Ion and plasma drives. They're electric and work very well. All the thrust of a hefty fart, but high specific impulse allows them to burn for a long time, so they're great for maneuvering in the vacuum.

I lose Virtual Desktop for my wireless VR, 3ds Max and Solidworks for CAM. If all I did was gaming, media and browsing, I'd switch. Which is why my HTPC, only used for couch gaming and media, is running Bazzite.
Counterpoint: Blender was the first 3d modeling tool I tried and I bounced off that UX so hard that I haven't touched it in nearly 20 years. Sometimes a bad UX is just bad UX.
Definitely interested to read your take on why colonizing Mars is never happening. Far as I'm aware, there's no laws of physics stopping it, it's rather a number of complex engineering problems.
That, notably, does nothing to solve the issue that your fingernails are gonna get ripped out. It's rather unpleasant, in case you haven't experienced it yourself. And it'll happen way before you manage to cut anything sturdier than paper.
Sadly, haven't really had the opportunity to build as much as I'd like recently. I've basically run out of display space and most of my kits are already put away. Suppose I could put up pictures of what I have out at the moment, though.
If Supes is doing it to stop some dickwad from destroying the Earth, enslaving humanity, or erasing the concept of pizzas, I'll be yelling at him to do it again. Fuck the car, I can walk!
It's apparently not okay when someone you don't like says something you'd otherwise agree with. Can't have complexity like that these days.
If the interesting thing about your character is that they're not human, you don't have an interesting character. Fite me.
Nope. Not until they're going for a Ship catch. It has to come down somewhere and the only places it can safely come down are either the ocean or the catch tower. So until they get the catch hardware to a state where they believe it would work out, every Ship is going to fly a trajectory that ends in the ocean.
Fuck yes. I don't have first-hand experience, but by most accounts, the Battlemage GPUs were a huge improvement over Alchemist. If Celestial follows a similar path without jacking up the price, it could be amazing for the average PC gamer.
How's their driver support on Linux?
But exactly because of that, they don't have yeet. Long periods of low thrust are great for long duration missions, like satellites, stations and interplanetary probes, awful for a TLI burn.
