Fred the Goat Posted August 15, 2003 Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 Yeah, actually, it did! It flew by an asteroid and a freakin comet and was retired in 2001. Yay for Astronomy Pictures of the Day! http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap030720.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalagon Posted August 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2003 (edited) In other news aparently pulse detonation engines are the flavor of the month(I read it in Popular science). Instead of burning they explode reapetedly which is apperently more efficient That's what the interceptor in x-com used, although considering as they're being prototyped (If that's a verb) now, I don't see how they got one in 1999. Those Guys were surprisingly accurate though. Edited August 15, 2003 by Ancalagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
