And you son has just how many aeronautical engineering degrees? This is the division, and in fact the factory, responsible for the Saturn S-IVB. These were not conceptual vaporware, they were ‘let’s start cutting test vehicle metal’ plans. The only serious roadblock to fly-to-space was (and I believe still is) vested…

Why are we still using vertical launch and recovery? When I worked at McDonnell-Douglas Missile & Space Systems in the 1960’s we had viable fly-to-orbit/return air/spacecraft on the drawing boards.

I’ve wanted one ever since I crossed the Soviet Union on the Trans-Siberian railway - 1969.

Too high? Too far forward? Bus reduction gears, problem solved.

Can someone post a picture of a naked Miata? that I can afford, and make a zmiata Atom ... Well, maybe a a Positron.

Don’tcha just love the aviation safety wiring?

Of over sixty automobiles I have owned, the Dodge K-car convertible was the WORST, period.

Build it

I don't think they are referencing the WWII Jeep. I see the Dodge W56 command car or staff car.

Hi, I'd like to get my multi-multi-multi-multi engine rating, please.

Paul Allen owns the private resort (The former Thurston compound) on Kukailimoku point in Kailue-Kona village on the west (Kona) coast of the Big Island, Hawaii. The family routinely helis back and forth from the yacht when in town. Typically they don't bother with the repositioning of the yacht from Seattle, but fly…

Hmmm, I've only ever seen one. I thunk it was a Mazda, but the logo does look like Nissan.

Because it worked so well for Mazda ...

Nice wheels? If you're a HotWheels collector,I guess. So far the only new Beetle that looked right to me had the black steelies, dog dishes and trim rings. Those wheels brought the car together and solidified the retro 'I'm driving a Bug' vibe. $36K? I'd go buy two perfectly restored originals instead.

There's a reason they're called 'stealerships'.

I would never even THINK of buying one of these pointless little cars. If you GAVE me one, I'd take a Sawzall to it and turn it into a go-cart or something.

'Gromʻ is Aussie-speak for 'Gremmie', a small-kid time surfer dude.
