@thomasfuchs Why are you doing this to yourself ? I hope you're getting paid well. The best part is when Sylvia Kristel appears ... and that's it.

@JoshuaACNewman @thomasfuchs True, and after all, rockets are just glorified planes that carry bottles of liquified atmosphere !

@JoshuaACNewman @thomasfuchs Mild sarcasm ; I only know little of space physics, but my view is that it requires much more advanced technology than what we have now. A good read to get a feel for the physical barriers for such a travel is the book Tau zero from Poul Anderson ( https://www.amazon.fr/dp/1504054563?psc=1&th=1&linkCode=gg2&tag=galaxypcom-20 ) where a lot of the space travel hypotheses are backed by real scientific theories, you can imagine then how far away we are from the reach to another star

@thomasfuchs Maybe he meant a particular part of the atmosphere ? Like troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere , ionosphere, exosphere ?

@thomasfuchs looks more like cinch to DIN to me. Fairly common stuff on the 80's.

@aral Well communist regimes killed lots of children ...

@nixCraft Remember that the guy who created Turbo Pascal later also architected Delphi (lesser known but really great (object) Pascal), still in use and available.

And if you're a die hard fan, he also made C#, TypeScript, and he works for Microsoft now.
