And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Well, if aircraft carriers can fly to outer space, no reason why they could not carry a complement submarines as well. Of course they have artificial gravity seeing all the ammo and fork lifts are static. Plus gravity controlled barriers on openings to keep atmosphere in. Would surmise those are just the drag chutes, thinnest of air would fill them, but the main parachutes would not drag open until well into denser air. Nothing special if we ever reach that level of control over matter and energy.
This picture is a warning from Pinocchio Joe to anyone considering standing up to him: "I have nukes, I have space ships, and I have submarines, and I don't give a damn about you".
President Eisenhower was so adamant that space not be used militarily that the Redstone booster used to launch the first U.S. satellite had it's propellant tanks loaded with sand so that it could not reach orbit. Originally, it was planned to be an Army satellite.
Now that's imaginative.
ReplyDeleteCan't be orbital - parachutes don't work from orbit.
