Previous chapter - The Last 3 Days (08): Who Doesn’t Love a Road Trip? All published chapters can be found . here 48:47:18 So far the Cadillac had lived up to the salesman’s promises. It accelerated great, it was a smooth ride and it was luxurious. There wasn’t enough traffic on the highway this early in the day to justify speed traps, so Ryan steered the car through a bend, taking what he called the ‘racing line’ at half again the posted limit. As he let the car drift across three lanes towards the outside of the turn, the city’s skyline came into view. “Finally,” Ryan grunted. Bobby stretched in the seat beside him, yawning. Steve and Dave slept in the back seat, Steve’s head on Dave’s shoulder. “No kidding,” Bobby answered. “All I want to do is sleep.” “Sleep? We’re just getting started. I have a score to settle and no time to waste.” Bobby looked over at Ryan. “Dumping that kid in the middle of nowhere wasn’t enough? Who else?” “Jay.” “But he said it wasn’t him.” “Who else could it be?” Ryan demanded. “None — None of those women would have ratted. Their jobs are their lifelines. Why do you think I hired them?” 48:31:34 Anne could not have counted how many times she had watched the missile launch or heard the same updates repeated on the television screen in her living room and, most likely, would never be able to forget Noah Hoag’s resentful portrait photo. She was watching a new clip — finally, something positive — as Jack came down the stairs behind her. “But all is not lost,” the news anchor said. Anne had never liked him, but was now starting to think of him as a friend. “The United States, Russia and China are even now planning humanity’s response to this threat — “ Jack said, “I smell bacon.” She turned, her smile less forced than it had been. “On the table. And good morning to you too.” “If Nick left any for me. Morning, mom.” Anne guided her youngest son to the dining table, calling for her older one. “Nick!” “He’s not in his room. Isn’t he down here?” Anne took the stairs two at a time. “Nick,” Anne repeated as she burst through the doorway of Nick’s bedroom. Clothes littered a bed that hadn’t been slept in. Scanning the room, she noticed the empty shelf and loose wires where his game system should have been. 48:29:23 Outside Jay’s apartment block, one of the geranium flower beds flanking the entrance vibrated, followed by a phone ringing — Nick’s phone — that went unanswered. 47:30:56 Barely four hours past dawn and already the heat was oppressive. Nick staggered to a halt, sweat pouring down his face. Shielding his eyes, he looked up to gauge the sun’s progress then shook his head. Bending over, he loosened his shoelaces, then kicked off his sneakers. He undid his jeans and slid them down his legs. 47:27:43 Sergeant Martin Wright did not watch much television, preferring to read science fiction novels when he wasn’t indulging his unfulfilled dream of writing his own. He was the proud author of a dozen hefty stories that, with the asteroid, would never see a bookshelf. So he wasn’t sure what station he wanted as he flipped through the channels on the large monitor in his squad room. It seemed there were several channels devoted to advertising only. Don stood at the counter, trying to explain procedure to Peter Thurro but found himself distracted by the staccato of ads flashing on the screen in the public area that mirrored the one in the Squad Room. Without looking up, he said, “KQTS. Channel 156.” Both screens settled on the same station, and the outer room quieted as the screen gathered their attention. As Thurro read the form before him, Don’s mobile rang — again — and once again he ignored it. “As much detail as possible, please,” Don told the businessman, “including the names and contact info for those affected.” Peter Thurro looked around the waiting area, then asked, “Can I at least sit down?” “Sure. Step over to the metal door,” Don said, and pointed. The door to the lobby, buzzed, opened and Peter moved through. Don indicated an open desk and Peter settled at it. On screen was an animation of a missile just after launch, flying into space, colliding with Benevolence B7438 and blowing it up into harmless, though spectacular, daylight fireworks. Dubious cheers answered the animation from the waiting area. Checking his mobile, Don hit redial. “It’s me,” he said. “Busy … Only three of us came in … What? You’re kidding … Did you call him? … Of course you did … I can’t, Anne … No — “ 47:21:56 Olga Popoff treated her mop like a dance partner as she cleaned up after the previous night’s dance. She had little thought for her daughter’s drinking. In Russia, she would not have had to pretend outrage. Her mop kept time to Russian pop from her Beats, her feet stepping in tandem. Since she was alone in the school, she even hummed along, unconcerned about how her figure had thickened with age. She felt no different from when she was Becky’s age. Which only heightened the shock when a hand clamped her shoulder from behind, and for a moment, she needed her mop to stay upright. Then it got worse. When she turned to see whom the hand belonged to, she saw three young men she didn’t recognize and her fear caught an edge, until Ryan’s sneering scowl came into view. Fear became terror. Ryan reached out and plucked her headphones from her head, then casually dropping them. “Hi, Olga. Where’s