  1. Ever since yesterday's Hagar comic.... Yup, I remember that one too!
  2. Sorry, but, this is the only video I can imagine with that music...
  3. https://spacenews.com/starliner-valve-investigation-continues-to-focus-on-moisture-interaction-with-propellant/ It'll be ready when... it's ready
  4. Are they raiding the Mad Max movie vehicle storage lots?
  5. The primary reason for building the 553m CN Tower in Toronto was so the signal from the TV antenna on top could reach into the small valleys in the area, something no 10m tower could do unless there was one on every ridgeline, which would probably cause some sort of multipath interference, please excuse the run-on sentence I’ll stop now.
  6. I don't mean to pick on BO, but they make it so easy. I also want them to succeed, and I want to cheer them on, but there's precious little to cheer for. But I applaud their efforts with NS; at least they seem to be beating VG in that turtle derby. But space is hard,..
  7. The mind boggles at the size of, well, everything. If you wanna build it BI-I-I-I-IG, yup, build it in Texas! Yeehaw!
  8. Yes, I'm gathering that one of the UAE goals is to get training and experience for their young people. I would assume there are young Emiratis at UoC deeply involved with the projects.
  9. An 11.4kg (25lb) turkey in a cast iron roaster. The rack held, but it'll never be the same again... Guess what's for dinner tonight? And tomorrow night.... And the next night...
  10. Absolutely. The first step towards utilizing their resources
  11. I never tried them, but my best guess is that it sounds like sort of a niche product that only they carry, and it ends up being not profitable enough to maintain the supply. If a big outcry convinces JiTB to bring them back, I'd expect a significantly higher price.
  12. Nah, I’m a cryosnob. Give me cryo or give me death (then cryo)!
  13. You know you spend too much time on rocket forums when you type “hy” and “hydrolox “ is the first choice of your smartphone’s autocomplete algorithm.
  14. … until the ground is covered in 10 feet 3 meters of ice and nothing is growing. Time to break out the nuclear-powered hydroponics kit.
  15. Those 'thopters are some sweet looking machines, for sure. Looks pretty epic!
  16. I finally bought a bump cap for work, because I was tired of occasionally and painfully bumping my head. I never wore a hat at work before, so some people were doing a double-take. One person pointed out that I still had the plastic tag-holder strand thingamabob poking up from my cap, and that it looked kind of like an antenna. I replied that I had to keep in touch with the mothership, lol. Even funnier in the context of my username here; not that he knew that.
