XB-70A

Some will be happy!

To those who would prefer to have the images and engines sound without the comments, this video can be nice: This channel got some really nice footage from the different launches at the CSG, but none of them are available in English... the CNES touch.

When a Blue Origin Thread fan is going into the SpaceX Discussion Thread, and vice versa:

Totally right, the original data were suggesting that the best configuration simply was a purely flat surface, without any vertical reflecting. Even Denys Overholser, considered as one of the F-117 fathers, decided to codename the original project as "Hopeless Diamond". Johnson himself have declared that "a computer the size of the Delaware" was needed to realize the calculations. Ben Rich, another of the engineers, wrote that one day Johnson put a quarter on a table telling him that such a project was "pure craziness" and betting it will never fly.

No problems too, and don't worry about as I didn't felt it as "biatchy". I grew up in a place were peoples are pretty "free minded" (some times too much), and their normal behavior could be interpreted as aggressive sometime by the tourists. It leads to some crazy but fun experiences!

Natural laziness to search... really. But the fact you mentioned O'Grady, with a link to his page, refreshed my memory well as I have totally forgot that his story happened in 95 (I would have bet it was in 99, which was another F-16), so thanks for it

The example of how Fleming have discovered the Penicillin clearly is one of the most famous. One of my favorites is the story of the Lockheed Have Blue, the project which have leaded to the F-117. Originally, two engineers from the Skunk Works found a way to reach some Soviet studies from the 60's, but which were refused by the Big Heads of the country at the time as they were considered as "sorcery" (according to their words). Then, even the head of the department, the legendary Clarence Johnson, was against this project and its straight angled structure, considering it ridiculous, unproved by the calculations, and un-flyable... but it worked!

I know the story of Captain O'Grady, my point was about Lieutenant Richardson from the RN who was shot down about a year before.

Confirmed by this Sea Harrier pilot (forgot his name) who got shot down over Bosnia, and who ate roots, leaves, and insects until he was recovered some days later.

The moderators when they are patrolling the forums: Mission Reports (about Jool-5 missions): What did you do in KSP today?: (No really, I'm always running out of likes here)

Well, it seems like at least one picture of fire is posted on every page here, so...

Have you looked for an ultra-light license? The category is still depending of the different countries all around the world, but it can be more affordable, easier to practice, and (more important) funnier. The days where ultra-lights aircraft were flown by true bug smashers, hanging under a delta wing, and with a propeller in the back, are dying slowly as more and more models now are cockpit/cabin closed and are using a more traditional configuration. From my personal experience, I used to fly frequently on a C172S for the "small" amount of 180 euros per hour (sigh), still considered as "affordable" by the community, and on a diesel powered DA40NG for 161 euros (again, way too much), then somebody made me discover the WT9 made by Aerospool and which was just fantastic! The club was renting it 100 euros an hour with all maintenance and fuel fees included, and honestly this aircraft was way more interesting to fly than the standard flying cans classified as "light airplanes". Here she is: However, there was a small legal trap with her: the empty mass was around 260 kg, and the operational mass around 450 kg (so still an ultra-light, legally), but the max take-off mass was 600 kg so at this time it was legally considered as an airplane. Still, most of the recent ultra-light are using Rotax 912/14/15 engines, which means a lower fuel fare as they are drinking standard road vehicles unleaded gasoline, from 87 to 95. Without counting their drinking rate of around 13-17 l/h, way more economic than the Skyhawk SP thirsty Lycoming which was drinking 37 l/10 gal per hour and for a lower cruising speed.

Every time we got a new announcement:

I tried to take some correct pictures today, but for a reason unknown to me the quality was affected.

I just made the same mistake when I re-read the post! Kerbals are manipulating us. Here is a picture of the cell:

Well, there’s a medium sized storm cell right now, just at the West of the KSC... but the wind is SSE, so let’s hope they will not cancel.

Not a problem, for a deep and real flatard the "Illuminaties" can fake at any time.

Indeed, but... it will be FAKE!!!

Ridiculous. Books are flat due to the gravity which has flattened Kerbin under its own mass! Look at all these green old-timers around you, they are being flattened with the time under the gravity! WAKE UP PEOPLES!1!!111!!!

One song Herman.

Another interesting site can be found here: http://www.satview.org/spacejunk.php?sat_id=37820U A map with the expected reentry site is available for every updates: I remember having looked at it on Sunday, the site was then located at NNW of the Desolation Islands.
