Even so, it seem like a legitimate issue if there’s a difference between what the math should be and what the (attempt) at math produced. If the person entered 15 on the total line, even if the math didn’t add up to that, it’s not unreasonable to demand they be charged 15.

While the very low numbers of both aircraft produced and flight hours make statistics mostly meaningless, the crash wasn’t a fluke. Concorde was extremely vulnerable to both FOD and tire failure (location+design of fuel tanks, very high takeoff speeds), and nearly had several identical accidents before. I can’t think…

Once an uncontained engine failure led to decompression, and a passenger was sucked out a window a la Goldfinger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_…

Out of 1,320, yes.

Considering it was a rejected takeoff, this looks like overheated brakes leading to tires exploding (maybe with some ruptured hydraulic lines feeding the fire)

Exactly. Compare stunts on both sides of the Dalton era: the car flip from The Man With The Golden Gun and the ski jump from The Spy Who Loved Me, with that atrocious para-surfing scene and invisible car from Die Another Day.

Eat your heart out Tom Cruise

22 years is accurate since Moore was playing Bond exactly the same as he played The Saint.

I had heard that they were going to replace Moore with Sam Neill before Octopussy, but the deal never went through.

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.

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?

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.
