Don't worry, that's coming... so those in power, the elite worldwide, won't have to be bothered with all you little people down here. The Troglytes episode comes to mind ("The Cloud Minders").

Back in the 80's I was coming into Newark on a short-hop commuter flight, just in time to catch the Macy's fireworks over NYC... as well as all the surrounding cities and towns in Jersey. Yes, it was very cool! I was kind of wishing we'd circle a bit lol.

Indeed. And more than that, their deeds and history are for the most part unsung.

That would be the Yellowstone caldera, and yes the dome is currently rising.

Not entirely correct. Ex-USCoastguardsman here. True. During times of peace, the CG was under DOT (aids to navigation and all that). During times of war however, it actually became a part of the Navy, which is under the jurisdiction of DOD. These days the CG is under DHS (internal), which is like DOD's (external) brother.

Thank you! Indeed, we're having a great 4th here.

Humm... this link gets hijacked and redirected to here: "http://www.thecurrent.org/heartland" Spacegoats at work

Ya, space got cows... BABY CAN SPACE!!!

Space ferrets... because they're cool.

It starts with this... And then we proceed to...

Has this been resolved @Spacetraindriver?

Yes!... because small hands or not, you can still go to SPACE! Now go download the demo and give it a whorl!

The instant I read that, what immediately came to my mind was the image of Mickey Rooney as the helicopter pilot (in his green top hat and scarf) in the movie The Bridges At Toko-Ri flying one of these...

Not having it here in front of me I can only guess, but my first thought is that permissions are involved being KSP is likely viewed as a 3rd-party app.

Well you've seen the crew that wanders about in the VAB and SPH, all those vehicles racing around running over Kerbals and such. So, it's easy to imagine their recovery team, much of the same... Kerbals numbering in the dozens, milling about willy-nilly, with service vehicles doing the death race all over the place running over the recovery crew. It's truly amazing that any science gets done.

I can't help but ask: Why are your SQL database files not backed up on a daily basis? Why do you not have the tools to go in and restore/merge selected record content? It's clear to me, you folks have issues.

6 mods. ModuleManager - because of the obvious MemGraph - because it helps calm stutter (a little) SCANsat - because I don't go anywhere without mapping it first KAC - because of too many irons in the fire, and she gets mad when I'm late for a date Hullcam VDS Continued - because of docking cameras, like the real thing Chatterer - because I got tired of talking to myself, and I needed a good laugh, and Kerbals are hilarious if you take the time to listen

End of the day, as we all sat around having barbecue and beverage, I apologized again and told him I thought what I said was better than what I was initially tempted to say - as one would an actor about to go perform on stage - which was "Break a leg!" His instructor friend spit his beverage all over himself.

Not exactly a quote, but..... Old friend of mine about to go up and do a final jump (before his solo) with his ex British Special Forces paratrooper (Paras) instructor friend ... I told him "Good luck!" ... more-so meaning to have fun. I got lambasted royally on the spot and was told you never wish a paratrooper 'good luck' before a jump. What the hell did I know. oops

Skunks here nearly every night ... I'm used to it. Kinda like it, spells Country to me (I live on the edge of a forest).

One not complained about yet; Me, today. Nothing worse than going food shopping and getting everything under the sun that you really don't need ... and finding out once you've gotten back home and put all the groceries away that you've forgotten the milk - the very thing you needed most and had gone to the store for in the first place. grrrrr

Apparently, yes. New to me, so 'new' got thrown in there.

93F here today. A/C is on! It's supposed to be another hot one tomorrow... so I'm trying to decide: pool or beach?

It's a new tv (Netflix) series for the mindless masses.
