an accelerating arms race between the U.S., China, and Russia.
