Right, and the point of the exercise is to determine how much money you’d need to sink into something like that. If you were to simply modernize the BBs and make them BBGs, removing the 16" mounts and replacing them with a shit ton of VLS cells, what would you gain? You still wouldn’t have room or power to run even…

As much of a SpaceX fan as I am, I’m concerned that they’re going to be able to make 27 Merlin engines all work at the same time, every time. I know that they’ll be able to run the thing with fewer than the full complement, though that’s a LOT of engines to drive at one time, flawlessly.

You mean ‘Super-Charger Heaven”?

Came here to say this. This is my Race Red daily driver...

NJ, despite basically the entire Northeastern part of the state, and all of the crap around Philly, is a great and beautiful state. I grew up near the beach in Monmouth County, drove all over for shows throughout high school, and my dad lived in the Pine Barrens. Tons of great stuff all over the place!

Yeah, I would tend to agree with you, though I think the more common view of Indy is that the oval is the track with all the history. As much as I’m a fan of road racing, I don’t watch Indycar, and didn’t know that Indy even had a road course until I bought Forza 3. Then, I didn’t even know Indycar ran that track…

I checked out of NASCAR a long time ago, but I’m only about four hours from Charlotte, and I have friends to stay with up there. I will be at that race.

I think this poster is saying that the only thing worth doing at Indy is running the oval course.

Whenever I see stuff like this happen in movies, especially movies that I know a good amount of information about the period, the circumstances, technology, whatever, I always wonder why Hollywood doesn’t simply employ someone that’s fairly smart to just watch movies and figure out what DEFINITELY doesn’t belong.

My…

You forgot the most important part of classified data, and that’s Sensitive Compartmented Information (Top Secret/SCI). This is where intelligence data lives. This is what Hillary Clinton had on her email server, this is what Donald Trump provided to Putin. Depending on the information, it could be Sources and…

You’re right, it’s relative, but power in terms of radar supersets is conveyed in terms of the amount of power it takes to drive the radar itself. You could construe that to mean the number of discrete tracks, the range, etc.

A DDG doesn’t have enough physical power to push that much radar, even with the upgrades planned for the Flight III Burkes. The SPY-1 is said to be about 6 Megawatts, which would mean AMDR (SPY-6) would be pushing 210+ Megawatts. I think what you mean is that AMDR will be able to discriminate upwards of 30 times the…

She deploys quite frequently. They pull her out for test events and operations, then pull her back in for upgrades.

You spent 1,000 words (give or take) telling us how you replaced a simple part.

As someone living in the Charleston market, and currently sitting in North Charleston, the Post & Courier is pretty bad. Not quite Gawker levels of bad, but their journalistic standards are not far off.

If you make a TV show about it, it’s guaranteed to be better than that piece of crap show ‘Viper.’

Appropriate.

Yeah, fuck those guys.

I didn’t like ‘The Fall’ that much, but this album is freaking great. Fire, as the kids say.
