It’s a lawsuit, so the whole point is to find fault. Welcome to the wonderful world of comparative negligence!

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.

Wait till the target passes overhead, launch into the same inclination behind it but in a lower orbit. Circularize. Wait to catch up, then use a maneuver node to transfer to the target orbit (move it around until it shows two intercept points). Circularize. Push you retrograde market so that it’s lined up with the…

Docking is like riding a bike. Once you figure it out (i.e. watch enough Scott Manley videos), it actually becomes really easy.

The only type of vehicle capable of handling interplanetary reentry speeds are capsules. If the Space Shuttle taught us anything, it’s that shuttles are a massive waste of money and complete overkill for getting things into low earth orbit.

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…

Then you’re talking about criminal conduct, not speech. And Holmes was talking about radical pamphleteers, which is maybe not so different.

“I did in high school with the health teacher.” Now that’s comprehensive sex education.

And he probably never said that. It’s a nice thought, though.

It pisses me off when people misquote Holmes. He was talking about “falsely shouting fire.” Alerting people that there is actually a fire in a theater isn’t lawless. (And that quote is dicta, and it’s all pre-Brandenburg anyway)

To be technical the fire would have been easier to fight - with the airflow over the plane it would have been more contained and the nacelle fire extinguishers could kill it. The danger in the air is the other damage: decompression, cuts to electrical and hydraulic lines, etc.

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)

The business problem with selling appliances is that people only buy new ones when their old ones break. That produces a steady income stream, but not the growing stream that investors expect. So companies start adding random crap to the machines (steam in dryers, wi-fi in refrigerators, curved TVs, etc) to convince…

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.
