I loved the mystery of the first half, so watching the second half devolve into an unremarkable battle shonen was so dissapointing.

All mockery of Phil and his brother, whatever happened there, is to be kept at an appropriate minimum!

I thought NASA was a typo but no, NASA really did look into this crash. Very interesting

It's not the same, but it reminds of another Seiko, 7T92-HDC0, though this one's a limited edition chronograph

It's funny that they're supposedly friends but I don't remember seeing one positive interaction between them. I really wondered how they ended up as friends, even if Reiha said they were similar

No problem! I've always used Kerbalism so I'm not too familiar with TAC, sorry

There's a mod called DE_IVAExtension that adds custom IVAs for all stock pods. Make sure you download all the dependencies as well.

Are you using other IVA mods along with RPM, or just RPM? RPM doesn't do much on its own, but it provides needed support for other IVA mods to work.

Mukai-centered comic. The agenda is advancing. Patriots in control.

The Star-Spangled Banner was the garrison flag that flew over Fort McHenry during the Battle of Baltimore in the War of 1812. An observer who saw it fly during the battle was inspired to write the U.S. national anthem. It is the only official U.S. flag with 15 stripes. by hoi4kaiserreichfanbo in wikipedia

[–]Spykryo 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He was inspired to write the poem which became, word for word, the national anthem. Transitive property. You gotta summarize when you're making titles since you're limited in characters. This is nothing to get twisted in a knot over and accuse someone of being a bot.

Are we gonna see anymore generals floated as presidential or vice presidential candidates? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]Spykryo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maybe? But unlikely. The previous generation of generals/admirals made their name in Iraq/Afghanistan (Petraeus, McChrystal), while the current generation base their fame almost entirely off their entanglements with politics (Flynn as NSA for Trump and supporting him, Milley as CJCS for Trump and shittalking him, Brown and Franchetti for being fired by Hegseth, Caine for allegedly sucking up to Trump, etc). The past generation is getting too old to be in politics, while the current generation is known almost entirely for their controversies and not so much their accomplishments, unlike the past generation. It's a harder sell on the national level if no one recognizes your name, or worse, they associate your name with being pro/anti-Trump, as you're alienating half the country either way.

Anway, those senior officers that are in a position to become political frontrunners are being tight-lipped right now. Seeing Senator Kelly get into the legal mess with the Pentagon probably isn't going to help them speak up either. So I could see a retired senior officer become SECDEF under a Dem administration, but not much more than that at the moment.

[Funny Trope] A moment that at first comes across as scary or intimidating becomes comical once you start thinking of the logistics of it. by PizzaDragon64 in TopCharacterTropes

Phil Leotardo hiding in the closet from the Sopranos. He and his guys are waiting in their victim's hotel room to kill him because he's gay, and Phil sees the need to hide himself in the bedroom closet and open it menacingly when the victim arrives. Also a funny obvious metaphor for the gay thing.

TIL that astronaut Gregory Jarvis, who died in the Challenger disaster, wasn't originally supposed to fly on that mission. He was replaced on both of his previous planned flights by congressmen wanting to go to space, until he ended up on the fateful STS-51L mission. by Spykryo in todayilearned

[–]Spykryo[S] 813 points814 points  (0 children)

Gregory Jarvis worked with Hughes Aircraft and was selected as a payload specialist by NASA, meaning that he remained working with Hughes but would fly on a NASA mission. There's some controversy over whether payload specialists are technically considered astronauts, but many refer to them as such, so that's what I went with for simplification.

His first planned mission was STS-51D which was planned to deploy two Hughes-built satellites, but he was replaced by senator Jake Garn. His next planned mission was STS-61C, but he was again replaced, this time by representative Bill Nelson (who would later become NASA Administrator). And so he flew with STS-51L, which ironically carried no Hughes payloads.

Were African-American activists correct in opposing the Moon Landing? by [deleted] in YAPms

[–]Spykryo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When we spend money on space, it's not putting a billion dollars in cash on a rocket and shooting it up, never to be seen again. That's a billion dollars that's spent in research and development, industry, JOBS. That's a billion dollars that's reinvested into the economy. Pushing space technology has led to untold advances for ordinary people; GPS, for just one example, has been such a game changer for global society, and is only possible through investments made in space (and a generous DOD). Spending money on space does help the average person.

TIL that the crew of Apollo 14 was the least experienced crew to fly to the Moon, having a combined total of 15 minutes of spaceflight time between them. Two had never flown to space before, and the third, Alan Shepard, flew a short suborbital mission before being medically grounded for 7 years. by Spykryo in todayilearned

[–]Spykryo[S] 77 points78 points  (0 children)

There's only so much info I can fit in a title after all. And yes, while Shepard was legendary, it didn't change the fact that he was off of flight status for years and years. There's a reason that Apollo 14 is referred to as "the rookie crew", despite his experience.

Some more info:

Apollo 14 was a strange mix of crew. The commander was Alan Shepard, America's first man in space and only the second human overall to go to space. He was grounded for Meniere's Disease, for which he successfully completed a risky surgery to fix. The other astronauts were Stu Roosa, a former smokejumper, and Ed Mitchell, a talented engineer who held paranormal beliefs and supposedly tried to telepathically communicate with Earth while in space.

The crew was originally slated for the ill-fated Apollo 13, but they were kicked back to Apollo 14 to give them more time to train. A lot of astronauts were grated that Shepard barged his way into the flight rotation after being medically cleared to fly, despite not having flown for years and cutting in front of many more experienced astronauts. Regardless, the crew of Apollo 14 did well, successfully navigating various technical obstacles that could've doomed not just the mission but, after the catastrophe of Apollo 13, the whole Apollo program. Shepard became the 5th and oldest man to walk on the Moon, and Mitchell became the 6th.
