I don't want to be cruel in hatin' on these announcers, but with 2 guys, there are 2 roles: one is supposed to do play-by-play (describe the action as it occurs) and the other guy is supposed to provide analysis, a.k.a. "color commentary". If they had known about these roles, their audio might ha...

How did you get it to land so close to the launch point? With an altitude of nearly 37 kilometers, I'd expect it to land in another state.

Question: at what point, after graduating from Estes kits and designing bigger units, does the rocket need an actively self-adjusting guidance system to keep it flying vertically?

@DarwinsFriend Well yeah that it did occur to me later that I hadn't set the bar very high.

@Yankeeprepperasshat They mention the parachute a couple of times. Later he also says, "The main didn't even come out, just the pilot." He means the main chute and the pilot chute.

@Trashfished >> Descent hardworking folk dont have time for this nonsense. << So I guess you would classify our nation's veterans, who have an unemployment level about twice the average of non-veterans, as not being decent, hard-working folk?

@Rhoky exactly right, Hedges hates Sam Harris because Sam is fanatically anti-Muslim, but that's no excuse for distorting what one's enemies say.

Holy crap, I consider myself a very intelligent and well-informed American but I couldn't have have been half as articulate as this great guy. By the way, the interviewer claims here's your chance to get your message out, but Fox never aired this interview, of course.

@300musicmaster I never said it's part of an opera here on earth, just that it's part of an opera on Klingon.

@corksterism oh too cool... an idiot who believes the link to acorn, an organisation which doesn't even exist anymore. Please, please, please respond to my comment because I LOVE hearing right-wing delusion, it's rich.

@ToonFightFan I agree Hitchens and Harris certainly serve the purposes of the M-I-C and corporate America well, since they're both vehemently anti-Islamic, to a nearly fanatical degree. Beyond those two, although this is a bit off topic (but you brought it up), let me say Western authorities and ...

Our chief weapon is surprise...surprise and fear...fear and surprise.... Our two weapons are fear and surprise...and ruthless efficiency.... Our *three* weapons are fear, surprise, and ruthless efficiency...and an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope...

@MegaDwell Correct, the Buddha knew nothing about life after death (which I believe he honestly admitted). Nor do you know anything about life after death, nor do I, nor did Jesus (if he ever existed), nor does anyone else!! To think otherwise is to live in delusion, to live a lie.

These guys seem to think cults are about as threatening as chewing gum. Cults have ruined thousands of lives, even just recently, so why don't they talk about that? Has anyone committed suicide because of Britney Spears? What a farce, the interviewer did a poor job. This is a harmful and misleadi...

I'm speechless. It's all here. The whole universe.

@kyral210 Correct. Sounds like a good temple.

It should have a lump on its back for the protective brain-case.

@KCLion Maybe you're right, it's an exaggeration to call The Shining "unrecognizable", although Steven King did dislike it. But remember the book 2001 didn't exist before Kubrick's involvement, it was a collaboration, so naturally it matched the film pretty well. In fact, the contract required Ku...

Excellent, very sweet. One minor thing -- the suspension bridge curves upwards in the middle like the ones on earth do, but I tend to think the ones of Rama would curve downwards to match the cylinder curve (unless the bridge is in parallel with the cylinder wall).

@tomitstube >>>i like hitchens and harris, but their hawkish attitudes with war is really puzzling<<< Absolutely, I have the same problem exactly [with them I mean].

well that's the first time I've ever heard the new atheists called anti-intellectual. Guys like Hitchens and Harris can quote scripture, including the Koran, better than all but the most studious ministers and Muslims.
