“NASA has always built rockets vertically”

Based on the severity of the fire it’s likely she’d need a new wing and a new engine. It’s doable, but for a nine year old aircraft probably not financially viable.

SSRI’s

He doesn’t own any of those hotels or golf courses. For a ‘real estate developer’ he hasn’t really built anything. All he does is license the use of his name and collect royalties. He’s not a developer, he’s a marketer.

But it’s 2015, there’s little to no need to physically go to a bank. You can sign up online and deposit checks through mobile apps with real non-fly-by-night banks.

I think the bigger danger was that the pilot was eyeballing the vertical separation from the helicopter, and forgot how tall his tail was.

You mixed up the first US and the first Soviet spacewalk. The first spacewalk, achieved by Alexey Leonov, was done through an airlock and it was his suit that ballooned up and nearly didn’t get back inside.
