  1.  @funkyzero  Algae and bacteria based systems will have a part to play. Admittedly, they may be more useful in generating future plastics than fuel.

  2.  @funkyzero  My original comment was more general in its scope but I think we have similar approaches. If we are going to set CO2 targets then we have to use all available options to try to meet them. Battery tech, solar, hydrogen fuel cell etc are not going to meet the requirements of air transportation any time soon. Synthetic fossil fuel is the only viable option available now. We do need to standardise on a fuel, but the route to synthesise it does not have to be fixed (yet). My preference would be methane as there are so many potential routes available to generate it.

  4. I know this may hurt your ego, but they really don't care what you think. The important factor in air combat is not maneuverability but situational awareness. See first, kill first.

  9. A: He's British, so why would he "brag" about the C5. B: He stated that the C5 was the largest aircraft in the USAF inventory but the An-225 was larger.

  11.  @rokadaprliinnysystemyaczno4761  That's not really true anymore. Most military and government agencies are becoming increasingly reliant upon COTS technology developed for other purposes.

  12. While concorde was a great aircraft its development lost us our space industry. "There is no future in satellites" another government pronouncement.

  13.  @richardhockey8442  Maybe, however Richard Branson did offer to buy and operate BA's fleet.

  14.  @richardvernon317  Concorde had nothing to do with the military. It used engines developed for a military plane yes, but there were no non-military derived engines available for an SST at the time (or now to be frank). As a country however, we would have been financially better off if we had developed a commercial space launch system though.

  16. How was this bad when it reduced the level of tension between two superpowers armed with nuclear weapons?

  17.  @marc_frank  If you are going to quote scripture then all I will say is that "We are made in his image". He did after all wipe out almost the entire human race according to your book.

  18.  @marc_frank  Not especially thanks, when I die I am happy to die forever.

  19. If you are going to try to troll at least get the aircraft right.

  20. Low frequencies offer reduced targeting performance.
