Not exactly complete, but an interesting look at how they avoided the Van Allen belts.


awesome, thanks a lot. It looks so much more amazing when you see how big the distance from Earth to Moon is.


The 1TB one is due to the way Clonezilla images work, it expects a drive with at least 1TB capacity to mirror the image back.


I decided to fact check you. 57,285 U.S. gallons in a fully loaded 747. Jet-A is 6.84 lb/US gal. That's about 196 tons. Looks like stage 1 of the Falcon 9 is estimated to use 239 tons of RP-1 and stage 2 49 tons.
