The camera moves. So why not pan to the right? Information overload?

[TigerGrumman]

This is not techno-babble. This is the real world. The "babble" can be found on your television amid the 500+ channels that has become the vast wasteland of useless material designed to pickle your brain and pump you full of equally useless products and services.

This is applied science and applied technology. This is where the rubber meets the road. This is where things actually get done in our world and history is made for all the right reasons. This is how progress is made manifest.

@TigerGrumman Good god will you shut the fuck up? Progress is nothing new and those who seek it are nothing special. It just is. The space program is not amazing. It's just status quo. Big deal.

[TigerGrumman]

@mynamearekid:

Could be more confused than you are right now - not to mention more disrespectful? Your lack of prose is more telling than you know, apparently. Status quo, is precisely what NASA accomplished with the STS program, so I don't need a lecture on the terminology. No big deal, is exactly what NASA intended for its multi-mission STS platform when the idea was put before Congress for funding. However, you are dead wrong with proclaiming the Space Program to be short of amazing.

[TigerGrumman]

@mynamearekid:

Furthermore, to define "progress" as "nothing new" is to completely misunderstand what the word "progress" means. By definition, progress is the epitome of "newness." Progress represents the next forward looking step in an ongoing process where optimization of benefit is the goal. If it is not new, then it cannot possibly be progressive - by logical extension.

Check the left side of your brain before responding again. You made need to run a load-balancing algorithm first.

[mynamearekid]

@TigerGrumman WOW you cant read. Let me rephrase so your simple mind can grasp it. The fact that progress exists and happens constantly is nothing new. You might want to realize how very slow and useless you are before taking a few semesters of community college and then proclaiming yourself a genius.

[TigerGrumman]

@mynamearekid:

Progress is nothing new? That's your entire contribution to this thread? To raise a total nonsequitur red herring, and pretend as though you've actually said something of value - that's your goal here?

When you get to the point where you want to talk aerodynamics, structures, flight control systems and propulsion systems, be sure to return to this thread, so we can talk about the future of aerospace and aviation.

Until then, keep prose at least useful, here.

[TigerGrumman]

@mynamearekid:

By the way - just to clarify the academic air (since you brought it up). I'm a graduated Berkeley and MIT, with degrees in Physics and Mathematics.

USAF/TPS

8,300+ PIC (90% turbine)

17 combat sorties flown

Owner of two aircraft

Just to clarify your comments in error. I never attended a Junior College, though many have and gone on to various level of professional and career success. In fact, I flew with more than one former JC graduate in less than hospitable environments.

@TigerGrumman zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzz

[TigerGrumman]

@mynamearekid:

Exactly what I would expect from the non-technical babbling type (such as yourself), pretending to be engaged in that which you do not understand or comprehend.

We can talk incompressible aerodynamics and the massive importance that such a subject had for the initial STS aerodynamic nomenclature, if you are up for such a discussion?

Or, we can talk about why your two years of college disallows you from having such technical discussions?

Either way, the ball is your court.

[mynamearekid]

@TigerGrumman LOL you are that guy with long hair at the bar in the movie Good Will Hunting. You're really not as smart as you think you are. It is clearly obvious because if you were you wouldn't have to try to force people to believe you that you are. PS I'm a software engineer. It's nothing new either and I certainly don't go around telling everyone about it because it boosts my ego lol. You lose. You will continue to lose. You are transparent. It must suck.

[265HITMAN265]

@TigerGrumman So what you fucking crack fuck, bitch ass nigga. I graduated from Cambridge in mathematics and mechanical engineering, while having a normal childhood, unlike you, you neek; don't see me boasting. Suck my dick and lick my sweaty balls you fucking fuggot.

[mchattie2222]

@TigerGrumman get a grip

[NIKDEL0]

how see desktop?

[mrtcn1984]

why they wouldn't let you in? Where do you live?

[medicchief1]

I love watching things like this. I've always been interested in these subjects, and i think that if a college would let me in and i had a math tutor, i would be able to understand easily.. but that'll never happen unfortunately.....

[joesfaves]

Sure beats The Discovery Channel. I'm a mechanical engineer by education, BTW.

[mantas1111000]

@joesfaves For scientific techno-babble, yes.

It's better because the techno-babble is understandible.
