I just have stuffed animals and a body pillow.

Anyway now I'm envisioning this system with manufacturing on the moon or capture and staging of smaller rocks. I mean. Thinking what it may take to get some smaller 1 mile sized asteroids in a pretty high orbit. I'm considering just a lot of time to tether some in gravitationally with some big heavy nuclear powered craft. Idk. I'd be trying to do it already.

Anyway id be manufacturing those projectiles so they could be moved in closer to their targets, maybe only finally targeted at just a few miles up. I feel like along with an autonomous drone army and some Boston dynamics robo bois thatd make for a pretty ruthless and evil force. About the only way around that one is burrowing deep and hiding.

Yknow how those fedora wearing dudes have their Anime girl body pillows, props to this girl for showing how it would go in an alternate universe. His shirt even says M’lady [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

look it up bro, MIRV's really are yesterday's news, even without nuclear ramjets

theres a boomer around...



We have already had all of the everquest discussions possible, several times over and all variants.

Thats why the guilds just flame each other in RnF these days



Rest assured, M.A.D. will always be real.

Kinetic rods would be like 100 tons of tungsten each, we can barely put 5 tons of stuff in orbit per launch. They are yet sci fi, but they would be more effective than MIRVs, as their entry and strike points would not be easily predictable.

Yeah when your enemy can hit you at mach 20, attrition isnt a bad strategy, you mentioned old school weapons, someone on some side of that war would end up driving bombs in cars to cities.

Spears would revert society to the rule of the strongest, not the smartest, and neither of them ever lets you play with their cool toys, or in on their gov't contracts.

Hypersonic is mach 5 you keep saying mach 20 for some reason.

Fix your liturgy, ape.

To wit:

As a spacecraft re-enters the earth's atmosphere, it is traveling very much faster than the speed of sound. Typical low earth orbit re-entry speeds are near 17,500 mph and the Mach number M is nearly twenty five, M < 25.

make a smallish rocket, put it on a trajectory to some big space rock, deploy "lander rockets" which attack to the surface, and will thrust the big space rock to your desired target.

Everybody is gonna see it coming so get it going REALLY fast, Near Earth Objects are tracked as much as possible, and you can try to launch a nuke at it, but be prepared to be disappointed, without any air to pressurize, nuclear weapons have like .1% of their atmospheric damage radius, basically just the detonation point and then the bomb's own pressurized gasses disperse. Which is like instantaneous in space. Would be a wonderful spectacle to see in the sky tho.

Then after your enemy nuked your asteroid bomb, it will rain millions of rocks down on the entire planet, with no real way of knowing where they will impact.

and you circle back to M.A.D.

hypersonic is not a new thing, propeller driven aircraft could achieve hypersonic speeds on steep dives in the '50s.

hypersonic is a term describing anything that exceeds mach 5.

20 > 5

current "generic termed hypersonic missles" (i hope you like that term better) are purported to hit 15,000 mph

genuinely hoping this helps

I already covered that. Reentry speeds are far above mach 5 and would easily crush the Chinooks you want us to be afraid of.

Cheeper mutually assured destruction is the way to go.

Cheeper, lower maintenance. More reliable. Longer term.

Then put all the insurance companies in jail.

The tech I keep wanting to design would just make killing individual people or small groups easier tho. Because warfare is about killing terrorists and outlaws now.

Imagine the entire somali pirate fleet and their villages and "palaces" getting wiped from orbit. In one single attack. I feel like thats just a question of money and effort at this point.

Squatters in DC... just blare a siren and pelt the area with small antipersonell munitions.

Your buddy epstien getting out of hand? Just take out the boats docked on his private island.

Ohhh i got you, these days even the re-entry speed of MIRVs aren't enough, because the ICBM missle trajectories are very limited, and no MIRVs are known to have the ability to maneuver once deployed, so once launched (giant rocket, seen by satellites) we will know all of its likely entry points, and have fair advanced warning, a minimum of 30 minutes, up to hours of time to intercept the maximum of 10 warheads per ICBM

a short range launch from a submarine off the coast would have a better chance of hitting something, because its less time launch to impact, but still very visible.

the entire idea around "hypersonics" is to simply arrive faster than your enemy can calculate a firing solution to hit your missle.
