@brainrotpostig The neutrons would also be such a tiny amount of U235 almost never fissions, with only 0.000000007% of decays being a fission, and a non negligible amount of neutrons would fail to escape the uranium or container vessel, unless container vessel is an appreciable moderator.
@LauraFlowD@joeyigw Heat transfer is the thing. It takes time. 3500 degrees, fully sustained for hours all around the tower, would melt it. But explosions dont work like that.
@Skaigie@r3a9an_k_ It can relight if the propellant is at the bottom of the tanks. Upside down doesnt matter, what matters is the direction of acceleration. for example, if it is rotating, the fuel will be pushed to the bottom of the tank
@tibininin@DrChrisCombs The launches generate a lot of NO2, among other NOx. NO2 is extremely toxic and has a very pungent odor, it must have all dissipated once this person flew through the plume
@megagoose11@vibechaserrr They pop back out, but that induces cycles of plastic deformation which wear down the metal significantly. I am unaware of how severe the problem is, I just know the physics behind weakening when those cycles of plastic deformation happen. This is not a permanent solution.
@NosuSuishinV2 Whats funny is it actually does work like this, its just incredibly inefficient and slow. Even a megawatt class light would give you like, the amount of force that piece of paper weighs when its on your hand
