An Imperceptibly Small Dosage Of Radiation @quectosievert - Tumblr Blog

this artemis 2 landing is so unreasonably funny to me. like yes this is the craft we sent people to orbit the MOON in, further into space than any human's ever gone before. it is the culmination of centuries of human knowledge and effort. literal rocket science. how do we land it? ☝️well we strap on three (3) parachutes, drop them into the sea & hope for the best

It could be worse, the Russian’s don’t even bother with the ocean, they strap a couple rockets on the bottom of the capsule and fire them a second before it hits the solid earth of the Kazakh steppe!

HI HELLO SPACE LAUNCH SYSTEM ARTEMIS YES HI

ROCKET

it cool

Is such a silly up go stick

Get in loser, we're going to the moon

Yknow what. Who cares that the SLS has been in development hell. Who cares the lander half of this is still in the potential design realm. The loud stick has ascended and we’re throwing humans further than we’ve ever thrown them before.

Marvelous day for science. Marvelous day for humanity. Give NASA more money. They deserve it infinitely more than any part of the DOD.

Redraw of that one meme that I really like

The Wikipedia critters

Wiki Hooves by @taliscat and @feedmepaperr !

Baby globe the official Wikipedia 25th birthday mascot!

God these lil guys are so cute

Bonus rarilight because Yuri is a wonderful thing

Twilight actually has a smile in this one :)

Fully did not intend for their hooves to interlock but it actually works fine

Bonus bonus of them taking mass transit ✨

Pony hyperfixation hitting so hard I actually learned to draw the mane 6.

There’s like. Slight proportional problems and I want to do a different style. But not bad I think

New fic out! This one will be a several chapter-long horror story starring a young Chrysalis, heheh. It's called "The Voyage of the S.S. Chrysalis"

Please please please please tell me this is about an actual steam ship

#im like 7/8ths of a marine engineer I can tell you things about steam propulsion plants

"I wish I could recreate this with a ship’s engine room…"

I don't get what that means, can you elaborate pretty pleasess?

Also in regards to how the train throttle works, its different between trains but its usually either a stick that controls both break and throttle like Femboy said, or there it is separated with, there being a dedicated break from throttle (sometimes theres even multiple breaks lol) it all depends on the train thoo. I can try explain it betters but im no professional. (yet :3)

awawaeaea

I’m a Marine Engineer (student lol) so I end up working in the machinery spaces which tend to not have windows so it would be hard to film a Blåhaj pov drag race with another ship. Maybe I could sneak up to the bridge but yea.

I mean throttle stick makes sense, I guess was wondering more if moving the stick changes the train speed or changes the rate of acceleration. Cause I’ve seen a video of Japanese trains where the more you push the stick the faster it accelerates, but I’m used to engine order telegraphs (EOT) where each position commands a specific propeller speed.

And then the rest of our stuff is just heavily automated. Like out gensets are governed to hold a constant speed. If you put extra load on the electrical system, it’ll slow down the generator, and the governor will add more fuel to compensate and speed the generator back up.
