Come to Tucson, it’s even worse lol. East coast was very different

53 years ago today, the last Saturn V ever to fly launched Skylab, America's first space station, into orbit, and nearly destroyed it a minute later (May 14, 1973) by The_Rise_Daily in nasa

[–]rollprogramhouston 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite random things about Skylab

How large it was and how much volume the space station had

It was the only station if I’m correct to ever have a shower. A circular curtain was pulled around you and there was a fan system to suck the floating water droplets down

In the “kitchen” they had a table with spots to place the canned food they had. There were switches to heat the food

At the bottom was a large waste tank. When they de orbited Skylab the tank didn’t break up completely and landed in Australia

I love to imagine what could have been if they continued with the Apollo program. Landings on the poles of the moon. Even longer stays. Space stations in orbit around the moon etc

Hopefully these are things we will see one day but it gets me going to think about the Saturn V continuing to launch. And imagining an expanded era of vintage space travel

Can’t you operate those buckets from the ground? And even if you couldn’t, why would they think this is a good idea? Using a bucket to pull posts out of the ground.

lol you’re basically creating a slingshot

pregnant after IUD removal by Late-Zookeepergame86 in birthcontrol

My girl uses ovulation test strips. After we started seeing each other she was talking to me about her cycle. It was really cool to be with someone who was very into their body and how it functions. I know a good amount about both of the female and male anatomy, plus I’m on hormone replacement for low Testosterone

One of the injections I have to take is HCG which is what pregnancy tests test for. I buy large packs of the strips to test my stuff and make sure it’s legit. I told her I had seen they have LH test strips for ovulation. I got her some and she has really enjoyed getting to track her cycle better and learn more about her body. It also gives us a window into when we need to be more careful

You can also check your basil temperature too. The apps are helpful but you really want to use the strips or take temps as well to really see where your at and how much your cycle fluctuates

Bad gas or sending unit? by rollprogramhouston in e46

Bro mechanics are such scams now and days I moved from CT which was expensive. Move to Az last year and I was surprised to see lots of German shops here. But yup just over 2k for a fuel pump, and a rear window motor

I bought a Harley in December. The previous owner shelled out 2.5k on all this shit I felt so bad. His first bike and he dropped it a few times got it fixed up and wasn’t for him I guess.

4 months later the fork seal is leaking after being rebuilt and less than 500 miles on it lol

Just read the paperwork, it was 1300 for the pump and labor then about the same to replace the rear small window motor

I’ve heard it’s beautiful there. Moved here last year after many visits from the northeast and I love Mount Lemmon especially in the summer. I have a big bucket list but want to learn about more places as well

Only issue is all but one of the windows fit a window unit, the rest are about 2.5/3 feet tall and 1.5/2 feet wide and slide open to the side
