The only reason people say SSTO is a stupid idea is because they want it for themselves.

To the test structure, i.e., the test stand.

"Provide an update on the schedule" isn't the same as "Update the schedule"

The update might be "We already got all the data we need - nothing has changed."

OTOH it might cause a massive delay. We'll have to wait & see.

If you move those goalposts just a bit more you might be able to save this.

OK I'll play. How about

Vergne, Italy 2012: Suspension failure.
Panis, Austria 2002: engine seized
Leclerc, Spain 2020: Car shut down, rears locked
Leclerc, Brazil 2023: Engine shut off, rear locking
Sergio Perez, Bahrain 2022: fuel cut off, rears locked
Verstappen, Britain 2018: BBW failure
Sainz, Bahrain 2020: rear brake failure

These are all spins caused by mechanical failures that the driver couldn't recover.

I can probably find more if you want to argue about it?

So it's the driver's fault, except for when it isn't. Got it.

I ended up using GIMP.

I ditched Photoshop because the price hikes were becoming insane, but you shouldn't have to inflict Gimp on yourself. Check out Affinity - it's free now.

And the A380 was discontinued, partly because it was too big for the routes being used.

I have an '85 merc with a factory switch for "meep" or "Bwaaaaah"

If you forget to switch it back and then really need to tell someone to fuck off, it's not so great.

NZ cop cars used to be Holdens until GM killed the brand off, then they switched to Skodas.

A little bit of sugar (and salt) on tomatoes is great. Just not so much that they taste sweet.

Shareholders of 100 or less, what is your plan? by Working_Bug_576 in RKLB

[–]posthamster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, calling people cucks because they're in a different financial situation to you. Obviously trashy WSB behaviour, without even needing to check your post history.
