I don’t like it and I think its lazy and overly risk averse but I’m not personally offended by it. Its the same mentality that brought us the Mustang II.

They WERE building it in the first place, but thought the pad would hold up for just one launch.

Eh,... I’m not sure “harmonics” means what you think it means.

I foresee the water in that “plate with holes in it” being flash vaporized and creating a large explosion when the physics of “shooting water vertically at a bunch of rocket engines” is tested...

False.

They “tried” something that tons of people knew would fail. It wasn’t a useful experiment because it didn’t reveal any new information.

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide,
65 tons of American Pride!

I would rather they do something more effective.

Hey,... I got laid off early in my career at NASA because of Republicans throwing a hissy fit. Glad to see nothing has changed.

They probably sell as many $100k GMC trucks as they care to make, I just think that the population of EV buyers and $100k GMC buyers is relatively separate.

That is a hell of a sentence... well done.

Yes, it is well known that electric vehicles, like computers and smart phones stop working completely the second that a newer model is released...

Many people who can legitimately afford $500k cars would steal a pile of hotel shampoo off of the cleaning crew’s cart if given a chance...

If they keep treating celebrities badly, the celebrities are just going to stop showing up in visible places.

Did she “owe” anyone anything? Nope

Regardless of whether or not Adams supported this family throughout time,... why does he have to lie about such an innocuous detail? That’s the kind of thing that makes me think he’s a habitual liar.

You’re right that new materials aren’t a problem in and of themselves, the most important part is that the new materials are suited for the task. The syntactic foam that was used in Deepsea Challenger was an innovation based on class of materials that had been used in submersibles before. The other fundamental…

Are they talking about the debris field rather than the search area?

Fancy that, the things that are made out of what everybody else makes submersibles out of survived,...

I didn’t see any parts that look like remnants of the carbon fiber section... That’s the most likely part to fail. Its under the most stress in a cylinder and was probably the weakest.
