Can space shuttle lift off from the back of the cargo plane?

Small-size shuttles are often launched from the back of other aircraft, and every miniature shuttle is not the X-37B. In the image above this text portraits the commercial robot shuttle, which is created by a Swiss company named Swiss Space System(1). In this case, the carrier aircraft is Airbus A-300 (Image I).

It actually can use this thing, if it uses internal fuel and oxygenation tanks, which are leaving the cargo very small, and in this case, those tanks would put in the cargo bay of the shuttle. The problem is that if the flames of the rocket motor touch the back of the cargo-plane it can cause the destruction. So the space shuttle must be separated properly and the main engines start in the safe distance. This is the key element to launch a shuttle to orbiter by using other aircraft.

I don't know is the "full size" shuttles launch to suborbital or ballistic trajectories from other aircraft. But small size shuttles like Virgin Galactica corporations shuttles are launched from the aircraft. In the cases of the small-size robot shuttles, what are meant to travel to the orbiter and make some missions like taking miniature satellites to orbiter the most common way to make those launches is putting those shuttles back to another airplane, and then launch them to the orbiter.

And the small-size Pegasus (3) rockets are launched from the airplanes. I don't know are the small-size satellite launching capsules, what can use in many times space shuttles, but this kind of capsules are launched to LEO (Low Earth Orbiter) by using the other airplanes, what are taking them to the edge of space and then they launch them to the orbiter. The thing is that those rockets are often launched from the aircraft, like the Virgin Galactic mothership (Image II).

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying. Does the AI have feelings? Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans. What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions. In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1). A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true. The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains. Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series. So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
