Missed this yesterday, but I'd nominate Washington's RFK stadium concourse. Pretty wide with ramps up and down. Having been to many Nationals games there, I often fantasized about ripping around these things in an old Mini or Ariel Atom or something. And the sound would be phenomenal.
This. Watch a full motion flight simulator move around and its motion doesn't reflect what's going on with the attitude of the aircraft, just simulating the g-forces. Braking hard feels the same as falling forward, therefore... However, without the peripheral vision being masked, I'm not sure how well this rig's…
Correct. Exactly what my reply would have expressed. Because, as we all know, a short line between to straight points is a... The shortest distance is a line with one point and... One line was standing between two points straight up and... Oh, you know what I mean.
This is one of those "duh, why didn't we think of that" moments after which you'll see most or all other manufacturers offer the same or a similar feature. Well done by Falcon.

I'm going to this launch as part of a NASA Social Media thing. Down there for two days, getting tours, talking to the folks involved, and close-up seats for the launch. (Hope it goes on time!) If you're on the east coast anywhere from NJ to NC, you should be able to see the launch on next Friday night (Sept 6) at…

And, of the three, Wallops is really the only one that can do non-polar orbit launches. So, while it is a relatively cheap mission ($280…

I'm kind of with you, but no. I'm 43, two kids, SUV. Had a "always wanted one mid-life semi-crisis" and went from a '93 Wrangler to a 2012 WRX 5-door. Like bigdog says, you can pull it off.
Hairy, amirite?
Now playing
U-2 on a carrier. No, not the band that still hasn't found what it's looking for, but the spy plane that's usually chased down the runway by something with a V-8 but in this footage it's a guy with paddles. At least it gets up in the air right quick. Elevator going up!
Yes! Yes! Planeopnik, please!
At the scrapyard, got a cast iron bathtub out of an F250 by myself in a similar fashion. Nice loud crash, close but not on the pile, checkout guy was cracking up. Good times. Good times.
