Newegg is doing their share by rush shipping replacements. This whole affair isn't their fault and they got on top of the situation quickly enough, what more do you expect?
It is a very bad airplane. It's complicated in areas that general aviation spent the last 30 years ironing out complications. There are very strong reasons why the small/private aircraft industry uses designs that are ancient...they tend to work, and why they stop working is known too. This thing is whole new WHY DID IT BECOME A LAWN DART let's learn new things.
Yeah, well them ain't your teeth they are digging out of the ground 30 feet short of the runway...they are (were) mine.
If you want a bad car, rent a Chevy Aveo. If you want a bad plane, rent in Mexico. If you want a good plane, rent a Cessna 150 in the USA. Want to meld a good car and a good plane? You can't. People have been trying this for 50 years and no one has succeeded. A good car cannot be a good plane and vice versa. They are mutually exclusive concepts.
You don't want a tether on a bag full of stuff in orbit because it can act in pretty unpredictable ways, flailing about and risking the life of the person that's holding the bag is the first consideration. Guys, this isn't changing the oil on your car. A stray object can damage any one of the many couplings on the suit and rendering that suit inoperable very quickly. Bad news if you happen to be that person inside the suit at that time. Failure on Earth means you pick up the wrench and go back at it. Failure up there is a dead person on a mission with a multiples of billions of dollars pricetag hung off to the side.
Further, they are trained on instrument loss...tools floating off, et cetera. Again, this is not Earth wherein you can grasp around with complete impunity looking for whatever tool that just spun out on the garage floor. Space walkers especially are trained far more on what they cannot do than what they can do. They can reach out very slowly to try and recover something that is drifting off, but any large effort means that they may also join that tool bag on its long, lonely orbit around the Earth. In the small and large scheme of things, an astronaut is of far more value than a wrench or any multitudes thereof.
Also, yes, NASA knows a little bit about redundancy and especially so on space walks.
Give our astronauts a bit of credit here. Tough job. Worst pay on the planet (or near it) for the risk. Awesome view, but colossal vertigo.
A bit of trivia: space walker's microphones are muted for the first 30 seconds of their first space walk. Reason is this: in space, no one can hear you scream. And with the mic off, neither can Houston.
Keep in mind that the world back then was a much more dangerous place than it is now. 4600 years ago, nearly anything could have been considered a weapon of mass destruction; rocks, branches, fresh poop on a sharpened stick, et cetera, et cetera. We can proudly say that now the only weapons of mass destruction are nuclear bombs and biological/chemical weaponry...but this simply wasn't so back then.
What has not been outlined in this report, but is a subject of speculation, is that these people were preparing weapons of mass destruction a bit too close the Georgedubyaenthal Valley and were dealt with as what they were/may not have been doing.
I'm not an expert on Paleolithic Politics, but as history has taught us, the victors write the history books that their leaders are too illiterate to read.
And yes, the article is correct in that they are the first known Nukular Family, their homestead was found on what is now known as the Nukular Plateau which is far the the right of the older archeological dig known as the Nuclear Region. Sadly, evidence of that was wiped out by the Georgedubyaenthals......so we speculate.
Everyone knows that a tachyon sub-space burst from the main deflector dish invariates the sublimated inverse proportional fields that all cloaking devices use.
Phase the array with multi-numinal values and any cloak in the perimeter will be dropped due to subversive nominal decay but only if you attune your tertiary sensing systems to compensate for the quadralinear flux.
This is all so simple, and I have to wonder about the credentials of/. editors that would post such elementary issues on this website.
I mean really, this is first trimester stuff that any recruit can do off the tops of their heads.
By stats, it's a lot safer to fly on an established huge jet airline that covers millions of miles in a year than : a private pilot with any experience flying a very small aircraft. By huge orders of magnitude.
That you think by glancing at these figures and deducing flying is safe is hugely wrong. Flying in huge jumbo type jets run by mega corporations is safer than driving...probably.
That by looking at stats for what amounts to scaffolding with wings versus tires...tires wins by a huge amount.
Clear air doesn't always mean safe air. Given his altitude, airframe icing may be a cause.
Nor does experience mean the pilot will always make the best decisions...experience is the best teacher only if you always listen to it, combined with good judgment.
I'd guess a mechanical failure of some sort. Carb door coming off and getting sucked into the manifold, bearing/crank/valve train failure, fuel delivery, whatever. Any number of problems that may arise while perhaps toodling around low and slow become huge almost unmanageable problems very quickly. The transition from aircraft to glider to lawn dart can be astoundingly quick and fully outside the bounds of any pilot to fix.

Fellow readers,
Keep in mind that the world back then was a much more dangerous place than it is now. 4600 years ago, nearly anything could have been considered a weapon of mass destruction; rocks, branches, fresh poop on a sharpened stick, et cetera, et cetera.

Offer $.50 per share, nothing more. Yahoo is a dead brand and a dead service.
I am *shocked* that Yahoo didn't take MS's first offer and run away, giggling.
Yahoo has no chance for any kind of meaningful partnerships now that MS and Google are no longer in the picture.
I find plenty of dark matter when I turn out all the lights prior to going to bed for the evening.
Specifically, I find plenty of dark matter with my toes, which doesn't result in a shout of discovery like, "Eureka!" but ,"*$&#@!"

Nope. The record for a speed landing is still held by Beagle 2 which currently stands at a Mach 352 High Performance Landing.
No, he didn't die while flying a plane. He died while crashing a plane.
