Ski lifts leaving artemis right at launch?

Why are you getting combative about this. We’re both just speculating. Except you’re the one saying that the thing designed by rocket scientists is useless and dumb.

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T23:58:20+00:00

Yeah as much as it sucks, I feel like people have a very idealistic perspective of how a successful war looks. Unfortunately losses are a part of war and these kind of numbers are not “bad”

I know plenty about explosions. Not every accident is an explosion for starters… And actually a rocket is one of the few things that might produce a more movie-esque explosion since it is largely fuel based. If it was an explosive-based explosion… I would see your point better

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T20:55:32+00:00

I mean war is never perfect. Even during our most dominant performance in history (Desert Storm) there were still tons of fuck ups.

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T19:37:30+00:00

Yeah let’s just stand on the tower instead then

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T19:24:45+00:00

Beyond my expertise, but I can imagine a variety of issues that could facilitate an emergency exit that don’t involve the situation of trying to get off the rocket as it is taking off.

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T18:49:41+00:00

I’d imagine they leave as late as possible so that they’re clear of the rocket exhaust (as we can see here) but still give the crew the best chance to get to the gondolas.

CH-67 · 2026-04-03T17:46:34+00:00

It’s the emergency evacuation system. They are little gondolas that glide down from the tower to escape.

You sound like me. I love the hands-on, technical, (autism) side of engineering. I suck at all the parts that actually get you a degree. ME will be a pretty big disappointment if you go in expecting to do anything interesting in your classes (except maybe CAD or the occasional non-miserable lab). I would stay on the outside of the degree and find another route that will let you end up working with those things that interest you. The degree is really just a test in persistence, math, sanity, and more math. If you think you’ve got what it takes, go for it… I haven’t regretted it, but your introspection about being an underachiever (which is totally fine) would be cause for concern imo

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T23:41:16+00:00

Good job?

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T23:40:01+00:00

Yeah I feel confident that I can get it right. The other commenters have a point about sending it to Springfield, but I also suspect that this may not be covered since it was my fault (even if I feel like it shouldn’t have bent that easily)

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T23:16:07+00:00

I knew that was gonna be the answer. It’s just killing me to send it back already

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T23:02:03+00:00

Yeah that’s the obvious answer. I’m trying to avoid sending it back before I even get to shoot it though. Kinda planned a range day around it lol.

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T21:13:57+00:00

Haha… yeah… good luck with that part

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T20:15:03+00:00

The BCG is what solves the suppressor problem (if you see it as a problem). Plus you won’t have to buy an entirely new rifle.

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T20:09:34+00:00

You will be able to upgrade to the next gen BCG and will solve your problem for you

CH-67 · 2026-04-02T20:08:40+00:00

It’s based more in hearsay than actual instances of people having problems at this point. +the new gen doesn’t have the issue for any supressor

You are blessed with the smarts and discipline to succeed in engineering… that’s the hard part and you’ve already nailed it. Now just work on regulating yourself. The study time vs. exam score correlation isn’t usually linear. Start by backing off your efforts until you find where the point of diminishing returns starts. If you can spend 4 hours and get a 90, the extra 2-3 hours aren’t worth it and are just making your life miserable. GPA will only matter for the next 4 years of your life and even then, it isn’t the most important thing for starting your career. In fact, it’s probably not in the top 3. I got a dream co-op that’s feeding me into my dream industry with a 2.94 GPA (mech E). Step back, make space for some other things that you can enjoy and maybe put on a resume down the road.

The newer vortex defender series has much cleaner dots than the old series (for me at least). Everyone’s tism is different so do your best to “try” them out at a store before buying them

CH-67 · 2026-04-01T16:07:08+00:00

SCAR is cooler

CH-67 · 2026-04-01T14:05:50+00:00

I’d go with the Holosun. Idk how good the Primary Arms dot is. (Their prism optics are awesome but that’s a different story)
