Recreating production cars and racing them is fun.

Optimizing track cars for different locations is a LOT of fun. More power doesn't always mean faster lap times - what matters is power to weight ratio, paired with getting the suspension, tires, brakes, and downforce just right.

The most fun build I've discovered so far is throwing a 2L, naturally aspirated V8 that makes 521 HP, into a Pontiac Fiero with racing slicks. The whole thing weighs just 1159 lbs, and can pull 3 G's around corners.

Apparently they're pushing south from Belgorod rather than directly trying to deal with the expanding area of Ukrainian control south of Kursk.

Bet that would be fun to take off road. The dimensions are similar to a jeep.

Ukraine, Cuba, South America, Africa, election interference, OPEC, and the list goes on.

If the sun became a red giant tomorrow, and Earth found itself inside the outer layers of solar atmosphere, then drag would start slowing it down. In less than 70,000 years, it would fall close enough to the center to be torn apart by tidal forces like one of Saturn's moons (assuming it hasn't already been vaporized).

If we've already waited 5 billion years to have our revenge, whats another 70k? The lowest amount of Delta V we can spend on this project is zero.

Sagittarius A* would like a word, and you'll never get that word back.

What if we catch a gravity assist off Jool, and do the retrograde burn at perijool to gain some free Oberth Effect DV?
