Citation required. Given its very low volume, I am go out on a limb and say no. It has done literally almost nothing.

You can reach *any* orbit from *anywhere*. But it uses more fuel form some places. For a polar orbit shedding the rotational speed you already have is wasted deltaV.

You not suppose to use the numbers directly. If you want more than 10 billion devices on the internet, why would you expect to "remember" the address. Do you even bother remembering phone numbers anymore?

Its 2015. Everyone is a expert in networking cus they changed the password on their home router. And NAT is a firewall!

Joking aside. 99.99% of people have not idea on just how much NAT breaks things. And how it add zero security.

Polar orbits come to mind.

NZ is not the US. Just because you have money, doesn't mean jack when it comes to "suing" people.

In fact some ISPs have been providing the VPN for netflix etc. They are currently getting into a legal dispute over it.

You first Coward.

However i am. And he has done a good job. the data is public. You can replicated the results.

About haft the mass of the asteroid belt is in the 4 largest bodies. Also note that is half of the *estimated total mass*. We have very accurate orbital models and combined with what we have seen we can get fairly accurate estimates. It is very unlikely to get a big surprise. Because as you say, it would be easy to detect it.

Yes and a 4min flight time. Yea really useful, not.

I can slow down for the sharper corners. Like High speed rail does you know. Since its a v^2 term you don't need to slow down much.

New Zealand is about 20000km from where i currently live. at 0.2g max acceleration you can cover that distance from stationary starting to stationary stop in less than two hours (6300seconds). So your idea of forces involved for high speed are quite false. Of course in this example top speed would be 6232m/s, or about 15% below orbital speed. quite impractical for a plane, or even this concept. But it illustrates the point.

In short your top speed is what matters. There are no inherent forces that kill you at speed and acceleration can be very mild.

The problem with fiction based jet packs, is that the physics just doesn't work. Energy density required means very short flight time with supersonic jets that will rip/burn your legs off.

Some hydrocarbons are pretty nasty to humans. And yes they can occur in wells anyway. It pays to test.
