[QUOTE=jimrr;192449]well, the most provocative, ingenious, stellar comment of my gcapt. history didn’t post last time. I hope for the benefit of mankind this has been fixed this time but I say the safeguards are way more robust than ‘articles’ we read. but to paraphrase: a 700 mph impact would possibly deform the belyrium implosion sphere to where it’d be in failure mode at ignition.[/QUOTE]
well sure, Marty, but it only takes 88 mph if we can channel the implosion into the flux capacitor. I’ve always found that prefabulated amulite gives a superior deformation to belyrium without placing undue stress on the spurving bearing. Unless you want to reverse the nonreversable tremie pipes… but I don’t think anyone wants to go that far, amiright? I mean, we don’t want to risk frying the interocitor.
