Yeah, the entire award process was a sham to ensure Boeing won the contract.

At the very least, the US isn’t going to get help from Europe. It would pretty much be the US, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE versus Iran and whoever else they bring in.

You are trying to look at this rationally.  You need to look at it irrationally; the people in this administration have wanted an excuse to get rid of Iran for a *very* long time, and will be more then happy to use this as justification.  And Trump would go along with it for a chance for an easy PR win.

I don’t see one reasonable argument against the new design; the author is just action irrationally based on emotion.

The problem is that problem reporting and maintenance always gets last consideration by program managers, and it never gets addressed until someone gets to a guy with at least a few stars on his shoulder and has him raise a stink about it.

“Is it to late to restart the F-16 and Super Hornet production lines?”

Huh, that story sounds awfully familiar...

My advice: Find a shop you trust. Easy way to do so too: If they start finding lots of little things that need fixing, then they aren’t trustworthy.

I have a simple solution for this problem: Stop producing the 737MAX and re-start 757 production now that airlines know what to do with it.

Typically, “I can’t say” for something like this is about as close as you are going to get to a confirmation.  Seriously, not even “The Legend of Zelda has traditionally been a single-player series”?  Yeah, that’s a confirmation.

The fuel thing is a myth. From what I recall from Deke’s autobiography, there were other technical reasons why the Apollo 10 LM couldn’t land (I forget what offhand though).

Technically, the habitable area of the LM was on top of the ascent stage. Much like the Service Module, the crew couldn’t physically enter the descent stage of the LM.

This isn’t surprising whatsoever. I’m a Software Engineer by trade, but one who also works with Radar/Lidar systems, and am very well aware of all the problems self-driving cars are going to have.

Uhh no.

I think the better question should be:

First off, there’s a significant functional difference between what Marxism and Lenninism. The fact you equate the two by itself shows that you lack knowledge on the subject and can be ignored.

I’ve *still* not embraced WASD. I *still* use the arrow keys.

Not shocking; Uber is heavily subsidizing costs in order to gain share (and frankly, run competitors out of the market).  The plan is basically to become a ridesharing monopoly.

1st Gear: This is how Trump thinks; if he makes the situation of his opponents bad enough, they will be forced to do what he wants. What he fails to grasp is there are other factors at play that preclude this from occurring.

Its worse then that: Democrats are Electoral College dogs, and will continue to be so until Florida becomes a reliably Democratic state.
