Always wanted to fly in an L1011, never got the chance.

Sure was good for them, look who’s running DOD! Ha!

Obvious...

Boeing keeps losing on the military side of things, I just don’t get it. They build some nice airliners though.

For what it’s worth, Ecclestone sold his ownership percentage to a British investment company called CVC in around 2002, CVC sold F1 to Liberty.
Just as an aside, During the CVC ownership CVC produced two bond issues each for two billion dollars. This money was put into the pockets of CVC and the interest payments…

I don’t have a link. The story that had the 60 minutes clip was published on Gizmodo. As I remember the story had to do with China’s growing competence in space and the threat this posed to US satellites. The 60 minutes clip was meant to buttress how the US military is on top of this issue interviewing the General in…

The history of Apple is one of deep incompetence in manufacturing their products in the USA. Years ago Apple had a plant in Fridemount (?) or some such place in California. Stupid delay after stupid delay had Apple constantly replacing the person in charge of the plant, finally, they announced a new person was now in…

By all means, let’s chase our tails. Another anti F35 story on a blog that does that for a living.
You’re chasing your tail if you think boost phase is where it’s at and somehow a plane will have something to do with it. There are many proposals to repurpose or add capabilities to the big weapons programs all the…

I am not completely sure of what you’re saying. My confusion comes from knowing that this era engine was first raced in 2014 and the specs were set down in 2010. Honda started development of their first of this era engine a year later than the others. Whatever engine Honda has now is still part of the new era engine.…

We really don’t know what’s going to happen in the future regarding this technology, there are many things which are likely to happen. If I have ideas how things will change, and I do, there are many others who have many more ideas, there is mystery in the future.
It is highly likely that 8k or 10k will find a purpose…

“If anything, though, Honda’s ability to make realistic goals is inspiring”.
Do you mean uninspiring?
This just in, after six years of development and four years of on-track racing Honda has announced that they will be having someone else make their turbo. That’s right folks one of the most important power generators in…

And they build an extremely funny one for F1. FAKT!

This thing is cool on every level! Most of the stuff that is going on in tech is a tedious trend and derivative of something that has already passed away. This thing is the start of something that will be around for a long time. The sky will be a canvas, each summer I see skywriters and blimps etc, bring on the…

As with most sports there is a tendency for fans to look at the world through the eyes of the teams they like, but if you are showing up not as a team fan but as a race fan or a competition fan, as in racing, as in smile on your face as drivers try to overtake, your view is for your own enjoyment not from the POV of…

One of the roles of a team principle seems to be to establish an unbreakable personal bond with the top driver, in this case, at Ferrari it’s Arrivabene with Vettel. Arrivabene is now gone does Vettel feel empty? Is Binotto going to become a people person after all those years as an engineer? The relationship between…

Right now the philosophical underpinnings of the last 40 years in U.S. national security are being questioned to the point of being blown up. This is a long time coming and it looks like we are going to do things on the world stage in a much different way. Behind the scenes, this is driving people out of their fucking…

Total galactic diamond! Perhaps in a pearl cut?

There have been many scientific reports of water on Mars over the years. Ice at the poles has been accepted for well over a decade. I think the confusion comes from NASA constantly talking about looking for water with just about every probe they sling into space. With such a constant flow of Mars probes and all the…

Would it make anyone feel better if this color scheme is the new Juul color scheme? Ferrari and Juul, better start getting used to that one.

1200 bhp is the new 1001, my guess is it will be no less.