Jay?” “Jay not work today,” she answered. “Only me.” “Why not?” Olga hesitated. “He get promotion.” Ryan’s rage exploded. With a roar, he kicked over Olga’s bucket, spreading soapy water across the gym’s floor. Olga cringed at his violence, which only fed it. Pressing his advantage, he towered over her, arm cocked. “Who talked to Thurro? Was it Jay?” A flash of memory reminded Olga she had faced far worse than this boy. A subtle shift washed over her face; a hint of defiance, perhaps. Her posture straightened and her eyes met his. “All of us,” she said. “All of you. But whose idea was it? Yours?” “No.” Snatching the mop from her hand, Ryan raised it above his head — a movement so fraught with dangerous options that time itself seemed to pause — then he snapped it across his knee and threw the pieces into the thinning puddle on the floor. “I’m going to kill Jay.” 47:02:13 Wearing his jeans tied like a turban on his head against the sun’s rays, Nick looked up from the tire tracks, searching for any sign of humanity. Nothing. Or — what was that smudge of shadow in the hazy distance? His pace slowed, his gaze flicking back and forth between the tire tracks leading into the distance and the chance to get out of the sun. He veered away from his path. The shadow resolved into what appeared to be a short door into a hump in the scrub. A soddy, a shelter ubiquitous across the Canadian prairies as the first homes of Eastern European settlers. Partially excavated into the soil, they featured walls of stacked sod with roofs of narrow tree trunks covered with oiled canvas and more sod. Though obviously ancient, it was less decrepit than Nick would have expected — if he had given it any thought. It meant shade and rest, and that was enough. The door opened silently, another sign lost on Nick as he entered. He held the rough wooden door open for light, pausing while his eyes adjusted. More spacious inside than the exterior suggested, he found he was almost able to stand upright. And it was blessedly cool. He stood in the doorway and removed his makeshift turban, relishing the relief of escaping the sun’s heat, even if he had begun to hallucinate his thirst and hunger manifested on a narrow table against the far wall. When the vision persisted, he moved towards it, only to lose it in the darkness as the door swung shut behind him. He pressed his wadded jeans into service as doorstop and then crossed to the table. Before him sat a bulging linen bag and a cracked ceramic pitcher. Water. And blueberries. Without further consideration, he ate and drank until nothing remained. He felt their effect immediately as renewed energy erased his need to rest. He rewrapped his jeans around his head and let the door close, missing yet another sign. Behind the door was a neatly trussed bedroll tied to an olive drab backpack. 46:40:12 Eileen Taylor stood watch at her living room window, her gun nearby on the coffee table behind her. She saw her neighbour, Don, pull up in an unmarked police cruiser, climbing out in a hurry. He noticed her at the window and waved as he strode towards his own house but, nearly there, he turned and, jogging up the steps, knocked on her door. Lacking options, she opened the door enough to be polite yet not enough to suggest a welcome. “Hi, Eileen. Sorry to bother you, but could I get Jay’s number? Nick’s run off — “ She had seen Don’s son and Jay’s best friend just the day before. “Nick too? Why do they always leave, Don? Why? I admit I was angry in the beginning, but now — now I just want him to come home.” “I can talk to Jay if you want. Can I get his number?” Eileen studied her feet for a moment, silent, then met Don’s gaze. “I don’t have it. I haven’t seen or heard from Jay since just after Phil died.” “Oh. Eileen, I had no idea. I’ll do everything I can to find him. Both of them.” “Tell my son to come home, Don. Tell him, please.” Also Published Here

Atterrissage vaisseau 3D - CGI Spaceship landing (Dades Production) 50m starship + 70m booster is essentially a thin and 130m tall wonder of the world. Take a matchstick with essentially the same length to width ratio and try to keep it standing upright. Pretty hard even without the slightest wind. right? But the moment SpaceX mastered rocket engine vectoring all kinds of new design possibilities suddenly opened So why do we actually still launch and land vehicles with thin profile in position that is generally unstable? More flights mean faster return of investment and bigger chance of becoming multiplanetary civilization before statistically inevitable happens. But here is current 14 pretty strict (no wind over 30mph) . weather launch criteria for falcon 9 Being limited to static launch tower means being limited to weather conditions there too. Remember. There is no Sci-Fi. Just predictions. So what If we were stable enough to launch or land from anywhere, even sea It’s not even that hard.  