Well more than heavier, it depends on the weight times distance (of each thing that makes it up).... the weight distribution and torque/moment to have it turn (while the fins align the whole thing from back end). Think of how a dart works if you throw it just generally etc. So compared to the...

Yeah its not surprising to me, as the booster/lower stage would be top heavy (structure, fuel tanks, any liquid fuel sloshed to bottom when its falling ballistic/unpowered) compared to where the aerodynamic fins are (that stabilise the fall now). The centre of mass is some distance away from the...

Yeah maybe it is not the booster per se, but rather a middle stage that has what it takes to survive re-entry etc, since we can see the dorsal fins etc: So similar thing distance wise with the Iranian missile. It depends how they are staged and what gets jettisoned along flight path and...

I think that is the SM-3 booster. It gets jettisoned within the atmosphere, where it lands then depends on the trajectory it followed till that point etc...i.e ballistic fall. Rest of SM-3 then makes the further high alt course + interception...and are largely destroyed I think (re-entry or...

Is there an actual proper source for this outside twitter? The AOR was Sri Lanka where it happened and Sri Lankan Coastguard responded.

Yes CANDU (PHWR) provides neutron flux for thorium 232 ---> U-233...i.e the breeding. Basically the heavy water is very transparent to neutrons so the efficiency (of neutron capture by another fissile material) is excellent in PHWR. The Uranium need not be enriched as result, natural uranium...

https://focustaiwan.tw/business/202602220007 Costing about NT$13.1 billion (US$403 million), the facility will manufacture display driver integrated circuits, and will have a capacity of about 20,000 wafers per month, the Indian news outlets said.

It is pretty hard to put numbers to this. The commercial domain is more transparent one given the economies of scale (MRO workshops etc and raw number of flight hours daily compared to all airforces put together in a year etc). Think about China for example in its ferrari vs corolla ecosystem...

Well, meeting thrust (dry and wet) alone is insufficient. Even with raw "max" thrust met, there are operating conditions of interest (ramping A to B, sustaining at B etc.... at various ambient pressures from different altitudes/velocities etc) that have their own requirements...the ability to...
