Armadillo Aero One Step Closer To Space
RobertB-DC writes "The folks at Armadillo Aerospace have taken another step toward the X-Prize, dropping their re-entry vehicle from 2000 feet with no major problems noted. As usual, the Armadillo crew documented the event with text, pictures and video, and the story is also covered by Space.com (though without as many cool technical details). It's a bumpy ride, though -- instruments recorded some 10 G's on touchdown."
You fail it! Your skill is not enough! See you next time! Bye-bye!
In Soviet Russia, Beowulf clusters YOU, you insensitive clod!
b-money
Are they using open-source applications on their project?
Ten Gs? That's an insane amount, enough to kill any human, that's for sure.
I still think the X-Prize starlights belongs to Scaled Composities and their White Knight/SpaceShipOne
Excuse me, I don't mean to impose, but I am the ocean
like on Austin Powers, where they see the Big Boy on the radar?
Commander, there seems to be a... armadillo... across the scanner. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would not have sex with Archie Bunker. I mean, come on. His dick is so supple it that I just can't help but fuck it with my cold, sweaty palms. It makes me feel like I'm working for the Vatican again! When it gets right down to it, props to all the slashdot trolls you're my homies my nizzles. Archie Bunker troll ownz you penisbird fewls!
Following my work researching The Linux Gay Conspiracy, I am saddened to announced that I have discovered yet another orgy of perverted hetrophobic values. My claim lies with the Slashdot mangement.
First, what kind of name is Slashdot? This is obviously a code word in the homosexual community for something perverted.
Slashdot is an anagram of LAD SHOTS, which refers to Slashdot's pedophile agenda and T ASS HOLD, which refers to some gay sexual posistion that Michael and CmdrTaco enjoy.
The 'editors' of Slashdot, as they call themselves, are homosexual swingers with cleverly disguised nicknames.
CmdrTaco is the "head" honcho of Slashdot. Cmdr obviously refers to his desire to dominate over his gay partners, and Taco is obviously a sly reference to his colon.
Michael Sims, who goes as 'michael' on Slashdot, is a well known thug and advancer of homosexual agenda. His name is an anagram of ASS CHIME MIL which obviously refers to his desire to flaunt his lower organ.
Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day is Slashdot's Mac propagandist. Macintosh computers are well known as the Gay computer due to their homosexual colors and stylings. An email exchange between 'Pudge' and Apple HQ have been leaked by a former Apple employee who converted to hetrosexuality. These two emails (here and here) have been repeatedly posted on Slashdot, but are quickly censored by Slashdot moderators who do not want the public to know about its agenda.
Simoniker, a recent addition to Slashdot has been uncovered as Mr. Goatse himself. Simoniker is a frequent poster to the Games section of Slashdot, obviously because he enjoies modded versions of Quake 3 and UT2K3 as a homosexual warrior who likes to 'overcome' his opponents with his exagerated sized love member. In addition, Simoniker is an anagram of KEN I RIM SO (Ken is probably his current boyfriend) and MEN I IRK SO (which refers to his frustratingly troubled gay relationships, probably due to his rather large asshole).
This is only a rough draft and perliminary report. Please reply with additional information, contributions, and corrections. I will include any additional information and credit you with it in my further releases of this report.