We simply need to be more wide than tall. Due to the wonders of engine vectoring we can now be 10m tall (instead of the current 130m) during landing or launch and transition to supersonic upright config anytime. Could we then launch or land in much harsher weather even with strong winds? Would we then actually get rid of expensive static launch towers on Earth, the Moon, or Mars? Could we then suddenly launch fly and land anywhere even at sea not needing lengthy cranky FAA permission near crowded areas? Weather is definitely the main deciding factor. Making most of the days pretty much no go. And with Climate change, we clearly opened pandora’s box of brutal weather unpredictability and force. So with tall sticks, we will be sitting ducks a lot of the time. Starships independent from static launch sites and their local limits able to move fast to any place over the sea on earth would allow fast parallel launches from anywhere. Time and Money Lost Waiting for Good Weather or Bureaucracy is What We Can’t Afford if We Want to Become Multiplanetary. So. What if we take the current spaceship 50m + booster 70m and slice it instead to 2-3 shorter tubes, put them next to each other with 2 rotatable engine groups on sides and 2 groups on the bottom? Trading 130m 4 flaps 4 fins batteries avionics and connection ring weight for 10m height stronger frame and front engine vectoring mounts By merging perhaps a significant amount of weight can be now removed. No need for ship booster connection ring and hydraulics 10t?. No need for avionics grid fins and heavy batteries from what was 200-160t booster shaving. 20-40t and another 20-40t? can be shaved by removing what was flaps and heavy batteries from what was the ship. Hopefully, leaving 50-90t? old budget for side reinforcement beams on a beer can hull between two front rotating 8 motor cluster mounts and two bottom ones with vacuum engines from the ship. Also in case of launch problem, whole 4 clusters of 8 motors are perhaps more easily swapped faster or accessed than 29-32 engine dense plumbing maze. Refueling connects at 1m ground is also a lot less risky than at 70m (space shuttle chunk of ice incident). Front engines could rotate optionally to move to the bottom to reduce thermal stress to the hull. Getting rid of vacuum engine weight by having variable-ratio nozzles Maybe SpaceX should try to make their own cheap carbon fiber to expand their material options for some parts if the only price is holding them back from composites. Considering how efficiently they made iterating steel who knows where carbon composite iteration in parallel would lead them too. Those two are not mutually exclusive. Steel is heavy and not every part makes sense to be made from steel radiation or weight-wise. The simplest way to make carbon nanomaterial even at home is to drop graphite dust on soapy water. Recently one Chinese company found a way to make supercheap carbon nanomaterial batteries. Since you can hover now, you can cheat You can launch 3 ships and chain refuel from 2 at 15km ;D Joking. Or not? If we are still too heavy to reach orbit we can go back to some parts as composites instead of steel or have a second tube smaller in diameter to form an airfoil shape to use the surface for added lift. That would also help with fuel efficiency until going fully vertical or for two starship tubes in the middle and two returning side boosters config starting and landing in VTOL 10m height config. Two tube starships just to be stable on the moon and Mars dust storms. Spreading the Same Force Over a Larger More Stable Area with Proper Landing Legs Instead of Concentrating it to a Single Unstable Spot At the launch of large loads, we are fighting mostly gravity, not air. Sidewind stability, proper landing legs, wide-area spread failure redundancy is much more important during launch/landing than thin shape for air resistance. Then in higher altitudes past strong winds we can simply transition to the same supersonic upright flight position as before having engines transition inline with the same engine power. So let’s just slightly reshuffle engines and mfg. pipelines that we already have. Single Angle Engine Vectoring Can Reduce Complexity and Many Points of Failure Since the engine can no longer randomly point in random directions in case of sudden computer latency or wind gust, one can argue the biggest points of failure are being removed or reduced. Movement and hovering freedom Vectoring can now be done with simple valves by thrust just like in quadcopters most of the time even manually if a computer fails. Ie. a higher chance to save a vehicle in theory. The ocean is an incredibly big area and in the quad mode, you are now stable enough to launch from simple and cheap 4 empty used old starship bodies acting as floats below deck you use to catch falcons. It is a great strategic advantage that SpaceX can now manufacture big steel tubes cheap and fast. So perhaps no 100 expensive oil rigs needed to hold 130m tall rockets either. Just 1 ship to pull a chain of starships on floating decks out on the sea. Landing anywhere especially in the ocean. The whole ship will on landing be essentially one big empty barrel full of air and will float pretty well too. But maybe the whole idea is stupid too heavy to reach orbit without 2 stages. I don’t know. But that’s me, never afraid to have crazy stupid ideas. I am curious to hear your opinion guys. ;D Please let me know through your feedback. I am really curious. I asked this question to a few people from SpaceX I found on Linkedin (around 20 :D ?). Curious what their answer will be but I haven’t received a reply so far. But If there are any open-minded people anywhere willing to take risks and think outside the box to push boundaries of what is possible then it is definitely at SpaceX.
