Hi

Make no mistake, what I like is astronomy, not rockets....

But doing this simulator (it's endless...), I'm realizing many things.

1. I have gone where I was not called.

2. The Russian-Ukrainian conflict reaches the space.

The international station, the ISS, is falling apart... The docked Soiuz has large meteorite impacts. An unmanned one will arrive on February 20 to return the astronauts to Earth (only the Russians)...

Russia has decided not to carry supplies and the ISS has to start its engines every day, to maintain orbit and not fall, plus water and food.

SpaceX has a spacecraft there, but it only holds 4 people out of the 7 that inhabit it in total. In case of emergency, if something happens before February 20, they will not be able to return in the SpaceX spacecraft either, the astronauts' suits are custom-made for each one, so the Russians could not return in it (they could not sit down for re-entry).

SpaceX will continue to carry supplies (as long as NASA pays), but we all know how Elon Musk's business is going.

NASA on the other hand, is investing in the Moon colonization project, they didn't count on fixing the ISS.... Besides, their latest plan, as they fail to land on Luna with the Orion, is to... crash the spacecraft (the necessary instruments are saved for now, they say). I'm sure this is quite economical

Will the ISS make it to 2031, when it was scheduled to be destroyed in the ocean?
My guess is that international politics will destroy it sooner.

Taking into account, that there is a new space race between SpaceX, China, Arab Emirates, USA and some crazy couple who want to go to Mars (right now nobody is able to reach the Moon and land, but they want to go to Mars...).

Why invest in Mars? Why did we go to Luna?


Hola

No os equivoquéis, lo que me gusta es la astronomía, no los cohetes....

Pero haciendo este simulador (es interminable...), me estoy dando cuenta de muchas cosas.

1. Me he metido donde no me llamaban.

2. El conflicto ruso-ucraniano llega al espacio.

3. La estación internacional, la ISS, se cae a pedazos... La Soiuz acoplada tiene grandes impactos de meteoritos. Una no tripulada llegará el 20 de febrero para devolver a los astronautas a la Tierra (sólo a los rusos)...

Rusia ha decidido no llevar suministros y la ISS tiene que encender sus motores todos los días, para mantener la órbita y no caer, además de agua y comida.

SpaceX tiene una nave allí, pero sólo caben 4 personas de las 7 que la habitan en total. En caso de emergencia, si ocurre algo antes del 20 de febrero, tampoco podrán volver en la nave de SpaceX, los trajes de los astronautas están hechos a medida para cada uno, por lo que los rusos no podrían volver en ella (no podrían sentarse para la reentrada).

SpaceX seguirá llevando suministros (mientras la NASA pague), pero todos sabemos cómo va el negocio de Elon Musk.

La NASA por su parte, está invirtiendo en el proyecto de colonización de la Luna, no contaban con arreglar la ISS.... Además, su último plan, como no consigan aterrizar en Luna con la Orión, es... estrellar la nave (los instrumentos necesarios están guardados por ahora, dicen). Seguro que esto es bastante económico

¿Llegará la ISS a 2031, cuando estaba previsto que se destruyera en el océano?
Mi opinión es que la política internacional la destruirá antes.

Teniendo en cuenta, que hay una nueva carrera espacial entre SpaceX, China, Emiratos Árabes, EEUU y alguna pareja de locos que quieren ir a Marte (ahora mismo nadie es capaz de llegar a la Luna y aterrizar, pero quieren ir a Marte...).

¿Por qué invertir en Marte? ¿Por qué fuimos a Luna?

Group notices are borked even more than usual, so it looks like no one got my new group gift notice:

"There's a brand new group gift at the Emporium on Wolf Territories Grid, and you don't want to miss it! Look for the box in the lobby by the group joiner kiosk. Thank you again for your patronage!"

After a year or so of being in Open Sim... I'm beginning to work on a proper OS avatar without any of the pirated material. I know Dorena's World has some Ruth2 outfits. Are there other spots I can TP to for more Ruth2 goodness? This will take some time for me, and my RL week ahead looks quite busy so I may not have much time to work on this until the end of it.

I know some of the Athena clothes I have now can fit Ruth2 with some alphas... the shoes I have on here are for the Athena. Right then, I must snooze now so I'll have to check replies later. Thanks for looking + any advice.

