A method to straighten curved space-time
Reply in thread
Curvature is well defined for manifolds with any number of dimensions. "Flat" in this context means "zero curvature", not "two dimensional".

The LR11000 has moved into the space near gate D2 where they recently demolished the storage sheds. I think it's there to handle the last three horizontal tanks (unless it's just there to compact the new asphalt...)

They are not emitted simultaneously. The collision is messy. The GRB comes from leftover bits of neutron star.

Such a device has been spotted at the shipyard. It has been speculated that the reason the ship QD was removed was to adjust it for the height added by the vented spacer.

They're now cutting up the shell of one of the vertical methane tanks. They managed to suck all the perlite out when we weren't looking.

Hot staging also eliminates the gravity loss that otherwise would occur during the coasting phase during and after separation.
They may ignite only three engines at half thrust for the first second or so.
