For some reason, people use my driveway to turn around in all the time. Why I don’t know. There’s nothing special about it, it’s no wider than the neighbors driveways. Maybe it’s because I don’t park in street in front of my house? Or the cars are garaged so the driveway is empty? Who knows.

Soooooo... until we solve ALL the other problems, we can’t address this problem, correct?

OK, so let’s address some of the problems in Chicago. Like, for example, Indiana being a short 45 minute drive away. Many people don’t know that while Chicago has extremely strict gun laws, Indiana doesn’t. At all. (Indiana also…

I used to work with a guy who lived in the backwoods of Wisconsin - like seriously isolated, 2+ hours drive to get Starbucks kind of area in central Wisconsin.

the jalopnik radical agenda of ... let me check my notes ... “maybe pulling into the wrong driveway isn’t something you should be shot for”?

“Monahan had gotten increasingly frustrated that people were mistakenly turning into his driveway.”

Only a good guy with a gun can stop a... lost or confused person?

If your first thought when someone rings your doorbell or pulls into your driveway is to pull out your loaded weapon of choice. Turn off Fox News, OAN or Newsmax

Hardly the “same results” - N1 exploded on the pad and killed a bunch of people. This test’s stated primary goal was “clear the launch pad.” Goal achieved.

So.... trollllll, or just delusional?

I’m just in awe at your ignorance. Simply lost for words. I honestly can’t believe you think that some of the smartest people in the world wouldn’t have studied older designs. You think it’s just a bunch of tik tokers sitting around making memes? 

Damn, well good thing you pointed this out. I’m sure none of the thousands of people working on this have come this conclusion as well.

It’s a very different design from the N-1. The N-1's fatal flaw was the fact that they were unable to perform all-up test firings of the first stage on the ground. Literally the only time they ever lit the entire stage was during the four test flights, meaning they had to use the most expensive possible method for…

At the risk of being mind-numbingly unimaginative, I have to think that the right answer is the newest / fewest km Honda Fit you can find.  With winter tires ours is a trooper in the snow.  It gets phenomenal fuel economy.  It’s got the best size : space ratio of any car I’ve owned.  And it’s as reliable as hell.

Yes I’m sure the thousands of scientists working on designing this rocket didn’t study the N1 in any shape or form. You’re far superior in terms of intelligence. 

I think a lot of it is culture. Space X REALLY embraces their failures. And they BUILD and test, not just design and simulate (and build and test and redesign).

Look at how many early booster flights and recoveries went bad and they kept on making the improvements. There is a great video somewhere that Space X…

who would have guessed that “move fast and break things” would be of more consequence in a social media than in space travel

Yet not nearly as much of a failing falling fireball as Twitter.... so success?

The Fourth Amendment does not include the language “Except, of course, if some people, somewhere, lie sometimes.”

When he got to the dealership and got out of his vehicle, Sigg’s lawyer says he was surrounded by officers and their vehicles.

Fuck the Police.
