But none of those things have anything to do with Moore. Some of his movies were good, but he wasn’t a good Bond. He was still playing The Saint.

Only one parachute would be a ‘LOVC Event’ in NASA parlance (loss of vehicle and crew). This test can be called the Apollo 15 test, because that capsule lost a parachute but landed on the two remaining.

Orion is designed to land on the water. The Commercial Crew Program vehicles, SpaceX’s Dragon V2 and Boeing’s CST-100 can land on the land (through propulsive landing and airbags, respectivly). And they won’t be the first, obviously the Shuttle Orbiter used a runway.

Not if you’re Scott Manley

This is correct. The correct order of Bonds are: Connery > Craig > Dalton (Line between good/bad) Lazenby > Brosnan > Moore

Does the author understand that the BLM protest was at a Sanders rally that already had thousands of attendees?

So your reasoning is: he knows how to design a wing = he knows about the motives of alien beings. (To use the literal translation of ‘aeronautics’ in fact would mean his expertise ends at the Karman line)

Good points, but my argument re:temperature is that by being behind doors, the shuttle tires were at a constant temperature in space. If exposed, they would rapidly swing in temperature depending on whether they were in the sun or in the shade.

But the Shuttle Orbiter tires were sealed off from space, only emerging seconds from touchdown (and the temperatures are not near zero, they alternate between -100 and +100 in shadow/sunlight, which would be hell on rubber). But the problem with rubber tires on Mars isn’t just about the environment. The gravity is…

That’s actually not that egregious. Statutory rape is a strict liability offense-meaning you violate the law if you have sex with someone underage. There’s no intent required, so it’s no defense that it was an honest mistake, or that the minor consented.

But what promises would he want? He doesn’t (truthfully) care about any particular issues that he would want the nominee to pursue; he doesn’t want to collect debts that he can cash in during future political races. I believe he legitimately thinks that he should be the nominee, and if the Republican Party doesn’t…

The Tesla’s range is well within suited to the normal driving habits of Americans. According to a 2009 NHTS study, the average person travels 36.13 miles per day.

But he lives in New Jersey, so his life’s not all perfect.

Debris arriving at Reunion now is completely consistent with a crash of the SW coast of Australia. An airliner hitting the water at high speed produces millions of pieces of debris, so a few pieces staying close together (assuming the other reports of debris are accurate) isn’t unusual at all. Considering the speed…

How does any of this disprove the Inmarsat data?

It conclusively proves the plane went down in the SE Indian Ocean; the damage will indicate to some extent the exact nature of the crash; a study of ocean currents may narrow the search area; it alerts people in Reunion, Madagascar, and SE Australia and SW New Zealand to look out for further debris washing ashore.

You go to war with the presumptions you have, not the presumptions you want.

Flip Connery/Craig and I’d agree. Lazenby couldn’t act his way out of a paper bag, but he had the good sense to just do a Connery impression instead. Moore was still playing The Saint.

Zero countries have gained nuclear weapons capabilities since Obama has been in office, which is better than the last two Presidents could manage.
