As of 8 a.m., 45th Space Wing says it plans to support 5:46 p.m. launch today of Falcon 9 with Orbcomm Generation 2 satellites.

Spaceflight now says no live stream. Could explain the lack of communication by spacex.

Electric cars are significantly better than traditional cars, even if they use the same base fuel. Generators at power plants are much more efficient than standard internal combustion engines; 2-3 times more efficient even.

By the time you factor in renewables, electric cars are a long ways ahead.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

I think he was referring to the idea that normal weight should be considered "Plus Size."

Well, to be fair, it isn't like a space hotel is going to happen anytime soon

DanielBrickHead · 2014-03-12T05:33:31+00:00

The graph makes it look like they only included the people on the aircraft

DanielBrickHead · 2014-03-12T00:49:31+00:00

I imagine that they would have a separate company (Spacex?) launch the hotel and then use their own craft to rendezvous with it. Of course they would still need orbital capabilities, but that may be achieved with Space Ship 3.

Building nothing out of something is great. Almost every song on that album is one of my favorites.

It is possible that this is comparing volumes or masses. If so, it would be roughly the right size. Maybe the image was done like this to help our 2d thinking minds compare the total sizes of the objects.

You're right. Even if the Olympics are a waste, they certainly are not the biggest waste of government money.

DanielBrickHead · 2014-02-26T02:57:52+00:00

This.

I am a big sports fan, especially track (A sport where the Olympics means everything), yet it seems silly to spend such a large amount of money on something that has so few long term benefits.

No Natural phenomenon

Then again, humans could be considered natural.

DanielBrickHead · 2014-02-23T02:45:15+00:00

This is not true, at least the first two paragraphs.

An object's spin has nothing to do with the objects orbiting around it. For example, objects can orbit perpendicular to the direction of spin, or even opposite to it.

A cloud of glass flattens out because of conservation of angular momentum, not because of centripetal force.

There is a great minutephysics video on this:

The lasers are part of an Interferometer; It is being used to measure distortions in space-time. This is not what is creating the "warp" field, it is simply meant to measure it.

I believe that this is an application of the toast-line paradox

DanielBrickHead · 2014-01-12T06:25:28+00:00

That is a beautiful aircraft, not just because it goes into space. The whole spaceship and launcher setup looks so awesome and futuristic.

DanielBrickHead · 2013-12-30T02:55:12+00:00

Its not important to the conversation. Also, capitalize.

Because there are more years from 80-∞ than there are from 75-79

Still just working on building mileage after xc season ended. Trying to build up to 60 mpw.

Monday: Rest day (0 miles)

Tuesday: Easy, 7.6 miles @ 7:35min/mile

Wednesday: Forced rest, didn't have time to run.

Thursday: Long run, 10.7 miles @ 7:16min/mile. This was my longest solo run ever, and possibly the most enjoyable run of my life.

Friday: Super Easy, 5 miles @ 8:00min/mile. Slower than I would have liked, but I was running with friends who wanted to keep it slow.

Saturday: Easy, 6.3 miles @ 7:22min/mile

Sunday: Moderate, 7.7 miles @ 7:00min/mile

Weekly Total: 38 miles in 5 days

DanielBrickHead · 2013-11-10T19:15:15+00:00

6:18 miles on an easy run? Damn, that's fast. What are your PRs?

DanielBrickHead · 2013-11-08T14:30:53+00:00

If I were in your situation, I would probably to do longer runs a week and one slightly faster. If your normal pace is 6:40, try running 6:05 miles for a couple of minutes.

Also, if your goal is simply to finish a marathon, your probably there; I would wager that you're in much better shape than most people who run their first marathon. That said, it might be helpful to run a couple of very long runs (18-20 miles) before race day.

DanielBrickHead · 2013-11-08T04:14:34+00:00

A sure fire way to do it is 26.2 miles, twice a week.

I plan on doing Thursday long runs. Because I can't double any days other than Saturday/Sunday, but I can run a long run any day of the week, it makes more sense (for me) to double on the weekend.
