First, assume a spherical toroidal cow.

Reply to comment by GracefullyIgnorant in TIL that in WW2, a Marine Corps Corsair pilot used his propeller to chew off the tail of an enemy aircraft after his guns jammed, while under fire from the enemy plane's tailgunner. The enemy plane crashed but the Corsair pilot made it back to base, receiving the Navy Cross for his actions. by hipster_deckard
That’s exactly what happened, they found chunks of the tail wing in the cowling. And also the obvious damage to the prop.

One of them is appropriate for human missions and expensive flagship robotic missions, the other is appropriate for cheap/quick missions that are easily replaceable.

Reply to comment by rugbat in China looked at putting a monitoring satellite in retrograde geostationary orbit via the moon by OkOrdinary5299
It would be the same orbit but in reverse direction. So it would see everything in Geosync fly by at double velocity every 12 hours. Really good way to survey everything in geosync and possibly to attack them.

Reply to comment by -veskew in TIL about Operation Bernhard. During WWII, Germany attempted to bring about the collapse of the British economy by forging ≈£130 million in British bank notes. The notes are considered among the most perfect counterfeits ever produced, and are very difficult to differentiate from legitimate notes. by rkadeYT
There’s a great book about an American woman who essentially founded spy craft by her work in occupied France: A Woman of No Importance. The Abwehr features prominently and comes off as mostly incompetent except for 1 extremely dangerous counterintelligence agent.
