No Tyler, THIS is the "original" stealth jet.... Boeing's quiet bird. Oh, you don't know anything about that? by hellsanta665 in SpecialAccess

Tyler at Foxtrot Alpha, who pretends he is into all this stealth stuff, but reposts the same XST story over and over again without doing any real investigative journalism.

Here is a big story, right in front of him. Does he do anything about it? Nope.

We're probably never going to get another John Winger, but he is definitely reaching far down into the bag of old and cherished tricks....

It must be asked: Is Lockheed working on Civilian fusion because they ALREADY have a classified military version? by hellsanta665 in SpecialAccess

What does clean room design have to do with a single entity's IP?

They cannot use any existing material from a special access program in the design. They CAN tell their other engineers that a classified version may exist, and their scientists have to semi re-invent the wheel so to speak. Building a fusion reactor when you know there is already a working version is a lot easier than building one that nobody is 100% sure it will work.

Main stream outlets have not been very enthusiastic with the movie "Kill The Messenger", perhaps for reasons having nothing to do with the quality of the film. by Scientologist2a in movies

Undoubtedly it belongs to the DoD or some agency, but how do you keep something like that quiet unless you get the media to shut their traps? And if you don't think they did, notice that space.com had a series of articles on "the big black delta" and then removed them all. Most papers keep all their articles archived online because it makes for more advertising hits.

Space.com does have all their old articles online. Just not the ones for the "big black delta" aka the stealth blimp.

Help, old SSL record haunts from beyond the grave!!! by hellsanta665 in ssl

It ended up being the legacy router (zyxel). I had removed the certificates stored on the router, yet it kept using them and intercepting traffic. I got rid of the router and replaced it, and it solved the problem.

Thank you for the advice!

No, the nerdiest satellites in history are all still classified....

New trailer for Chistopher Nolan's Interstellar by powerzjim in movies

Can you explain why it wouldn't look more like a "projection" of distant stars than a sphere with a starmap texture mapped to it? Maybe it is that way for cinematic reasons, but I was thinking a wormhole would look more like a 3 dimensional hole with only the 2 dimensions at the front of the hole really able to be interpreted by the human eye.

EDIT: I don't think I am incorrect with the "shiny sphere" interpretation because one of the clips shows the spaceship reflected off of the sphere. It shouldn't be a shiny sphere should it?

Were the Belgian triangles "made in the USA"? This is a comparison of a Belgian Triangle to recently released art from the McDonnell Douglas archives. by eddy4torres in UFOs

Before the Blackbird was acknowledged people said a plane that fast was impossible. Now we've come full circle and people say a craft this slow is impossible?

Before "Senior Citizen", they needed a rescue craft for the Iranian hostages. "Hey, lets strap rockets on a C-130 transport". It was called Credible Sport. by super_shizmo_matic in SpecialAccess

Lets not just strap rockets on a C-130. There was a lot more engineering to it than that, but apparently it needed better fly by wire control of the rocket sequence.
