Mark Hamill? Seriously? Why not just make Jar-Jar the central character of the next movie? The writers and directors of episode VII have the easiest job ever: do better than George Lucas. That's it. No matter how crappy the movie is it only needs to be better than episodes I through IV and it'll still be a huge win.
Getting a bit of deja vu here. Looks like they'll be counting it as a first everytime this plane takes off. First for an American carrier, first time at night, first time with a special guest aboard, first flight with ground fog, etc.
RTFM. The manual will tell you to turn off traction control on snow and ice. I live in Edmonton, and I can't get my car down the street in the winter unless I turn off traction control. As soon as one tire slips a tiny bit it'll cut power so you can't get your speed up. If you're in deep snow it's a sure way to get stuck because you have to be able to spin your tires a little bit as you drive.
Well, Harley riders tend to be a bit on the big-mean Hell's Angel's side of things. And crotch-rocket riders tend to be the aggressive suicidal type. Someone who buys a motorized shopping cart isn't going to instill that sense of someone who shouldn't be messed with.
"Similar to Cameron’s sub, the capsule features a pressure sphere, although a six foot one made out of fiberglass and epoxy instead of the four foot version made from metal that Cameron needed."
He also compares the pressurized capsule to James Cameron's sub, as if their designs are similar in the slightest. Designing for a vacuum is a hell of a lot easier than designing for the bottom of the ocean. What's with all the scientific reporters not having the slightest clue about their subject matter?
I find it amazing that he didn't break the sound barrier. How can their calculations have been wrong? I would have thought with the effort that went into this they'd have been able to predict exactly how fast he'd go, how high he'd jump from, etc.
I'll probably still be driving the same car I have today. My computer will be a little faster, and it'll be running Windows 11. Other than that I really can't see my day being so different than it is now. Well, hopefully I'll get a new dishwasher sometime but I doubt it'll be networked.
You enter higher or lower orbits by speeding up or slowing down. If you fire at right angles to your direction of travel you increase your velocity and end up in non-circular orbits.
Wish I had mod points for the parent. Talking on cell phones sucks compared to land lines. We've changed our speech patterns to cope with the heavy compression, delay, and overall low quality of cell phone audio.
The would no longer be able to speculate, guess, make mistakes that are later corrected, and any number of things that are essential to the process. The scientific process pretty much grinds to halt.
One of my favourite Dave Barry quotes: "We should enact an 'e' tax. Government agents would roam the country looking for stores whose names contained any word that ended in an unnecessary 'e,' such as 'shoppe' or 'olde,' and the owners of these stores would be taxed at a flat rate of $50,000 per year per 'e.' We should also consider an additional $50,000 'ye' tax, so that the owner of a store called 'Ye Olde Shoppe' would have to fork over $150,000 a year. In extreme cases, such as 'Ye Olde Barne Shoppe,' the owner would simply be taken outside and shot."

Episode IV was a masterpiece... of suck, but it gets a small pass because it was the first movie.

How about a big UNINSTALL button.

He passed on the role of director to Irvin Kershner for the second film. He should have never returned to directing. Or casting. Or screenwriting.
Also known as a man.
Nope. But I think it's funnier to see how many people have no ability to detect sarcasm.

Deer and moose also never run in front of cars on the highway. Anyone who thinks they are better off without ABS is an idiot.

Is this only applicable to sales made to US customers?
Ok, he did go mach 1.24 so apparently they can do math. Good for you Felix, you crazy, crazy, suicidal man.

Is it just me or does the author not know what false flag means?

Anybody gets to sue for almost anything. The real question is if he gets to win.
You enter higher or lower orbits by speeding up or slowing down. If you fire at right angles to your direction of travel you increase your velocity and end up in non-circular orbits.
The correct way is to shoot the gas in the direction you're travelling so that you slow down, which is a full 90 degrees from what you suggest.
Docking with an orbiting satellite, especially one that's no longer under your control, is very difficult.

Hope it works better than Bluetooth.
You'll want the entire facility accessible through Jefferies tubes if you want to properly future proof it.
