  1. https://www.nasa.gov/pdf/291744main_NASCAR_Ares_Nov_08.pdf
  2. Wait, so there are 78 other Dman's? So what, does he play defense on a hockey team? (pardon my ignorance, but are there other sports that refer to defensive players (defensemen) as "dee-men"?
  3. “There is no Dark Side of the Moon really. As a matter of fact it’s all dark… (thump-thump, thump-thump, thump-thump….)
  4. Guess where we’re camping near this weekend? Which inspired me to introduce this movie to my kids? (an oldie but a goodie) ”They drew first blood, not me…. They drew first blood”
  5. They need to tweak the number of thrusters so the total is 42. That’s the answer to everything…
  6. As said before, lifting them out of the thicker air where recontact may be an issue. The trade off for slanted nose comes on the solids; ULA need to go the kerbal way and slant them to aid in separation (j/k, I’m sure there’s other complications with that). It could be worse; one of the Indian launch vehicles has the core burn out before the boosters! (IIRC) Glad to hear it was apparently a successful launch though
  7. It would probably overshoot the pad and do the flip over water (or at least over the shoreline) and then come back in for landing from the east.
  8. Well then, from my perspective KSP2 will be released Kanuary first, 0 A.K (Anno Kerbali. or Year of our Kerbals)
  9. Clouds are teasing me tonight. I gave up hope after a day of rain, but right now the eastern horizon is mostly clear. But the Moon won't rise for another 25 minutes and the clouds are moving back in that way.... But I'm rigging my phone to my little pentax monocular(AirMiles special pos) anyways, just in case E: Yup, Moon should be up now, but there's hardly any sky visible, and certainly not where the Moon should be...
  10. Time to revive this... walked into a dark kitchen while boiling water for tea and... whoa! https://i.imgur.com/oIhmmiW.mp4
  11. Oh, I'm 51, and it end up as I have to eat (and so do the dog and cat), and i have to take a shower at least every 2-3 days, or every day when working. But I don't have to clean every weekend unless company's coming; that's what the kids, the dishwasher, and the roomba are for. Although, if I want it done right...
  12. The trick is convincing yourself that a want-to is really a have-to, as in, I don't have to vacuum today, it can wait another week, or two, or three. And I don't have to do the dishes until there are no more clean ones, etc.... That's how the teenage mind works: So it becomes "if you want your phone to be more than a brick, yes, you have to do it ASAP.!"
  13. I swear I’ll stop procrastinating… starting tomorrow…
  14. Somewhat surprised they used a new booster for Starlinks, you’d think they’d use it for a Crew flight or other outside customer… Oh right, but it wasn’t “flight-proven” yet…
  15. Ep 9, yeah, just put your brain on pause and enjoy the spectacle. Much better that way. As for the end of Mando S2:
  16. Weather forecast for the Wet Coast is not promising...
  17. My guess is mass vs effectiveness vs complexity (part count)
  18. And we won’t talk about which way is the right way, or you’ll be sleeping on the couch…
  19. It's good to know the basics in as many subjects as possible. In many professional fields, being able to write a report (essay) in a timely manner is a valuable skill that can take you far. I'm sure @adsii1970 would agree with that.
  20. Two ways of doing things: My way or the wrong way... But the reality is that there's three ways of doing things: My way, your way, or the right way...