Danke für eure liebevollen Worte und Gebete. Danke allen, die in dieser schweren Zeit mir beigestanden und unseren Rudi das letzte Geleit gegeben haben. Danke auch für die vielen Blumen- und Kranzspenden, mit denen ihr eure Anteilnahme und Wertschätzung gezeigt habt.
In tiefster Dankbarkeit

The satellite space race / La carrera espacial de satelites

End of World War II

- AMERICA gets Nazi developers of the V2, von Braun's equipment.
- The V2 factory is located on German land belonging to RUSSIA and obtains a model of the V2.
- The V2 is launched in Russia and explodes.
- Russia develops a new rocket with detachable modules.
- It is revealed that SS Commandant von Braun directly selected Jewish slaves to work as slaves in the V2 factory

The cold war begins, Sergei Korolev, the chief designer of the Soviets and his team are in hiding and isolated from the world.
are hidden and isolated from the world (they do not exist and if they do, they will return to the Gulag).

Meanwhile, von Braun and his Nazi team in America are ignored.

- 1952 America decides to drop the bombs with submarines and planes.
- Russia does the same
- America limits the range and size of the rockets it designs even for military missiles.
- Russia designs the R7, but is only allowed to send bombs.
- Von Braun gets help from the Disney company and sells his space idea on television. Social pressure causes the U.S. government to create a space plan.
- Russia still fails to launch satellites
- U.S. decides to give the satellite contract to the Navy and not von Braun.
- Sergei Korolev convinces his government to do the same (finally).

BOTH SIDES TEST INCREASINGLY POWERFUL NUCLEAR BOMBS.

- The American Jupiter C created by von Braun's team reaches altitude to put satellites on it, but... that contract is with the U.S. Navy.
- The Russian R7 also explodes.
-Despite von Braun's success, he is still denied satellite launches. And he hides parts of his rocket in the hope that the Navy will fail.
- The Russian R7 is christened by pissing on it (Russian custom). It disintegrates in a few seconds. After 3 attempts, they launch it again and it fails again.
They only give it one more chance.
- Last launch attempt. It reaches 6000 km, farther than the Americans.
He is given permission to launch an R7 with the Sputnik satellite, which will demonstrate to everyone with an audible signal, that he is in space.

Russia wins the satellite race. The first man-made object to orbit the earth.

(sorry for my bad English)


Finales de la Segunda guerra Mundial

- AMERICA consigue a los desarrolladores nazis de los V2
- La fábrica de los V2 queda en terreno alemán que pertenece a RUSIA y consigue un
modelo del V2
- Lanzan elV2 en Rusia y estalla
- Rusia desarrollan un nuevo cohete con módulos que se separan
- Se desvela que Wernher von Braun, comandante de las SS escogió directamente
a esclavos judíos para trabajar como esclavos en la fabrica de la V2


Comienza la guerra fría, Sergei Korolev, el diseñador jefe de los soviéticos y su equipo
son ocultados y aislados del mundo (no existen y si existen, volverán al Gulag)

Mientras, a von Braun y a su equipo nazi en América, los ignoran

- 1952 América decide lanzar las bombas por submarinos y aviones
- Rusia también lo hace
- América limita el alcance y tamaño de los cohetes que diseñan incluso para misiles militares
- Rusia diseña el R7, pero solo le dejan enviar bombas
-von Braun consigue la ayuda de la compañía Disney y vende su idea espacial por TV. La
presión social hace que el gobierno americano cree un plan espacial
- Rusia sigue sin querer lanzar satélites
- América decide dar el contrato de satélites a la marina, no a Von Braun
-Sergei Korolev convence a su gobierno en hacer lo mismo (por fin).

AMBOS BANDOS PRUEBAN CADA VEZ MAS BOMBAS NUCLEARES MÁS POTENTES


- El Júpiter C estadounidense creado por el equipo de von Braun alcanza altitud para
colocar satélites en él, pero... ese contrato es con la Marina estadounidense.
- El R7 Ruso también explota.
-A pesar del éxito de Von Braun, se le sigue negando el lanzamiento de satélites.
Y esconde partes de su cohete con la esperanza de que la Marina falle.
- El R7 ruso es bautizado orinando sobre él (costumbre rusa). Se desintegra en pocos
segundos. Después de 3 intentos, lo lanzan de nuevo y vuelve a fallar.
Sólo le dan una oportunidad más.
- Último intento de lanzamiento. Alcanza 6000 km, más lejos que los americanos.
Le dan permiso para lanzar un R7 con el satélite Sputnik, que demostrará a todo el mundo
con una señal audible, que está en el espacio.

Rusia, gana la carrera de satélites. El primer objeto hecho por el hombre, que orbita la tierra.
