Probably a good thing that’s not it, though.
needs a haircut… but really, far preferable to the typical guy. doesn’t talk too much.
So long and thanks for all the fish!
what and hang with all the lovecraftian horrors?
Well. can’t be any worse than certain humans.
Well, not an engineer myself, either, but generally speaking that would greatly increase the systems complexity, which generally increases maintenance costs, down time, and the initial cost of the system.
You might be able to eke out a bit more power, but there’s more to the decision than total output and how efficient it is.
What I would imagine were a fusion-powered MHD being useful would be as a front end to fusion-based plasma propulsion. (Basically something like the VSIMR, Hall effect or whatever plasma thruster, where the fusion reaction generates both some power to create the thrust and its exhaust plasma is also the reaction mass.(I mentioned I’m not an engineer… right? Just an incorrigible nerd who likes sci-fi.)
i mean, they can run the plasma through some magnetic fields…
But it’s less efficient that boiling water.
So one thing, if you haven’t seen, his son Robert is more or less following in his footsteps. his photography is insanely good.
I still haven’t forgiven the stingray.
I know that Steve would say it wasn’t the stingray’s fault, that he was the one intruding and it was just defending itself, as stingrays do.
But I’m not nearly as good a human as Steve.

it’s a caustic relationship.
just for the record, we started with Venus, but they kept breaking them, so we switched to Mars.
As long as more eggs are hatched than fall, it works.
Though, “your parents dropped you as an egg” jokes seem… appropriate,
