@marmaladekamikaze Its called "Falcon Heavy" (no 9 in the name) and its simply 3 Falcon 9's put together. SaturnV could only afford to lose the middle of its 5 main engines or it would be a catastrophic failure. If Shuttle lost an SRB it would get ripped a part. If Shuttle lost one main engine...

Gain is my absolute favorite dish soap. It seems like its more than twice the concentration than the cheap stuff like Dawn, Sun, and Joy. Its smells so good. I even use it to shower with.

@JustinBurns Spot price is over $57 for 1 gram of gold. After commission expect to pay around $85.

Its hard to dogfight when you constantly have birds in the way. If you get a bird injected in an engine, you could stall.

@freesk8 Right on! Let SpaceX, Orbital, Armadillo Aerospace, etc.. make our vehicles. Let them compete. We don't need special new rockets to go to the moon, we can assemble a moon system in LEO then go where we want. ISS was created in small launches vs one big launch like Skylab. We can do ...

It was a failed state separation. The engines worked well. Most new rockets have to work out minor bugs. The new Antares should be a great Orbital system! The future belongs to private space companies!

Keep up the good work Orbital! The future belongs to private companies like you!! Never quit.

@treesnap1 They are a lot closer than NASA. Dragon is the only capsule ever created that can return from Mars. Its heat shield can withstand 55k re-entry (the speed you would be going coming back from Mars). Shuttle could only return at 17K and the Saturn command service module 27K. Falcon He...

Thumbs DOWN for lack of innovation using old school solid rocket fuel. Even know computers, software, and manufacturing have advanced in the last 40 years. Actual Rocket engine hardware has actually gone "backwards" since the 60's. ESA now has Soyuz, which is a graceful, elegant, machine whic...

@beautynachelle I agree the N word should never be used. However, I also agree the N word should not be used by African Americans either because its degrading.

@Beergut222 I am thankful to president Bush (who was the one that ordered an end to Shuttle). Now we can start having actual space achievement.

By the end of STS3 it was clear that Shuttle was not going to remotely come close in its wildest dreams of costing $50 million p/launch as promised by NASA to the American public. It was shame on you and me, the American public for allowing it to continue so long. It held back the US in space s...

Considering that Shuttle used SRB's (which don't turn off), had no escape system, and required so much to go right on both launch and landing... its absolutely amazing we only lost 2 Shuttles.

The SRB's make shuttle look very crude, like a old car running on bad gas. I was really surprised that they decided to use Solid Rocket fuel which technologically is older and less advanced than its liquid counterpart. We need a vehicle like Soyuz which is very graceful, more advanced, reliable...

@XxDQxX24 I am thankful to President Bush for ordering the end of Shuttle! 15 years overdue. Now we can start real space achievement.

@twistedyogert That is a good question. I believe because Lockheed has enjoyed a virtual space duopoly (with Thiokol Corp) and they have a huge lobby machine in the senate. Paying senators to act for your company interests is legal in the United States. Lockheed wants it all to be "their stuff...

Shuttle SRB's proved to be a disaster for humans flight. They are very crude (they look like an old car running on bad gas), never proved to be cost effective (ended costing as much than promised added major launch facility expense), and unpredictable (since 1985 considering almost all big rocke...

I like how spaceX is building a similar system but building it into the capsule. No need for a dome cover.

If Lockheed needs help, they should call SpaceX. Their Dragon capsule lands perfectly in water and has been tested from space. The Dragon also holds 7 people (not just 3 like Orion) and its better suited for deep space because it has better heat shield. Also, Dragons parachute system works and h...

Another dumb-ed down rocket that uses Estes solid rocket engines (like SLS, AresI, Shuttle, and Ariane). I am glad we still have real rocket scientists somewhere that make liquid fueled rockets with real rocket engines (Falcon9, Soyuz, some Atlas, some Delta). We will never have advances with sol...

@aledelverne It was not me that said it, but Shuttle did fail to meet what was promised. It was promised to cost $50 million p/launch. By the 3rd launch it was clear that it was not going to come close. So shame on me and all US citizens for allowing Shuttle to continue so long. The final cos...

It looks like Chrome. Is that the default browser?

Questions for you please. Have you ever put a movie on an SD card and tried to play it? Is the browser a full browser (not just the a mobile browser)?

Its a shame we chose the Lockheed aircraft. Just like we chose the F-22 semi stealth airplane over the fully stealth F-23 Black Widow II.

This aircraft was perfectly weight balanced. It had a much better visibility that the Lockheed submission, a better cockpit design, used the same model for both vertical and normal take offs. Lockheed had 2 different airplanes. It also could hold more fuel and more internal payload. Lockheed d...

Lockheed got greedy and wanted to build every part of the SLS. They should have stuck with a heavy lift system like AresV. However, they spent so much time and money on Orion, it help back the entire program.  We currently have a much better (esp for deep space) system with Dragon by SpaceX, i...

@Hodson2000 We have something much better than Soyuz, not with Orion and the Senate launch system, but with Spacex Dragon.

Nice, like the NTR gold triangle.

The US flag on the wall is backwards. When hanging the flag vertical, the union jack (the blue part) always goes to the left. Its proper US flag etiquette.

Iran is the new 1937 Germany.

Shuttle should have ended after 3 launches after it was realized how unpractical and dangerous it actually was. Re-usability had already been proven. It was promised to cost 50 million a flight and it ended up costing an unbelievable 1.5 Billion p/flight was a huge waist of recourse's. It was als...

@blablubb12345 Boeing has back up systems. Airbus relies totally on fly-by-wire, Boeing allows pilots to go into other modes. Boeing aircraft gave complete control to the pilot, as opposed to Airbus aircraft, which are almost completely controlled by computer. Fly-by-wire means you don't have ...

People get mugged enough at ATM's, I can't image what would happen to people at a gold dispenser. I would have to take a friend just to stand guard with a gun while I made a gold purchase.
