    So, how does this compare to people’s current plans? Anyone signed up?

    I’ll only support hydrogen jetliners if the get to take off in a fireball like the Delta 4.

    Always interesting when the cars and concrete buildings are burned and the trees are still green. We're going to need some major adjustments to how we build in the wildish west.

    No worries, I’m always happy to watch Mr Manley. I was halfway in and remembered I had seen it before!

    That’s from last year.

    If he gets hit, the helmet’s not gonna help.

    Remember also that owls are optimized for silent flight. I wonder what features of the wing allow this?

    They compare to the thickness of a dime but only show the face! no sorry I misread it - there is a dime edge, I thought that was supposed to be the centaur V tank. Why compare to a dime in the first place? (Although dollars are pretty common internationally, I doubt dimes are.)

    On magnetic roller skates? Or do you mean on the inside?

    Unless that trash becomes historical -then its "maybe we shouldn't be disturbing this trash heap."

    Pounds-mass is only a thing if you know your reference gravity. This is the textbook example of not being able to assume g = 9.81 m/s2 = 32.2 ft/s2 everywhere. Sloppy unit conversions kill space missions just as dead as faulty rockets.

    Moon pounds or earth pounds?

    I don't really follow auto racing. Are there any top level races that allow electric cars?

    So, "it works in KSP" is like TRL :3.5?

    Didn't the Air Force give them some dev $? Could they use it for another project?

    They don’t need any more crashes!

    They were trying to hit F9.

    You guys should work for NASA, with this level of effort you could make the SLS make sense!

    Nah, I saw Ad Astra, real astronauts are emotionally stunted sociopaths with suppressed daddy issues.

    What's the up/down down count on starlinks these days?I can't keep up!

    2 sensors I would find very useful to be part of my day-to-day tricorder: - Laser tape measure - infrared thermometer

    Sorry to hear that @Errol. The difficulties of rocketry can be a great metaphor for relationships. To get it right you may have to try many times, and when it goes wrong, you have to look at what happened and try to fix it before the next flight. But metaphors only get you so far. Relationships are their own kind of hard work, both to get started and to maintain. But as someone who has been there, I'd say it was worth the effort to get through it and make it work. Better luck next time, eh?

    @tater , has this thing flown over your house yet?

    Well they are floating upside down in the superfluid.
