Well, shit.  

By the wake, it looked the engines were in full reverse - it took a while to spin up of course, and... well, they were just a BIT too close... 

Me and math parted ways after algebra, lol... Thanks for the analysis, and doing the math so others don’t have to...

Heh. You could wish. Too damn many of them just go “Oh, it SOUNDS like it’d be a good idea to (insert crappy idea here) so let’s force it on people!”

Yeah, that was something else entirely, though.  http://www.radiationworks.com/photos/sl1reactor7.htm

Again, a FUD article which was really worthless when it came to figuring out what was going on. Nothing I’ve seen indicated it was an actual hazard - it was just rock samples in a bucket. Uranium ore, which was naturally found in a lot of places in that area.

Mice do die of other things than radiation...  Like starvation, thirst, parasites...

I’d worry more about lethal STDs, myself.

For those interested: “What is the half life of lutetium 177? 6.65 days”

Oh, hell yeah. Son’s driving a 2002 Honda CRV that has almost 200k on it, DESPITE what he’s done to it. The strut replacement didn’t go as easily as it looked on Youtube.

Yup. There’s a lot of idiots who look at celebs and go “If they’re doing it, so should I.”

Having tried the original Hololens - it’s great stuff. VERY interesting, with a lot of potential.

People will often follow what the celebrities endorse. Jenny McCarthy, for example, is quite anti-vax, blaming vaccinations for her son’s autism.

Preach it, man. Their idiocy will have repercussions for their kids.

Way past time. Putting it all on the SLS, which had little to no real priority in the NASA hierarchy (NASA - 2011 - “They’re paying us HOW much to develop a system, with no real timeline for when it must be done? How long can we milk this before we’ve got to actually produce a flight-worthy craft? Can we slip it to 202…
