Vomit Comets only good for about 30-60 seconds of free fall. They were up in that condition for 11 minutes. Saw about 30 seconds of Katy PErrys post landing interview...... "I feel so connected to love".

I've not stopped talking about how the Bidens funneled money to themselves, nor how they funneled billions into NGOs who then funneled money back to politicians. You might have heard of something called the Inflation Reduction Act? Biden never made any of his buddies rich because he doesn't have...

Our regs are indeed mostly all written from necessity. I think it gets much muddier...

So much for the Tesla sales tank in Europe.

So iteration matters.

Every time I'm working with engineers on new stuff, I get tagged early as the hardware ahole. I demand that we think about 20-40 years of mechanics who will be working on this stuff in deserts and the arctic after 14 hour shifts with the worst tools. Screw RTV seals on panels, no swaz tips...

Between the structural lab guys, and the Cargo lab guys and the ALSS folks, I've had some fun times over there. The poor intern whose job was to **** and release the slide hammer all summer didn't have a lot of fun. Needed a LOT of data points.

Yep, bright but otherwise not very exciting. Missiles love em though........ I was there as the tech for that test. Went to do it again a few years later and the environmental folks freaked out....... burning magnesium/teflon? Oh hell no. So I took a Cobra wing out to Crane so we could test the...

There was an HH-60 for a while. Not armored though, as I recall.
