Re: Falcon Heavy ready for lift off

It looks to me as if one of the main chutes collapsed OVER the capsule on splash-down. An interesting challenge. This article in Space.Com yesterday highlighted why this phase of the mission could have thrown up some new challenges. SpaceX's new astronaut taxi will return to Earth tomorrow morning ...

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

This has always been true, whatever the nature of this court case . Same is true of almost all human sporting activities. What may change is the level of acceptability to both the general public and the government (whether national or local). In practice, all that matters is what the rich and power...

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

The CAA has already knee jerked into changes to the regulations and insurance cover etc. regarding airshows which has resulted a concomitant increase in bureaucracy, suitability of display zones and the cost for potential show organisers not least due to increased insurance premiums. I doubt there w...

Re: Is the Guardian a biased rag?

Saying somebody is coloured in South Africa actually implies that they are of mixed race or of Malay descent. Semantics, history and culture vary all over the world.

Re: Shoreham Air Show Plane Crash

Justice has heen seen to be and has been done. Karim Khalil QC, defending, argued Mr Hill had been suffering from "cognitive impairment" when the jet crashed. Mr Hill was also formally found not guilty of a count that was not put in front of the jury of negligently or recklessly endangering the safe...

Re: Falcon Heavy ready for lift off

Good to hear and one hopes that the return flight and reentry is flawless as these first landings by the Falcon boosters were last year. Forgive me for reprising this is. It was simply incredible. A case of watching the future happen now even if that is self obvious or even tautological. Prepare to ...

Re: School pupils build a Eurofox kit aircraft.....

Gell-Mann also writes very well and has the knack of making even very complex subjects accessible to laymen without being condescending or, worse, simplifying the subject at hand to the level of science for idiots! His book ‘The Quark And the Jaguar: Adventures in the Simple and the Complex’ is well...

Jeez, this hatred and thoughts of violence are invigorating for me at least. Enjoy Caco. Remember that senseless violence is an effective method to solve arguments and correct errors. Says so in the Slasher Guide to CRM (Module 2 - Error Management and Conflict Resolution). That's why I carry a big...
