It’s not the condensing that takes energy, it’s the thermal release of the water from the desiccant that takes energy. Here’s the real paper with all the details. Avoiding thermal release in favor of mechanical release of water from the desiccant bypasses a good portion of the energy required.
Just like a ladybug is a type of beetle, all of those labels can fall under the colloquial usage of the term “pedophile”. Technicality has nothing to do with this discussion, underage girls are underage.
I recently received a d4 as a gift that was essentially a d6 but with two rounded faces so it can only land on the four sides. It’s objectively the better experience but feels like treason.
Ah yeah, didn’t mean to minimize the impact of the launch plume, that’s an issue too. But reentry is an entirely different problem with completely different mechanics and the title was confusing about that.
The title is a bit confusing. Reentry is a problem, but not because it’s a rocket plume. It’s because the satellite leaves aerosols in the atmosphere when it burns up, causing a potential failure of the ozone layer, as well as potentially harmful respiratory problems.
It’s looking like the satellite deorbit strategy of fully burning up on reentry is the exact opposite of what should happen - instead it should try to burn as little as possible and fall into the ocean.
In addition, satellite lifespan is too short, requiring more launches and deorbits.
America not doing a whole lot better, we’ve taken a whole generation of the world’s best minds and had them solve the problem of ad optimization. Disgraceful.
By that logic the only non-arbitrary dimension is defined by gravity, so the primary axis (X) should be up and down.
Math is not rigid like you are saying: 3D coordinates can be oriented in any direction because they are fundamentally arbitrary. A lot of people a damn lot smarter than you have damn good reasons for using different coordinate systems, and they are mathematically correct.
