Do you have any estimates of when the nearly-full "M" 75mm DMS motor might release and a ballpark MSRP?

It most likely was a truck bomb. Ignore the seeming start of the explosion in the video, the shockwave can easily cause issues with storing digital data. If you compare the location of the truck on the right at the time of the explosion with the collapsed bridge span, they match up incredibly...

As for who destroyed the pipeline, it was almost certainly Russia false-flagging. It's certainly irritating, as it caused possibly the largest ever single gas leak and natural gas is a very potent greenhouse gas. Nordstream was politically dead, so might as well blow it up and blame it on the...

Sounds great, I'll have to see if I have any unbuilt Mini's around.

Extremely disappointing but thank you for letting me know. That is indeed very misleading and it is much better to find out like this than in an actual flight.

For the super-high altitude flights, it might also be nice to have an option for a timer-based apogee option. Also, in the case that there should be a separate GPS module that can communicate with the Blue Raven, could please consider making a high-altitude one with the u-blox 9 (or other that...

It's a massive shame, especially as more and more amateurs and college teams are planning on attempting space shots. Compared to the Multitronix competition, the BRB was wonderful given how much more compact it is. If a new version ever comes out that is once again "unlimited altitude" we would...

It's nothing more than a lie, though. Let's go over this so called "growing population". The population peaked in 1993 at roughly 148.5 million. Over the last several years, population has been in decline and this is only going to accelerate. It's currently at somewhere around 145 million with...

Would you happen to have any photos or video of this process? Someday I'd love to try the same thing and any inspiration would be helpful.

Honestly, they didn't even need the Orion. OSINT (aka private individuals who are good at finding and making sense of publically available information) were able to locate the Moskva plenty of times and when it was hit, we knew to a fairly small area where it would be. It's really hard to hide...

In general, it seems countries are starting to supply heavier hardware to Ukraine with planes, tanks and planes all going missing from various NATO countries and finding their way into Ukraine. Also, on things like Artillery, the US is just announcing they are going to do something, Russia makes...

Indeed, this is very cool. I've been seeing a lot of very interesting things coming out of China lately in regards to amateur rocketry. If you wouldn't mind answering, what sort of ceramics are you using for your jet vanes (also what sort of exhaust temperatures are you dealing with and does...

Another funny thing about the Moskva? The story about the radar only being able to protect from one direction is misleading, as they have other 360-degree coverage radars that should have spotted the Neptune missiles but only one illumination radar which has that limitation. However, both its...

Fascism is one hell of a drug.

They in fact do. The radar thing is known as a counter-battery radar. I'm not an expert on all of the ones the Ukrainians have, but we have visual evidence and US statements that prove that they have US-made AN/TPQ-36, TPQ-48 and AN/TPQ-49 counter mortar radars which can detect and calculate the...

My college rocketry team stumbled across these Pythom morons last year. It's so frustrating as California has strict laws for amateurs (which we follow) and then we have these absolute idiots managing to get away with this. Video of one of their tests on Jan 12, 2021 Back in January 22, 2021...

As for the A-10 video above, that's basically pure fantasy. Fun to imagine, but as incompetent as the Russians are, you still couldn't get away with that. There are rumours that 100 reasonably modernised Polish T-72M1R's have gone missing and are in Ukrainian hands. In general, after the MiG...

Honestly, this doesn't seem to be the case or if so, at least not in the conventional way we would think about it. The Russians and Ukranians both operate the SU-25 which is overall very similar in design and role to the A10. It has been taking heavy losses (9 visually confirmed Russian losses...

One big thing about the MiG deal is that too many damn people were talking about it, which allowed Russia to make diplomatic issues over it. If it had been done low-key, they would already be in Ukraine and so the Russians would just have to live with it. Any future deals with heavier equipment...

Killing civilians too, sadly. There's been a few ugly videos. War is hell. However, as much as we disparage them, it's important to remember Russia does probably still have the numbers to win the conventional fight. I don't think they stand much of a chance when it comes to dealing with a...
