And the fact that they can land something that huge on 4 skids is just astounding. :o :bigthumb:
-
True - at least, when it works, anyway. very impressive to watch it land on the barge.
-
I'm sure it's impressive when it doesn't work too. Just in a very different way. :D
-
LOL, yeah - I guess so ;D

Not shown in the picture is a Yankee in their car thinking it's Wal-Mart and yelling, "I saw that parking place FIRST"! :go-on:

Interesting. Is that a Privateer that the missile is loaded on?
-
In Soviet Russia, wingman shoot you down!

Opps! Looks like he'll be spending a lot more time in Siberia. :'(

Yes, according to Wikipedia

Thanks. I thought it looked familiar.

Also OTD in 1961, trailrunner was launched. He's been veering off course ever since. :)

By, 'legal' I meant are you old enough to take the fall for all the shit I'd pull if we went out drinking? And drive me home afterward. ::)

Isn't that what Hela used in Thor: Ragnorak? Or was that one of the Transformers?

Let the Russians have the Turks. They are becoming way too much trouble for the small worth. US backed Israel is more than enough deterrent for a Russian back Turkey.
-
Yeah. Give the F35s to the Kurds instead. They could use a goodwill gesture from us about now.

Thor disapproves of Soyuz. :nope:
-
In Soviet Russia, Soyuz disapproves of Thor.
Proof that it just kinda shrugged that lightning bolt off without a wobble. I'm actually shocked it didn't come apart like a Robb Stark wedding alliance. :)
-
Guess that clunky 50's vintage hardware design ethos has an upside after all.

Since the event Vlad has out-lawed lightning.

that is very awesome. Not sure I can swing a road trip just to see it, but is very cool

I'd love to check out the Air & Space Museum again. I loved that place when I was younger.

I'm no rocket scientist but I don't think it's supposed to do that...
-
No. Maybe someone had it in reverse gear by mistake?
-
Or maybe the Fetzer valves needed some gauze and 3-in-1 oil. It's all ball-bearings these days...
-
Rocketry... where even yer failures are spectacular.
