What do you mean? True color. First off color is a cultural concept, but with that said are you talking the atmosphere. Yellowish brown (maybe orangey). The surface is not too colorful. CO2 and sulfur gas are mostly colourless but get a little "greyed". Chlorine is a bit yellowish. Neon is a...

When I did my graphic design thing, a key take away is that you want to enlarge your text as much as possible. Smaller fonts may look ok to you but older folks or seeing impaired may have difficulty seeing it. So the font at 30 seconds before and after, is imo a tini bit small. There are some...

Nothing is difficult once you do it. I'm sorry but what is hard to understand about the center of gravity of a mass in motion and that each galaxy/system has a different mass and other characteristics and thus moves in different ways. Also consider the forces in play for instance things like...

Aerodynamics are aerodynamics. The Russian Shuttles were not identical to US space shuttles but did look similar. However the spaceshuttle was designed for a specific task so it would make sense that if someone where trying to do that same thing they would arrive at the same forms. That said of...

Weird they didn't even seem noticable to me. Although sites don't like hearing this, there are a plethora of ad blockers out there, and a little knowledge of code you could easily only allow markup that you want to see into your browswer.

Well 1st why would you turn an event into a singularity when all things cause other things to occur. Droping through atmopshere could cause a domino of atmospheric events. However generally the reason you would want to get close to something is like a probe. Sensor readings, interception of...

I saw his recent last night/this morning youtube video on his plans for Starship and was very optimistic hopefully they get the dust devil stuff handled. I am curious though if the high amount of perchlorates could create any fuel irregularities for a power assisted landing. The launch times...

Although I do think that Starlink could be used for military stuff, starlink itself is not well positioned to be defensible as it is in lower orbit, and the satalites are small, and like many other satalites are able to easily be destroyed. Actual military satalites tend to be put at higher...

Hi I am William People are going to start wondering about me if I keep posting so thought I would post up something for the profiling. I have been interested in space since I realized it existed much later than many other people most likely. I am a kook, my imagination growing up was way large...

"Interplanetary space travel by humans into deep space is or is not yet a reality" =- like in real life, in our current time 2020? Earthlings have not officially conducted interplanetary space travel, they have traveled to objects in Outerspace, ie the moon. The moon is not a planet so no...

Hi, I don't know what planets you are refering to but the concept of "storm" is variable since on earth we have a very thick atmosphere. Other planets have different compositions of atmospheres and densities and gravity and other atmospheric phenomenon. So the way that storms act and what...
