@@harryvlogs7833 You're also only correct if you ignore the context, the history and if you want to be a pedantic prick. Sure the components aren't the same, and it doesn't take a genius to look at the Delta IV heavy and see that it isn't the same as a Thor-Delta. But they are very obviously related in more than just name. The original Thor-delta used the LR-79, which when combined with two LR-101s becomes the Block 3 engine used in the Deltas, the RS-27 and RS-27a are essentially modernized LR-79s from the original block 3 engines. Those engines were used in form or the other from the first Thor-Delta in 1960, until the the Delta IV in 2002. Then the RS-28 was introduced in the first stage, but the upper stages were the same. Even the Delta IV Heavy, uses the same upper stage from the Delta III, only the tank is widened to 5m or so.

"The Delta rocket family was a versatile range of American rocket-powered expendable launch systems that provided space launch capability in the United States from 1960 to 2024. Japan also launched license-built derivatives from 1975 to 1992. More than 300 Delta rockets were launched with a 95% success rate." - Wikipedia

Back in 2000, I shot video of Formula 1 cars going through the final turn during the second practice session of the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The 3 liter V-10s of the time turned over at more than 19,000 rpm and made about 150 dB. When I watched the video later, I noticed a shimmer in the image as the cars went by, and realized it was from the intense sound vibrating the camera CCD. I see the same effect in this video from the launch site cameras, only FAR greater.

@@craigme3014 That is not how cancer works. Cancer is not something that can be "cured". You can only treat it. Cancer is a genetic disease. There is hope for cancer prevention, like CRISPR that can do live gene-editing (human cancer trials are going on right now!), and MRNA tech (also has cancer-treatment human trails going on right now!), both show extremely good outcomes through tests and experiments. We might have a future where cancer detection happens faster, and a little bit of gene-editing over the course of a few weeks will get rid of the cancer cells. We are a decade or so out though.

@@takl23 Not true, better cancer treatment is far more lucrative, which is why cancer treatment centers put billions into finding faster and better ways to treat cancer. Cancer treatment today is costly, and effects everyone rich and poor. CRISPR and MRNA tech are more than likely going to make treating cancer a small inconvenience over a few weeks of gene-editing. It would be cheap, easy, and medical companies around the world are already paying a fortune to get it rolling out. Both treatments are in human trails this year, and both looking extremely promising.

@NicolaiAwesome 24 күн бұрын

Delta had less “engines” for one (counting the SRB’s as engines) and the RS68 is the simplified (less DV) version of the RS25. And as noted, the SRB’s produce a shitload of thrust, 2,6Mil lb’s each at liftoff, so even with the shuttle almost being 3x heavier than a Delta Heavy at liftoff, those plus the RS25 give it a real kick in the pants.
