    10/10 (for studio version)....this live performance is good but loses a bit of the intensity imo (like lack of the extra long glorious outro like in studio version), so maybe around 8/10...i'd up it if I was actually there live ofc heh... I am biased towards this song having grown up to it (my...

    If somalia is problem, maybe turkey can look at places like Kenya, Madagascar or Indonesia too. Indonesia can even be a joint project.

    Yeah I didn't word that well. It was referring as far as possible close to due-east (bearing/azimuth) launch....rather than longitude position. Yep, correct. Effectively the same amount of fuel burned in the launcher gets you a higher speed given the velocity of earths rotation (the worst...

    Indonesia got any rough intel (thats available to be shared) on how many they think are operating in such groups there?

    India India - China Relations

    This was a good one @Paro Someone finally brings up Tawang's relevance. The schedule got pushed up since the disengagement process has started. They already knew how many they were willing to admit...so this is not too surprising.

    2nd stage wont be so much issue with this sized launcher....it can be designed to do re-entry with burn up in atmosphere. A retro burner can change the re-entry angle if needed. Turkey can model and do that, likely already has....its no problem. 1st stage is really the survivable thing of...

    Nice to see things moving not only vertically, but laterally and broadly: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/space-psu-nsil-to-launch-sat-for-tatasky/articleshow/81081943.cms This lets ISRO push higher with its human resources.

    It would be best to develop any logistics like what EU/France done with French Guiana. Roll-on roll -off ships: https://defencehub.live/threads/jokowi-asks-elon-musk-to-study-indonesia-as-venue-for-spacex-launch-site.3647/page-2#post-35363 Then you got to do assembly in situ in...

    If its Sinop that will be it..... it (max size) can be calculated fairly easy when I get some time later....as you simply look at the range available for 1st stage debris and backwork to get its rough largest size. i.e sinop to georgian coast roughly would be the distance to calculate from...

    The first dictatorship - Pakistan 1948-1958.

    I agree with lot of what you said (in this initial period creating a huge amount of downstream issues still felt today).... I for one don't simply end with "its the army, army army....khaki khaki khaki" thing...they just have harnessed a bigger issue persisting....in probably the way an...

    Karachi, Sindh - Pakistan's achilles heel?

    No country, I repeat no country has developed doing extended logistics and corridors and such first....in some cart before donkey manner.

    US to ban goods from China's Xinjiang over Uighur forced labor

    I guess let's see. This bill has to be passed into law and I guess we will see which goods it applies on and on what extent...w.r.t ban. It is also interesting to note that Biden admin has not reversed the tariffs trump put (in general) on China, rather they are under "review". If Biden admin...
