On the PBS documentary Chasing the Moon, one of the Apollo 8 crew (Lovell maybe? I can’t remember) said that he tried it out and resolved that he would go the whole flight without using it. He apparently succeeded.

Sorry the National Guard thing was meant to be something like, do you send a thousand guys with M-16s or do you actually send in armor/planes/etc. It was about the optics of use of force against a mass non-violent mob.
In all seriousness, let’s say 1M+ people actually do show up and for the sake of this thought exercise, let’s say they show up unarmed with only their sheer numbers as their ‘weapon’.
Just as a point of information, the F-1 is the name of the singular rocket engine. There are 5 of them comprising the Saturn V first stage. The second stage is five J-2 engines and the third stage is a single J-2 engine.
I always tend to view it through the lens of the incredible pace. If we consider Goddard’s test as the first flight of a liquid propellant rocket, that was 1926. It went 41 feet into the air in 2.5 seconds. Just over 40 years later we would send one a quarter million miles into space. Even more conventional prop/jet he…

I assume you’re talking about the ZL-1s and not the LS1?

Big ‘tough’ outside, cushy well appointed interior. I don’t begrudge anyone for buying whatever they want, but in my experience (not really a truck guy in any sense of the word) the people that I would rather talk to about their truck are not the guys with a brand new King Ranch but the farmer with 300k+ miles on his…
My gods that is hideous. Neither cute nor tough.
You got it, 92 was new bodystyle but no decklid spoiler. 93 got the spoiler and also added an automatic transmission option. My opinion 93 is when they transitioned it from sleeper-ish sport sedan to obvious high power option for highway cruising.
You say with no sense of irony despite unions and the UAW waging a similar information war.
Air Force Once?
Pure? Maybe before the mainstream blog blogmedia covered it. Used to be a time that replacing the stock fasteners with aluminum (only need to last one race) and pulling the seat padding out of a $50 steel bodied basic model from Staples could put you in the top 10.
Zed-28?
C’mon Henry, it’s 4 in the fucking morning, can’t it wait?
My gods do people struggle with Final Jeopardy wagering. I saw one recap that said his Final wager was “uncharacteristically low” as if he bet low from the lead and lost by getting overtaken
