Bad Testing Doomed NASA's Hypersonic X-43A
RobertB-DC writes "Space.com got hold of NASA's yet-to-be-released report on the June 2001 failure of the air-breathing X-43A hypersonic research vehicle, and it doesn't look good for 'Faster, Better, Cheaper'. The report refuses to single out any one contributing factor, but it cites ground testing 'inaccuracies' and 'misinterpretation' of wind tunnel data -- in particular, failure to retest the vehicle after additional heat protection was added. As noted in the original Slashdot article, the craft went out of control when the fins broke off just seconds into flight."

Post that in 'ebonics' and see how quickly you get modded as flamebait.
Had the testing been done with a mature and professionally written OS, like Windows, the testing would have been accurate and quick. As it shows, using Linux ended up costing the taxpayer more in the end.
I guess We are all doomed to exticntion! After reading what would follow through, this is all a simple matter of engineering. And financial support. It seems all too often they are one in the same. The technology only becomes cheap when someone else stumbles upon something more simplistic in order to reach a different goal.

You are about to give someone a piece of your mind, something which you can ill afford...
It's really quite easy. The only requirements are a six-pack. you get the bitch drunk and when she is passed out cold you pull off her panties. You then remove your underwear and stick your penis up her vagina. Then you pull it almost all the way out. Following those steps you shove it back up as far as you can. Repeat until you have a orgasm. Put said bitch out on the porch, read slashdot then go to sleep.
one time i was at the shore and i told you how there was this huge tire well this time there were people actually burning it they looked like my age i asked them if they saw the other tire and they said they hadnt so i told them about it and they thought it was cool so they were burning this tire and it was cool because it was huge it was to huge about as tall as me and it was night time so the fire was really impressive i asked them what else they were using to make it burn and they told me they dumped lots of gasoline on it then they asked me to point out the other tire so i showed a couple of them one guys name was steve i showed steve and his buddy the other tire and it was really smelly they werent sure if it was such a good idea to burn this one and we went back and everyone else really wanted to burn it too and have two fires going at once so a few more of us went over to the other tire and just when we got there the sherif showed up and most everyone ran except me they handcuffed me and searched me and took my meds and had me get into their car there was no one else around but they stayed put for a while then one of them asked me what kind of meds these were and i told them that those were my grunting meds that kept me from grunting and he asked me my name and phone number and address and they talked on the radio for a while after a while we started moving which was weird because this was a regular sherif car and we were in sort of sand and the car got stuck so they called in a sherif suv and this suv came i guess it was in the area and we all got in the suv and left the other car and we drove to the road after a while we got to the sherif station where they booked me and it was like the police station and no one smiled there either but this time my cell was full of mean looking people and they smelled funny but i was used to funny smelling people from the hospital there was no place to lay down so i sat on the floor. my head hurts.

"Secondly, not all "Linux people" are loners who never get laid."
True. Most of us are, but not all, I'll grant you that.
Belief is the currency of delusion.
