Your having been to space is no guarantee that you're not crap-on-the-floor looney.
I would have thought that we've learned better than to pay too much attention to former astronauts. They might well be right about the asteroids, but I still think we should go ahead and get a second opinion on this.

You use words the way hillbillies use corn cobs.
Are you certain that you know what's happening in Ukraine and why?
That U.S. crotch you're cheerfully kicking might not be able to bail out your "actual civilized" buttocks from the next war.
I'm pretty sure Europeans are more worried about the US starting the next war.
The thing Europeans like best about the US military is all the coin we drop having bases there. Unless you count Serbia, where the US military is about as welcome as a bladder infection.
Those responsible for sacking the people who have just been sacked have been sacked.
What jurisdiction do you live in that actually licenses software engineers?
(Hint: Step 2 is "defect to SK.")
Unlike the situation with Ukraine, the West might see that as an improvement. China, on the other hand, might disagree...
You're not really going to humiliate yourself by continuing this, are you?
Bill Burr says it best
The Ivy League was basically a formal gentleman's agreement (you know, back from the good old days where they banned women and blacks from campus and had strict quotas on Jews) that they would mutually agree to be terrible at sports in order to maintain high academic standards.
Everyone who attends an Ivy League school to play sports is someone who would have been a serious consideration for admission without their athletic ability.
Of course they're going to be terrible at sports. They don't have any black people on their team!
Dude, you're the worst sort of person to argue with. You've demonstrated poor reading comprehension and a willingness to hand-wave away the distinction between similar words if you don't think they are relevant to you or serve your position. You seriously make me wonder why I even bother trying to express myself precisely
I never used the word explosion. I used the word detonation. I contrasted it with the deflagration that occurs in internal combustion engines like we see in cars.
A detonation occurs when the shock wave expanding out of the reaction zone compresses the unburnt fuel ahead of the wave, and the compressive heating raises the temperature in the unburnt fuel above it's autoignition temperature.
10 m/s is well below the threshold. Try 2000 m/s.
Detonation produces a more efficient combustion than deflagration, gives higher yields, and generates more kinetic force relative to the thermal energy released. It's a whole different kettle of fish.
What really should have happened is that all his Monsanto-using neighbors should have gotten in trouble for allowing their seeds to escape. Since they were the ones who were parties to the agreement with Monsanto, they were the ones who broke that agreement.
Of course, Monsanto suing its own customers would be bad for business, so it went after the innocent third-party instead...
I assume that picture was meant to be a German V-1 flying bomb? Those were pulse jet engines, but not pulse detonation engines. They used the expanding gas of repeated combustion reactions, they didn't cause fuel to detonate.
I was apparently mistaken about there not having ever been a PDE powered flight
From France to London in the mid 1940s - get a grip before trying to lecture others who are not entirely keyboard jockeys.
Do you have any more information? I can't find any references to a successful PDE powered flight outside of the work being done by the Air Force Research Laboratory and Innovative Scientific Solutions, Inc.
