A comet?

Spreading manure everywhere

Nice Korolev Kross, IIRC 8/10

LOL Calvin rocks! I was going to follow up with SPaceMan Spiff's ship, but it doesn't really belong in this thread.... *runs off to another thread*

Now, if they could just make an in-game app for that...

I agree, after the delays in the last few launches (not always SpaceX' fault) it's nice to see them put one on the pad and launch it with no extra mucking about

Ok, so it's a minivan. What makes this 2014 Grand Caravan my new favorite? Because it's brand new, and it's MINE. Well, ok, my wife will mostly drive it. And it's the first vehicle either of us had had that's less than 10 years old!

He narrated many things, including this, as well as Civilization IV. LLAP

Farewell Spock. I hope some of your ashes join Scotty's where they belong: in space

Deploy? Deploy what? My lander is my rover, as well as my return vehicle.... This was actually a rescue rover, from back before I got better at precision landings.

Apparently it's something reflective. Ice, metal, glassified regolith, similar to trinitite?

I don't know enough Python to know where most of the quotes are from unless it's from the Grail. But I just have to say.... NI!!!!

Occasionally I'll bring my laptop over to some friends' house and we'll fire up StarCraft, 3 against the world

Did someone say panda?

Some sort of burr-type plant, the sort that inspired Velcro? or Pollen?

I just landed a 2-stage Moho lander with 4 48-7S's surrounding an LV-909 on the descent stage. Oodles of TWR to make it easy.

There was a weird cloud formation in the Fraser Valley Sunday morning, nicely lit by the rising sun: (sorry for the huge pic) More pics The consensus (aside from aliens and chemtrails) is that it's a cloud formation called a 'fallstreak hole.' I'm thinking it's a jet contrail. Thoughts? Edit: I forgot the disclaimer, I did not take any of the pics, just linked them from the GlobalTV facebook page

10/10 for the nice shiny Apollo replica I give you Big Bertha: nearly 17kilo-units of fuel on the hoof

Moving the vertical stabilizer (with its attached tailplanes) as far back as possible will give more pitch moment. Once you get the pitch up, it'll generate more lift. While I rarely build aircraft, I've been known to use vernors or sepratrons to help get the pitch up. And I certainly don't think there's any shame in using RATO to get the speed up.

73. Prime-time

"Rabbit season! FIRE!" Er wait, wrong thread... Hmmm, simultaneous posts, going opposite ways... "Uhhhh, which way did they go , George, which way did they go....?" I guess they cancel out, so I'll say 17, again...

Country died...
