Why not? He's worked in the 'Military Industrial Complex' all of his life. Have you read his books? Have you read is professional literature? What exactly don't you like about the man/?
And my source for the performance are official USAF Standard Aircraft Characteristics sheets that my friend Ryan (AKA Mark Sheppard) has scanned and put online.
I haven't personally read his work, but I do trust what I'm told about him on SecretProect.co.uk.
Really? Source?
Lemme see, lemme see, lemme see... We have the R-29/R/R-2s/RM, the second stage of the RT-20P, the massive R-36M, and I'm sure if I looked through FAS more I'd find more missiles with storable liquid rocket fuel.
Oooooo. I only have one place to strike then. That means it's easier to kill. A lot easier. (Lets see if anyone here can catch the corollary to that statement).
That also means you have a much heavier defense net to get through.(And the snide insult isn't needed)
Really? ΞV is 'Delta V' or a change in velocity. Because velocity is a vector function with both magnitude and direction, ΞV can be both changing how fast you are going, and what direction you are pointing. 'm/s' is meters per second. Anyone doing anything serious with rockets should know what those are.
Well, I'm not doing anything serious with rockets outside of bottlerocket wars, so I'm excused.
Anywho, it has an engine which can be used to regain energy. You seem to keep thinking of this as a normal RV, it's not. It's a missile in all but name.
