Lexx Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Speculation is that it happened on engine relight. The fog became orange for a second and then debris was falling down. I'm really annoyed that they tried to do this in the heavy fog. Now we don't even have new footage of anything.

Lexx Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I'm honestly surprised it takes so long. I kinda thought they'd drop it down and start flying, in like an hour or what.

Gorth Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20210423-how-grass-and-gel-could-make-condoms-better "From condoms that self-lubricate to ones with in-built medication that protects against STDs, the contraception of the future is already in development." ... "There are a variety of reasons for why people are resistant to using condoms – religious grounds, poor sexual education and a dislike of the way they feel. Condom breakages or slippages are relatively uncommon, but do occur – some studies estimate they occur in between 1% and 5% of cases – and this can also impact confidence and whether people use them. It has led researchers to search for ways of improving the humble condom with innovative materials and technologies in the hope that it might enable more people to use them. One promising idea for stronger condoms uses graphene – an ultrathin single layer of carbon atoms that was first identified by Nobel Prize winning scientists at the University of Manchester, UK, in 2004. Aravind Vijayaraghavan, a materials scientist at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester, believes "the world's thinnest, lightest, strongest and best heat conductive material" could be ideal to improve the properties of condoms." That Graphene stuff sounds interesting. Not just for enjoyment purposes “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Chilloutman Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 came here to say the same. Great success I'm the enemy, 'cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. I'm the kinda guy that likes to sit in a greasy spoon and wonder, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecue ribs with the side-order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol! I wanna eat bacon, and butter, and buckets of cheese, okay?! I wanna smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in the non-smoking section! I wanna run naked through the street, with green Jell-O all over my body, reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly may feel the need to, okay, pal? I've SEEN the future.

Lexx Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I think it's more that 1950s sci-fi writers knew what they were writing about.
