    Arms and Armament

    So, I was catching up on some blog posts this morning, and happened upon one which discussed the way objects can reflect characters, and happened to use their choices of weapons as an example. Which set me off down the track of contemplating what, in Equestria's earlier and rather rougher pieces of history, might our favorite protagonists arm themselves with should such warlike preparations be

    Color Coordination

    Given the full-spectrum range of coat and mane colors among Equestrian ponies, can you imagine the trouble planners of any sort of public event that needs a seating chart must have? Not only do they have to take into account all the same considerations that we do, but Earthly event planners don't have to worry about accidentally creating eye-wateringly bad color combinations by accident.

Today's Question As An Exercise For The Reader, Rocket Bronies! · 7:34am Jun 19th, 2016

Compute the thrust power, exhaust velocity, specific impulse, thrust, and mass flow of the Celestia Drive.

(i.e., that particular fusion torch drive created by placing an alicorn at the base of your rocket and feeding her cake to transform by obscure magical metabolic processes into burning hot nuclear plasma)

For extra credit, explore how the engine characteristics can be modified by altering the inputs. Does red velvet cake produce higher thrust or better specific impulse than tres leches? There's a whole field of cake-thrust-ology to explore! Look at us here talking when there's science to do!
