Quote from: Luke 22:35-38 on May 05, 2016, 12:00:03 PM

Fun fact: the Bible speaks of atoms.

No it doesn't.
Not that I care what it says anyway.
In case you haven't noticed, I am a voodoo Loa...
And, as Guardian of Crossroads & Doorways, Legba sees 'atoms' for what they are...
A barrier to the Truth.

Keep your day job.

My 'job' is to see all voodoo, all the time...
And I see yours.
It is shit btw.
Now; the purpose of a testbed is to test the airframe in its intended operating conditions.
Thus, the OK-GLI tested the Buran in take-offs, flight & landings, all under jet power & at subsonic speeds.
Which were its intended operating conditions.
The take-off being an important part btw.
Simple stuff.
Unless we have a sci-fi author around who can spin the tale into something more fantastical, perhaps?
Where would we find such a man?

sorry about that

Why ask?

"Unless we have a sci-fi author around who can spin the tale into something more fantastical, perhaps? Where would we find such a man?"

You seem to be doing a pretty good job on the "fiction" side, though no science that I can see!

By the way YOU are made entirely from atoms, and YOU insist that ATOMS don't exist, so that proves that in you own "mind" you don't exist - QED.

I always said you were an android (well once is always!) - of course so is jroa but he has "artificial intelligence" (he said so!), the trouble YOU seem to missed out when they were handing that out,

sorry about that 

I know how you just love emojis.

The testbed was designed to test the aerodynamics of the orbiter.

I grabbed top spot on this page now here is some meaningless waffle to justify my forum manipulation...

Except that Buran was intended to take off vertically while strapped to a rather large rocket and fuel tank and operate in outer space.

Which makes the fact that the testbed was designed to take off, fly & land subsonically & under jet power rather suspicious, does it not?

Yeah; they work by testing things for the conditions they're designed to operate in.

So if the Buran was supposed to be hypersonically blasted into shpayze on a rokkit & hypersonically glide back to Earth afterwards then why'd they test it for taking off & landing under jet power?

Maybe they had a Myasishchev VM-T instead?

Funny how they didn't use it though...

The first flight with a Buran shuttle occurred on Mars 1st, 1983. The shuttle weighted 45.3 t. The vertical stabilizer, and many instruments were removed to lighter it for not weighting more than 50 t.

So they did use it then?

Looks like a pea on a drum don't it?

Good thing the shuttle has a nice, stable, high-lift, subsonic wing profile to help them both fly then!

Kinda like a biplane when you think about it...

The tail-plane probably caused a few problems from excess drag & turbulence though, so they got rid.

Still; nice try, Russkies!

Cos I just noticed something VERY lulzy about teh silly fake shuttle's SSME's...

Papa Legba; aerospace engineer and international man of mystery.

008, license to beg for attention.

Do tell.

I didn't realize you were an aerospace engineer.  You must know soooo much about wing profiles. 

I have to Google atoms don't exsist I am very curious. That has to be a Google item, wouldn't imagine where else I would find that

What does the Copenhagen Interpretation have to do with your claim that atoms don't exist?

So once again, you have nothing. You should really just stfu so you don't look stupid.
Little kids like you need to learn you know nothing. Throwing out random claims and then thinking you don't have to back them up. Atoms exist, you look like a fool.

Let's have some fun...

Ever heard of the Copenhagen Interpretation?

If so, care to elucidate upon its conclusions?
