They have been using grid fins for quite a while.

With autopilot.

What I still don’t understand is why this $35,000 car can’t have all the features, performance, and luxury of a $100,000 car. It’s just ridiculous.

My buddy had a message from someone who a few years ago found his missing wallet and passport. You know, nothing too important.

I found nothing in mine except a long list of students who think Facebook Messenger is an appropriate medium for contacting their professor when they’ve missed class.

Sorry but the Battle of Endor (in RotJ) took place in 4 ABY, so at the very least, TFA took place 34 years after the climax of A New Hope. Assume those plans for the first Death Star were stolen not long before the Battle of Yavin, and you get 34-35 years for Rogue One.

Fascinated that Gawker found the Ghostbusters trailer to be amazing, while are indifferent to this one. This looks fantastic and I’m honestly more excited for this than I was for The Force Awakens.

20 weeks is 140 days. Boy they are really attached to that number!

If you are not happy with another motorists behaviors, use the horn and your middle finger as much as you want, but then let it go.

I’m trying to put myself in the rider’s shoes. Look at how as soon as the bike gave the car the smallest room, the car either went up beside him (one wrong move and you’re dead) or swerved in front of him and lambasted his ABS (dead as well). If that was me, I wouldn’t assume he’s not going to rear end me, and keep…

They have got to give it a grill. I Know it’s pointless but they have got too.

It is going to take some time to get used to these big grill-less fronts. The car does look naked as is.

Remove driver, add computers, and it’s perfect. Theoretically.

Corrected this for you.

“I found a major flaw in your security that could allow for malicious games to be thrown on steam with no oversight. Not only that, But you ignored my attempts to contact you about it. So I exploited the flaw in a completely safe manner to get your attention. Brought the flaw to your attention…

What’s funny is the common inlet/exhaust w/ a ramjet/scramjet is something I used on a design back in high school for the NASA Junior Aerospace Scholars Program.

I don’t have the description for it all still written down, but I do remember this being a multiple mode setup to allow it to be a LEO spacecraft where it…

I’d like to see it done, just because it’s there. The X-15 STILL holds records that have lasted since the 60's, we should break them, because we can. We should ALWAYS be striving to push the envelope. As for practical uses for a hypersonic aircraft, I’ll freely admit they are marginal, but they could also be a…

Easy, Turbo Encabulator

My favorite part of that whole disaster was something along the lines of somebody asking:
