I dunno. I just re-read the entire war-us-boring piece on it again yesterday, and it’s still spot-on two years later. JSF has that crucial design flaw, being built around the stupid fan, that is really a fundamental mistake. No matter how good the software gets, the physics won’t change. I’m not saying scrap it at…
How many assholes have we got on this ship anyhow?

+1 for Gwaker.
Fortunately thanks to Cold War 1.0, as far as internet communications go, losing a few cables was planned for.
Weird, he doesn't look nearly as old as I remember him looking on tv when I was 10.
His whole wiki page and story are fascinating.
Would have been awesome if it wasn’t minuscule in my phone browser. Never thought I’d see the day when I wished something was on YouTube rather than Vimeo.
Honestly, that’s not a bad idea.
I loved my 1988 RX-7. No matter how many gallons of oil I had to feed it.
Jobs
I dunno, for years economists predicted the death of jobs.
-Re: ‘Money to be made’... Sure. Just like the oil and gas industry taking money from the horse saddle and buggy whip industry. I’d rather electric cars and solar Barron’s over Coal Kings and Oil Oligarchs personally.
It’s a known fact that every temperature sensor they’ve used for this since 1883 has been placed under the exhaust vent of an a/c system. #knowthefacts #knowmyfacts
Meteorites Maddie. I’d be living every waking second up there scared shitless that a space rock which is simply the size of a marble and is virtually undetectable, and is traveling at 75,000 miles per hour and is left over from the Big Bang, could end it all, easily.
You think it’s bad now? They went public, so get ready for pressure to perform on a quarterly basis. You’re gonna see ‘market expansion’ strategies with new model lines and more economical trim. And the only thing worse than no profit improvements are quarterly losses; I.e risk aversion. If it ain’t broke... they…
Those pics are certainly better. But honestly, in hindsight now, even the one on the right seems a bit sub-par and underwhelming in a way. Funny I didn’t think so when it came out but now... seems... scrawny?
Thing was ugly as sin wasn't it?
While I agree in principle, and I’m really no fan of JSF, thats a bit nieve and short-sighted of them. Because it means they’re excluding themselves by default. What if Toronto gets hit with a 9/11 style attack and ISIS says ‘yeah that was us, come at me bro.’ Then what? Canadians are still people (who knew?). They’ll…
I was gonna make a snide joke about ‘looks’ and capability but it was widely rumored that in the end, ‘looks’ beat Boeing for JSF in the first place. Wonder why...
I thought the F-35 was bad news for the F-35 program.
