Tiniest, briefest, most inconsequential brush with celebrity. My family and I along with my best friend and his family were attending our company’s annual picnic at a western Pennsylvania amusement park. Most of the kids are all off doing their thing and it’s just us four parents and maybe two of the youngest kids.…

Most of the time, all you need in a knife fight is a knife.

Which is essentially the type of warfare we've been fighting since the end of WWII.

Bigger, faster, more complex, more expensive. Those are the only things DoD is willing to buy anymore. Did we NOT learn anything in Vietnam? That technological superiority doesn't guarantee victory?

They were taken in space. Which we know still to this day is a tremendously hard and difficult thing to do. This makes every single one of them, even if one were taken with the lens cap still on, amazing. They were the best this country could do.

No Pioneer 10 or 11? What a sham!

How long of a runway do you need to land one fully loaded?? I'm guessing all of the east coast!

The CAS role only became part of its mission suite because the program sucked up the money which would otherwise go to the A-10. They took the mission and money, but don't have the proper tools to do the job.

I'm referring specifically to Eric Garner, but NOBODY deserves to die as a result of selling untaxed cigarettes. There has to be a non-lethal middle ground in which someone resisting arrest can be detained/subdued without being shot. The rule of thumb should be minimum force necessary.

And here's where the pilots are bred

To be honest there is so little coming out of Hollywood that I'd like to pirate, it just isn't worth my time and effort to try to do so. If there's something I truly want to have a copy of I'll just run down to my local used DVD store and buy a copy for $10, which at Hollywood's current rate of quality movies,…

Well, they're already planning the 737 MAX. New engines, wing design and interiors similar to 787.

Despite all it's teething pains, Boeing made the right choice when it focused on fuel efficiency and brought out the 787.

I'll be first in line for this ride!

Seeing Bond as a less suave blunt instrument is WONDERFUL. Daniel Craig totally redefines and reinvigorates the character.

All it takes is 1% for space. If we had that much in predictable funding annually and then the politicians kept their collective noses out of it, we COULD be constructing the building blocks to Mars right now. Unfortunately, as the political winds blow, so does the space program.

Actually this was my favorite episode of the series. With the knowledge of everyone being a carrier, and in the end the final destruction of the last CDC facility, it signified the end of any semblance of a pre-zombie society, the end of hope. Nothing left but misery. You don't need a happy ending to have a great…

They were always the overwhelming underdog. Still would have been nice to have that cross range ability though. And let's face it from a sentimental view it does look like a baby shuttle.

Dream Chaser is a direct descendant of the HL-10/ HL-20 family

Hopefully I can ask questions without getting immediately vilified:
