[@tfw8738]

luna burns is a orbital mechanic no? a burn is firing the engines, i assume this just means its within luna's sphere of influence

[@nf359]

@@tfw8738it’s more likely that “Luna burns” is a dramatic change in tone, because if it was still concise military language it would be less vague, like “___ performing de-orbiting burns”

[@Raguleader]

@@tfw8738 Honestly, the fact that it's difficult to tell from context whether it's a sanitized technical description of a space maneuver or a dramatically laconic description of an extraplanetary nuclear exchange lend to the impact of the phrase. Sort of suggests the confusion that you'd expect in the opening hours of a war.

[@fernandomarques5166]

​​@@nf359it certainly feels like a tone change marker. IMO there's two possibilities: - Luna being a location on the Moon - Luna being the Moon itself Luna is Russian for "Moon" so it wouldn't be far fetched saying the Soviet Base on the Moon would be called that, what puts of this theory is the fact that the sentence "Luna burns" shows up before the video tells us that the Soviet Base on on the Moon's North Pole is attacked by the QRF. As for the second option, "Luna" is also latin for Moon, by using the latin word for moon and pairing it with "burns" it sets the tone very well that there's no going back from the point that Horizon LSS was destroyed, the cogs of war are now turning, the moon is now a battlefield, so it burns metaphorically and literally (nuclear fire).

[@clockworkowl6248]

​@@fernandomarques5166 Terra and Luna tends to be used in SF to specifically refer to the Planet Earth and the Earth's Moon because the rest of the planet names are in latin(ish) and uncapitalized words have other meaning that may be used in same context(especially "moon" that can mean any natural satellite) Also, burn as orbital maneuver isn't usually paired with just the nearest celestial body. So it is indeed more likely to be a dramatic phrase.

Imagine if you will, being an amateur astronomer on a warm summer night in July of 1997. The band of the Milky Way galaxy is overhead on the southern sky. Dazzling stars and dark nebulae stretch overhead past zenith. You instantly recognize two dimly lit blue stars: Neptune and Uranus. A noticeably bright star to the left was Jupiter, punching through the Moon's glow during it's waning gibbous phase. Finally, Saturn slowly rising on the eastern horizon. There, you eye the moon using your telescope and notice very bright and distinguishable pulses of light on it's surface. One after another, a hundred suns ignite the lunar skies.

"PAVE" is a USAF prefix for various programs ranging from the Paveway series laser-guided bomb, to the Pave Hawk/Pave Low helicopters, Pave Tack targeting pod, etc. I'm thinking the most relevant though would be PAVE PAWS (Phased Array Warning System) that's made to detect incoming nuclear missiles and perform space surveillance.

Oh great, that's all we need, furries in space. There won't just be radiation belts around earth, there will be gay cum belts too.

And a pulsar (pulsating radio source) is a spinning, magnetized neutron star that emits powerful beams of electromagnetic radiation at very precise, very regular intervals. The way the beams "pulse" in and out of detection as they are directed at or away from Earth has been compared to a lighthouse.

[@kahrl_zero]

also consider that modern phased array systems, when sufficiently powerful (a ground-based system could have a heavy powerplant indeed), are potentially useful not only for detection and tracking, but also electronic warfare and directed energy attacks

The non-Soviet alliance whose perspective we see has discovered an anomaly in a crater (Shackleton) and built a base around it (Horizon) on the surface of the moon. The anomaly seems to be a wormhole to somewhere else in the galaxy/universe. This opens up onto a planet with massive ice/water content, along with other valuable resources that are crucial for life in space. And here we see the Soviets attacking the facility on the moon, sparking all out war.

This got into my recommendations and I want more

The ending is one wild escalation. It should read as the first extra terrestrial war, but we skip that and go straight to extra solar, as if the moon is in another solar system. Amazing video though. Very cool.

[@joshuabean7167]

It because of the secret in-side of horizon crater

[@ruskiwaffle1991]

Apparently Horizon is the site of a wormhole that leads to another system. Maybe because this crater and anomaly is of global importance it causes tension between the USSR and USA leading to the space confrontation. I wonder what happens to everybody back on Earth, maybe that's for another video.

1:19 I like how spacecraft looks weird mi 24 and souyz hybrid 😆

[@Vsor]

Ok, so I'm having trouble keeping track of which ships are which. 0:26 Lockheed Quarterhorse (nice touch that it isn't Lockheed Martin, I guess the Martin Marietta merger never happened) 0:35 VKS Oscar gunship? the Quarterhorse has 1 gun, so it cant be that. 0:49 OSD Defender 0:52 Either the VKS Silocraft, or some unnamed OSD ship. It isn't the defender since there is no orion drive. 0:59 Some unknown OSD silocraft? it shows it launching nukes after mentioning that strikes were authorized against the north (VKS) 1:09 Quarterhorse again 1:14 no idea, maybe the VKS Silocraft again. 1:17 VKS Oscar gunship

[@fernandomarques5166]

0:52 is defo the VKS Olympic-class Silocraft, looks way too much alike the silhouette shown at the "Hostile fleet" section earlier. Biggest ID'ing features is the long silos running down the lenght of the craft.

[@IPC-D_Media_Unit]

1:14 is an OSD-1 exchanging fire with a Olympic/KoM-18 Ozone silocraft. 1:17 is actually a VKS Oarfish class interceptor. There's nothing about the Oarfish or the OSD-1 in the video, but its on the guy's twitter page.

I just discovered this arg series and I am loving the presentation, the cgi is a bit obvious even through the filter but the musical sting more than make up for it.

[@Mega_21]

I think the obvious CGI look is intentional, not to mention really well done considering how it's completely changed the looks of kerbal space program

[@Rhino-hq1tf]

Actually it’s Kerbel Space Program with some really good filter work.

this is the hardest ksp video ive ever seen

Shackleton, As in.. The guy who saved his entire crew from Elephant Island?

[@Vsor]

Shackleton crater is a real crater on the moon, and it does actually contain an abnormal amount of water ice. And yes, it is named after that Shackleton.

[@CalvinNoire]

@@Vsor Interesting.
