Admiral Fluffy Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 A critical part of the last hubble servicing mission was ripping something off the telescope. Quote Massimino encountered issues with a handrail that had to be removed to accommodate the fastener-capture plate. The handrail had a stripped bolt on the bottom, preventing it from being released. After trying multiple options without success, managers on the ground advised Massimino to use brute force to remove the handrail, so he could proceed with the removal of the cover plate. The procedure was tested at Goddard Space Flight Center prior to approving it, showing that the stripped bolt could be broken off safely using force. Working inside the orbiter, Feustel walked Massimino through the procedure slowly, advising him to tape the handrail with Kapton tape to prevent any parts from breaking off or flying loose, to be aware of the reaction the force would have, as well as to watch for sharp edges on the handrail after removal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STS-125#17_May_(Flight_day_7) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like someone assembled a car backwards by mistake, but by the time they realized, they were too embarrassed to do anything about it.

Source: https://nailgun3d.artstation.com/projects/Pm4Z03 That looks more like a beetle than the Beetle! Meanwhile, back at Ford, I think there are some kerbals in the skunkworks. As in.... MOAR BOOSTERZ MOTORZ!!!1!! As in seven of them. For 1400hp. Oh, and it's electric. Sounds like a UFO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meecrob Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) It's kinda odd. Like cool, high performance cars are going electric...but what percent of annual GHG emmissions is that? The Kerbal thing to do would be to make everything electric...not just sponsored people with gopros. Edit: to stop complaining, nah lets see an electric tank or something!

DDE Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 We're back to our usual programming. Motorcycle. Rockets. World War II. B.M. Barinov, V.M. Karin, and the mailbox of GABTU's Inventions (and helpful suggestions) Department. Apparently one one of the aircraft design bureaus was already testing something similar... with live rounds.
