What's the inspiration for the design of Federation ships in ST? (Specifically, the Constitution-class from TOS) The saucer-engineering-nacelle setup...

Memory Alpha has a nice view into its development here. There are similar articles for the Galaxy-class and most other models as well.

Don't forget a freaking Orca. Whoever had that idea probably had some kind of drug problem.
Although I liked the concept of whales as transport mediums for...fireworks into ports.

Today my aerospace professor's PowerPoint included a graph from Orbiter-Forum.com
It was basically the only accurate fact about astrodynamics. (This university focuses on aero)

Which one was it?

Which one was it?

A graph of a reentry profile: interface, 0.05g, blackout, and quite a few more points. I can't seem to find it, and it might have been added to the PowerPoint in past years. It was associated with the shuttle but that doesn't mean that's correct.

LOL, I remember posting such a plot once - the Shuttle has no 0.05g point, that was Apollo.

Thanks for making me laugh out loud. I imagined Nick's professor's powerpoint to have a "by Urwumpe" mark.
Which is a pretty good name for a source. "Doesn't matter at all where I got that from.":lol:

That's why we're so bad at the Olympics: Beer is terrible in supplying the body with oxygen.
