Mostly dead reckoning i.e. knowing where you started, your acceleration, and the equations of motion. It's actually still how most missiles work, AIUI few have the ability to receive time signals from a satellite while in motion.

Mostly dead reckoning.

I thought you were talking about ships and was about to introduce you to the chronometer.

knowing where you started, your acceleration, and the equations of motion. It's actually still how most missiles work, AIUI few have the ability to receive time signals from a satellite while in motion.

Kinda rad, if it weren't for the thing it's used for

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer
