and earlier in the season (several times) he either did or didn’t throw a red flag at Mercedes insistence.

hamilton fanboy much?

He made a _huge_ mistake leaving RB.

they built cars tuned for his driving style (which happened to be about the same as Max’s), they loved him and wanted to pay him lots of money. yes, he and Max didn’t get along, but he still would have had a shot at wins.

you are not wrong.  Oklahoma (at least its governor) sucks too.

you know why the wind blows so hard in Oklahoma?  because Texas sucks.

so, this sounds like instrument conditions, why was it not flying to the ILS (which lands you 1000 feet past the runway threshold)? why the F would you use atmospheric altimeter as primary when you have a radar altimeter and ILS (and GPS) to put you on the no bullshit glidepath?

if New Glenn ever flies, I will drink a can of Keystone Ice to atone for my lack of faith.

explain why SpaceX’s tourist flights would be any different from their commercial ones? oh right they wouldn’t. but gotta bash Elon, don’t we? same rocket (falcon 9) same kerosene and LOX engine used for military and commercial launches. same facility even

are we going to get a second season of Clarkson’s Farm?

USAF statistics historically show a huge spike in mishaps at around 500 hours of flight time, i.e. just when they start to think they really know what they are doing.

The US has all the rare earths we need and then some. the baseline costs of operating a mine (environmental & labor laws, labor costs etc) in the US make it economically uncompetitive with Chinese rare earths that were sold below cost for many years in order to establish market control.

they sat him down. they discussed his behavior. they fired him as their backup driver (which is huge for his career and costs him track time in an F1 car on a race weekend). they removed all sponsorship from his car.

he publicly apologized.

when his entire life revolves around being an F1 driver? yeah.

perhaps they thought it might not have been entirely right to destroy a kid’s life over being ignorant? he’s what, 18?

educate him, see if he understands why what he did was wrong, give him a chance to change.

not sure why you are putting Oracle in this? Oracle sponsors red bull’s F1 car, which Vips is no longer associated with.

looking at the lede photo - someone needs to smack some sense into the people designing grills for GM (and several other companies, but especially GM)

and the last manned moon mission was 1972, crewed by astronauts who already had their corvettes. a return to the moon will get significant viewership.

what I am saying is that NASA, instead of doing the default government “We’ll pay you stupid money for 3 cars” bullshit they should have had half a brain and first…

easy math: how much are you paying on an annual basis for maintenance other than routine (breaks, tires, oil changes etc)?  unless your car is costing you more than the car loan on the prospective replacement, keep it.

the people who are the market for these vans are exactly the people who still get excited about space travel. and people are bored precisely because NASA goes out of their way to make it boring.

do you have any idea how many people tune in for the livestreams of SpaceX’s starship tests, crew dragon launches etc? check…

why do you cover this shit? you are contributing to the downfall of humanity every time you give these shit shows coverage.
