Van Allen surprise: fewer nasty particles than NASA expected
Re: Re. Van Allen
you have a super conducting hull which is streamlined unlike bricks that are skylon, NASA shuttle, x37b, the magnetic field just acts the same as earths magnetosphere and pushes solar radiation around your craft seamlessly
real force fields have been working for 5 years to stop RPG's on tanks
the best design for a new shuttle would be something like http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/aircraft/Lockheed-F19/IMAGES/Lockheed-F-19-Stealth-Fighter-Title.jpg
good for force fields, good for reflecting small debris. rear tail can fold down in space

Re: @ Zmodem
doubt it, a maglev train uses around 8000Kw to move along at 400mph, and so does the french TGV train, so a jet fighter like BAE, would need less then 0.2MW reactor, and that would still be overkill if you want mach 4, and had a nanotube superconducting forcefield and decent radar system with super computer onboard
and fly from the ground and into space without the need for air for combustion which is'nt happening, and use a power charge to shoot off, or just fly around the world non stop for 10 years at mach 4
Re: "KNowing where to look"
they just arnt doing it right, when most are made from iron and not stealth material, asteriods would be easy to pick up with the right setup
if you design a ship right with curves, you just need 2 demi domes center top and bottom, instead of a big ball like a apache helicoptor and other planes
probably whats powering the mystery plane https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiFIw8OkTWk
need ait to cool the magnets or you end up with plasma
whats with the thumbs down, its the only way to navigate space, especially if you want to go 256 million MPH with my EM pulse propulsion thrusters, BAE Systems probably have working in fighter jets https://youtu.be/NMMA5KgIvYE?t=2m19s with 0.05 second accerlation to reach 256 million MPH with some megawatt magnets and the repelling force
its more todo with building my navigation system using topology radar to scan for space debris with omni directional pings, and generate 3d models in the 3d star map to be used in the next gen space shuttle
so they would want elite dangerous engine without the game assets, just the 160,000 real time stars from our own galaxy https://www.elitedangerous.com/ - then link up your gyroscopes, and thrust math for 1:1 real time positioning of your craft in space, with a procedurally drawn galaxy stored on DNA and just update the renderer until holograms come along

Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument
ITN is better for war coverage, soldiers are all regular people, and ITN does the news on all their channels that watch so ITN get all the insider stuff and they did'nt carry on talking for 5 mintues about nothing much when the first tower started to fall on 9/11 before they realised

"since you don't pay for my private health insurance, why should I pay for your NHS treatment?"
the NHS will still be the people who pick you up in a ambulance after you have dialed 999 in an emergency and take you to your private health care after treating you on the way
Re: Yours is really the standard pro argument
why would you want to waste £10 on nothing, when you have to pay for sky, netflix, prime, etc which you actually use and have something to actually watch

O2 daddy Telefónica reports 12.5% drop in UK sales
EE has 30 million customers most of which came with t-mobile and orange, EE buying those and merging them was ok, no one with a braincell would choose to switch to EE with rubbish plans and data and call charges
BT brought EE for its fibre and wholesale pricing so they can control all mobile networks, and want the money directly by making mobile internet slower then landlanes so 4G is running at 0.4Mbps, the other 38% of the 80% of home broadband users get bored and get a 20Mbps land line that runs at 2Mbps from BT
Three and o2 can bring the compition back to BT and EE and lay down their own fibre with less customers and unlimited data without throttling or caps and have mobile data running faster then land lines
three's 3G network is faster then EE and o2's can peak at 7.2Mbps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9Q8zHgMzQ
Huge if true: iPhone 8 will feature 3D selfies, rodent defibrillator
why, iphones are shit, you can look around the internet for photography samples, they all suck and simple, so they can only do selfies
who are sad enough to actually own alot of apple products, they all suck and don't do nothing much
you can root a xperia and happlly have a full linux, unlike samsung where nothing on google play works even when you phone is'nt rooted
iphones and galaxy's are for the cool, proving they both suck and people will buy it just to be cool, all fashion products are rubbish and never do nothing much
whats wrong with bluetooth 4 and quick access to 1000s of devices rather then 3 devices with an iphone 8, before 3d selfies, they should make the camera better, and as good as the xperia z3 atleast with a simple point and click https://s24.postimg.org/7h0xkxwwl/DSC_0005.jpg, selfies are all the iphone camera can take

Re: Bah!
britain is full of the middleclass who goto work, and then stay in every night watching tv hiding from the world they created for themeselves and can afford £40 atleast because they are allowed £10,000 saving and tax credits while claiming housing benefit, while everyone who works less then 30 hours still has to put up with nothing more then unemployment benefit, the rest of you wage goes on rent and council tax
Cheer up, pal: UK mobe networks are now 8% less crap, tests show
Re: Odd
giffgaff reached 7MBps on 3G https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9Q8zHgMzQ
Re: Odd
its not worth a thumbs down, other networks have the same speed as EE and alot cheaper phonecalls to landlines, more so three who's phone calls are the same as BT landline to landline prices
PAYG user's won't stick around for to long either, giffgaff is alot better and the next t-mobile for all the clubs and night life with the £20 unlimited everything addon they have
Re: Odd
you can't get 50MBps on 4G
mobile data, and test for mobile masts that are relays, until your connection get near the main mobile exchange, then your connection switches to fibre ground lines and wholesale from EE, which BT put the price up and stopped all other mobile networks having unlimited addons, except for giffgaff and t-mobile, but t-mobile is and was the main network EE are based on, orange was crap from day 1
BT have made EE worthless, without the data speed or unlimted data being usable, the call charges are just retarded and not worth paying, EE speed on 3G has dropped 3MBps over the past 2 months, after being 5+ MBps for the past 4 years, and was able to keep a constant speed, now EE/t-mobile are just pure crap and not worth bothering with
Re: All I want is a fucking reliable signal O2
try giffgaff, i actually have a signal in the bowels of hell called work, just don't use 4G, its twice as slow as 3G most of the time, 3G and peak at 6MBps and quickly drop to 4 or 3, i never saw 6 on EE, the fasest i ever saw was 5.4MBps
so im probably in 6 -> 8 feet of bath stone
