Yeah, we have our fair share of crappy pop stars as well here in the US. Miley. You do have to respect the fact that they brought us James T Kirk and TJ Hooker in the form of one man! Chris Hadfield is also Canadian and he has done more for the US space program than just about anybody since Neil. Heck, the put an…

Really, all you need to say is Battlestar and X-Files and you have pretty much won the war here on Giz.

I went through Tel Aviv last summer on business. They seemed pretty damn thorough. They didn't have the millimeter wave scanners, but the young lady who questioned me before I even got to the ticket counter asked a lot of really good questions. I had the vibe that she would have known if I had gotten a detail wrong…

The same thing ultimately happened to the US first stage nozzles back when we used disposable boosters. They are left for wealthy Internet tycoons to find. Here are Apollo 11's F-1 engine bells.

Scaled Composites is doing the design and build work. Based out of Mojave and definitely a US company.

FIA WEC 6 Hours if Bahrain is on now live.

When I became a manager in my origination I was told that one of my tasks would be frying turkeys for our annual holiday lunch. Last year I had 4 fryers going at one time. In 5 years I haven't had a mishap. Now, I read directions and flow them so that might help. I inject the thawed birds with a Cajun mix the night…

I had to plumb the depths if the internet. Found a PDF. Seriously, I would have paid for a copy, but had the same problem as you.

Finished reading Sled Driver last night.

He goes to Vegas 4/5 times a year and is suprisingly good at craps. He is also retired, has a pension from two states as a teacher and has a wife who is a reasonably well compensated retail exec. He's got the dough to play for a little while. I, do not!

Yeah, we want to do Spa as well, but we are tying this in with a dream trip for my father in law. He wants to play craps in the casino in Monaco. Naturally, one would think that we should go over the Grand Prix, but the likelyhood of us even getting in the door while the race is on is slim to none. Hence Monza. Still…

Anyone get shots of him honing the Cobra? Word form the NBC crew was he asked to drive and not just ride.

That sounds like a winner. We will probably be there next year. Also looking at Monza.

We went last year and the best part of the event, at the track anyway, was making friends with the guys from Mexico City sitting in front of us. They had a Camelback full of whiskey. We had Cokes. We all shared. We sat there for two hours after the race to let traffic clear out and talked F-1, politics, aviation and…

It will be interesting to see if Bottas can hang for the duration of the race. Are Williams' pit stops up to snuff? We will find out soon.

I think Heikki finishing anywhere in the top 5 will be a huge story. I'd love to see Grosjean on the podium. Bet you a donut Massa is wrecked out early in the race from his 15th starting position.

Some additional notes not already mentioned.

Good segment. The talk with the Tilke guy was very interesting.

You mean "If I don't see it..."

I was lucky enough to visit the MST3K production facility outside of Minneapolis back in the day. The oddball junk they had glued to their walls on the main set was awesome.
