It’s Mad Max boiling down in the creator for 30 years. Pretty strong brew now... :)

GASOLINE FIGHT!

Cannot convert null to ‘penis’ because it is a non-nullable value type.

Most of those buildings were actually built in a factory off-site and probably took much longer than the 6-15 days it took to assemble at the site. Plenty of American buildings are made from tilt-up concrete construction and they go up very quickly too because most of the manufacturing is done off-site. Same with…

Pfft, that smartphone app thinks it can scare me? I’d just break this bad boy out of storage.

Living in Central Florida, we would get TWO of them every time the space shuttle returned. The shuttle would fly over Central Florida as it traveled west to east toward Cape Canaveral.

This looks like something out of Event Horizon.

Ok to be fair here, rocket engineers tends to call turbopump fed rockets; turbopumps with a rocket attached. This is because a vast proportion of the mechanical design and testing time goes into the turbopumps. If your rocket costs serveral million to build and you have turbopumps on it, spending several tens of…

This is a SpaceX Merlin engine, and the exhaust plume to the right of the nozzle is from the turbopump. That’s fuel that could otherwise be launching payloads.
