At the point when they’re about to impact the nebulina, he says: “In our own frame of reference, we are accelerating at approximately three gravities. In terms of the outside universe, however, that acceleration is not constant, but steadily decreasing. Therefore we cannot change course fast. Even a full vector normal to our velocity would not get us far enough aside before the encounter.” Can someone explain this? Why the acceleration is decreasing from the universe frame? Thank you.
Excellent story, the first I know that included the Bussard Ramjet. Unfortunately the Hydrogen density is thinner than thought in 1960, and the drag from having to accelerate the gas to the speed of the ramjet much than more than expected, greater than the thrust. variation on the design is possible, one is the “ram augmented interstellar rocket”. This has three sub sections, a fusion reactor, Magnetic scoop field, and a plasma accelerator- a accelerator in this case A heat exchange system transferring heat energy from the reactor (the fuel) to the interstellar gas, the propellant, which I think is the design used in the story.
It’s better narrated than the other one, which sounds like they got some random drunk, trucker to read it over his steak and eggs and labatt blue (trucker beer).
Thruster power: A rocket can take you into orbit, but due to thrust it cannot stop after 65 feet and set down on a hill. So you say, just quickly toggle on and off, but that won't work because you couldn't do it fast enough AND you would still have too much thrust so even if you got shut off, you would already be a few hundred or a few thousand feet past your mark. Same goes, in reverse, for thrusters that could get you to do short jumps. They wouldn't have enough thrust to get you to do higher or orbital jumps. Basically enough power for high jumps, but too much for short or enough power for short jumps, but too little for high jumps. To solve it, you would have to install both systems, hopefully have them use same fuel, still be light enough for your vehicle/ mech/ ship, and have enough on vessel storage for the fuel for both.
Random question. I am trying to find the names of two books that I listened to once and don't recall the names. 1. An explosion at a university opens portals into other worlds and of course aliens of different sorts come through. Various army's attempt to defend the world. 2. Various people develop magical talents and one officers becomes magic and is sent off planet where a task force is under heavy attack. Anyone know these?
@@otterrivers3765 Hi. I spent an hour or so searching,and found that the first one is Into the Looking Glass by John Ringo. It was a great book, I found it on TH-cam, but like so many of the better ones, it was too taken down. I regularly search for John Ringo, Devon C Ford, Sam Sheridan and Jack Williams. They occasionally get uploaded, and if you are quick, you can listen before the publisher takes them down.I will keep searching for the second one.
I am so disappointed in this book Within the 1st hour i figured out the entire plot. The kid is such a moron! Maybe something amazing will happen and it won't end up exactly how I think it's going to happen? Lol Who am I kidding.
That's such a dumb thing people always say. You can legitimately dislike a story and say so without thinking you can do a better job. I Like if you really hate a song because it's terrible, nobody assumes you think you are a better musician
4:25:19 and... i don't think I'm going to continue. I love sci-fi, mech, private military organizations, aliens and all that stuff, but this books fails to catch. Although I like Lisa's arc, everything else bores me despite me wanting to like it (:
@@jolujo5842 I couldn't have put it better myself! Frank Jackson: Thanks for the perfect quality copy. Audible: Thank you for making the recording, not sure why you let them get posted on TH-cam, but thank you very much for doing so. Inka: you did not actually inform us of anything, even what you didn't like. Maybe the writing is marginal - but you are listening to it for free on TH-cam!
Jolujo 58 well keep in mind there is a lot of mech anime but not a lot of mech books. If there were I’d be collecting them but they are greatly limited. If you try to watch mech anime take notice some will be great and some will probably not meet your standards to watch. Same thing happens with books like this. I personally found great interest in this book.
After reading a review that mentioned that the book was getting dated i gave it a shot and listened to it. Im looking forward to getting a real copy and reading Tau Zero at my own pace. Its been a good story.
It’s an interesting book. The author clearly is not well acquainted with women or how they work. His idea of a good woman is one that just puts out, to help the man out. That sounds great but it just isn’t how women work. They require more than that. Also it is ruined by the whole “Big Crunch” thing, a theory which is no longer widely held.
Grift reading.Unlistenable

Lead bullets don't "clink" when hitting a concrete floor.
Lisa and her, what if, what if, what if, the answer is that you die.
who read this? lazy asshle. its Orn uh ree. ORNARY. NOT Oh niery. theres a massive difference you lazy shit.

Nothing more boring than two women trying to be men. They can't.. I'm out.
I. Think I'm Going To Kill Myself
Did I not hear the mechs could jump into a low earth orbit in space but can't apparently leap a 65 foot wall how does that work?

@@romanbrough Thanks Mister. Frank
Thanks for the books! 👍☺
A great mech book!
oh. MYGOD. I. Love. THE STORY!! 😡. but. MYGOD!! WHAT an AW. FUL. Na-ration!!
So Lisa's Korean accent sounds like what non-Asians think Asian people should sound like. Enjoying the book. Thank you.
Lol! One should take into account a foreigner's perception no?

Just what in the he'll were you looking for? Maybe you could suggest a better audiobook for the rest of us rather than bitching about your problems

It’s an excellent book, even if a bit “dated.”

@safeysmith6720 sounds like you haven't met a good woman.
This unnatural cadence is un-fucking-listenable
Made it 12 minutes. This is a terrible way to narrate. Stuttered, forced. Almost no inflection. Very spaced out sentences. Overall very amatuer.
He sounds constipated.
Great story terrible narration q
Yep... but this guy’s a natural sounding genius compared to the guy who reads P.A.’s “Security” (and unfortunately many others)
Awful narration
