C-5 Galaxy – The Big Daddy | PlaneHistoria

Introducing the C-5 Galaxy, the Big Daddy of all military transport planes! This enormous aircraft is the length of an American football field and as high as a 6-story building. It can carry loads up to 70 tons, making it the biggest cargo-lifting plane ever built.

The C-5 is so massive that it requires a special runway and a special support aircraft to help it take off. Once in the air, it can cruise at a comfortable speed of Mach 0.8 (around 490 km/h) for a long time, making it ideal for long-range missions.

The C-5 is also a very versatile aircraft. It can be converted into a hospital ship, a mobile command center, or even a passenger transport plane. The possibilities are endless! So if you're in the market for a heavy-duty military transport plane, look no further than the C-5 Galaxy! Visit our website to know more.

Celestelle the star has pushed the button]

Celestelle encounters an alien civilization. The aliens attempt to use starlifting, so they can harvest Celestelle’s materials for building.

[astramthetaprime]

So was wondering today, you know starlifting where you can pull material off a star to make use of it. Pull off the heavier materials, return the hydrogen, virtually unlimited amounts of useful stuff while prolonging the life of the star.

So can you do the reverse? Start with a brown dwarf, add hydrogen & deuterium, and turn it into a red dwarf star. Increase the mass, push it into full fusion.

Then I thought, how to do it?

Easy. Feed it a cryojovian.

Feed it Uranus.

Now to work out how.

🤪🤔👽🤔🤪

UPDATE:

So on further thought, yes the idea is sound but adding just one cryojovian would not be enough. Think about it. My fictional brown dwarf Watchtower is 67 Jupiter masses at the start of the story. Neptune and Uranus are only fractions of one Jupiter size planet, albeit considerable fractions. You would need DOZENS of them to trigger off fusion even for a brown dwarf at the edge of red dwarf territory. There simply isn't enough mass in just one.

And while it is possible to move stars (see Isaac Arthur's ep on Shkadov thrusters for how), as far as I know there's not a way to move individual planets out of their orbits. Unless you have a steerable black hole with which to tow them.

Further bulletins as events warrant.

.

UPDATE #2

WAIT.

What am I thinking?

Frickin' feed it ANOTHER BROWN DWARF.

There are LOTS of binary brown dwarves. All of them BY DEFINITION dozens of Jupiter masses.

Frickin' throw another ...

(Blink blink)

FREAKING CELESTIAL DWARF TOSSING.

...

Further bulletins as events warrant.

.

UPDATE #3

I found the Shkadov thruster ep on Isaac's YT channel and put the question re can brown dwarves do Shkadov in the comments. Hope is a thing with wings! We persist and persevere! Onward!

Stay tuned!

A Quick Guide to How Much Stairlifts Cost In 2021

When you need a stairlift, the first thing that will come to mind is cost. How much do you have to spend on this needed piece? Well, the answer to that question is based on several factors, from the type, to where you buy, to whether it is new or not and so much more.

tl;dr egy kisebb üzemanyag-szivárgás javítása után nem távolították el a szárnytövi üzemanyag-tartály levegőztető szelepéről a dugót, megkezdték a tartály feltöltését. a kialakult nyomástól a tartály felrobbant.

“I’m just going to come out and say it. All human craft have manual overrides and humans don't think it's odd.” Dranei took a sip of her drink. “It's odd.”

“It is not odd!” Jamie said. “If you need it, you need it.” Jamie figured that was that and took a sip of his beer. The K’laxi can consume alcohol but have a hard time with wheat, so they tend to avoid beers. Dranei was drinking vodka and k’wepberry juice. Jamie tried some but the K’laxi fruit was too bland.

Dranei drained her drink. “Starlifter! Engage manual override - flight controls”

The ship tisked “Dranei, you are not authorized to issue that command.”

“HAH! But you do have manual overrides!”

Now it was Jamie’s turn to be surprised “but we’re in the canteen! There isn’t actually manual controls here is there?”

Starlifter sighed. They were the AI for the ship, and like all human ships, the AI was much more…sapient than other races had for their ships. The humans decided that they were personifying their ships anyway they might as well let them have their own personality. Most other sapients thought it was odd at best, worrying at worst. The humans couldn’t imagine starships without them.

“Yes. There are manual overrides for nearly all the systems onboard. And they can be initiated from anywhere onboard.”

“I KNEW IT!” Dranei shouted, triumphant. “Leave it to a Human to not trust anything.”
