T___A reacted to LostCosmonaut in Comparison of Rocket Payload Fractions
I have compiled some data on the payload fraction (payload to LEO / Gross mass) of various rocket systems;
From this, several thing can be seen;
Solid rocket boosters utterly ruin your payload fraction. Despite having a significantly higher specific impulse than other engines (365 seconds for the RS-68 vs. 285 seconds for the RD-275), hydrogen-fueled launch systems only have a slightly better payload fraction than hypergolic systems, or are even significantly worse. Larger rockets generally have a larger payload fraction (Saturn I vs. Saturn V, Falcon 9 vs. Falcon Heavy). Titan II and Titan IV are not entirely comparable. STS is a stupid pile of trash. Kerolox first stage provide significantly better payload fractions in almost all cases, while avoiding the difficulties associated with liquid hydrogen. Hypergolics generally have inferior performance to both, but are significantly easier to handle, and the difference is not extreme.
Data via wiki, except where noted (the gross weights for Delta IV Heavy and Atlas V 551 were horribly off, especially for the latter). Encylopedia Astronautica data mostly agreed, but that site is severely lacking in info on the Falcon family.

These troops are supposedly using AS-44s but I'm not sure if they are.

No I mean why should we think that it is patently false?
You're still not seeing Ulric's point. Ulric is saying because rights are intrinsic to a person's existence, that they objectively exist, how people or society feel or act has no bearing on whether or not they exist. It's like coming into a discussion about electricity and saying "Well because certain people viewed existence as merely atoms and the void electricity didn't exist until the last few centuries." It's just a non sequitur.

That may be true, but it is irrelevant to Ulric's point.
Why should we think that?

The last time a president was dumped from the ticket by his party was 1856. The bully pulpit is simply too strong to give up no matter how bad the candidate.

Reminds me of that time someone at GAU told Khrushchev they could fit the 100mm T-12 in the T-62. Karcev had to go up to Moscow to inform him that no, it could not fit.
Is it for AW?
