  1. Stealth Bombers attacking terrorists in the desert Some of the targets were deeply buried, but wow...
  2. Did you hear the behind the scenes? She showed 15 minutes late and curtailed the agreed upon time. If she can't handle Brett Bair on Foxnews how is she going to stand toe to toe with Vlad or Xi Jinping?
  3. Meanwhile Elon caught a booster in flight with a tower today on the FIRST try. That was AMAZING!
  4. A lot of fun games yesterday, what will the polls do? #1 Texas dominated the Sooners. #3 Oregon knocks off #2 Ohio State. Great game, OSU won't fall far in the polls. #4 Penn State wins but they let unranked USC take them to overtime and got lucky with the field goal miss. #5 Georgia struggles against 1-5 Miss State. AND Kirby shoves the Miss St Quaterback!!! #7 Alabama struggles again. I thought the Gamecocks were gonna pull it off. #8 Tennessee struggles against Florida but pulls it out in OT. #9 Ole Miss falls to #13 LSU. #10 Clemson dominated Wake Forrest despite a fast start by Wake, Dab0 engineered a blistering 2nd quarter with 28 points. I am sure the SEC bias will keep many of them in the top 10/25 despite the losses and struggles against unranked opponents.
  5. I am pulling for Oregon but what a classless act by Traeshon Holden...He spit in the OSU players face. Glad he was ejected, he should be suspended as well. Filthy animal!
  6. I am a total space geek and have been reading up on the upcoming mission back to the moon. There is some SERIOUS turmoil in the community over the decisions that have been made. The orbital mechanics are VERY different and is many ways, more risky mainly because the ARTEMIS does not have enough thrust (Delta V), to conduct the mission the same way as Apollo using a low lunar orbit. Instead, they will use a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NHRO), which means there will be long periods that if something happens on the surface, they will have to wait for the return vehicle to come back in range. Apollo Flight Plans ARTEMIS Flight Plans NRHO Flight path. The profile requires we launch into earth orbit, then launch a series of "tankers" to fuel the mission. Interestingly we have NEVER done cryogenic refueling in space. More concerning, we are two years from launch and they still don't know how many tankers they have to launch for this mission. The latest NASA estimate is 15!!! Thankfully they are not using the Boeing Starliner capsule, but Boeing is very involved with other parts of the project. Cool to see us reaching out again but sucks that we can't do what we did 55 years ago!
  7. Far more capable than Waltz...I really wish Trump had picked Haley. Policy wise she is more centrist, she could easily be POTUS tomorrow and vote wise she appeals to a broader base...IMHO this election would be a runaway win for Trump at this point.
  8. Israel with the ultimate game of F@ck Around and Find Out.
  9. Clash of titans, Oregon does not get the press they deserve AND they are playing at home. I think Oregon pulls it out.
  10. Still won't be 1-5, what an epic collapse...undefeated and suing to leave the ACC to a 1-5 dreg in last place. Hope the lawsuit works out for you. I have not and will not say Miami is going to win the Natty...long road ahead but they have been playing good ball and have finally had some calls go there way (The Pass Interference called two minutes after the play ended in the bowl game against Ohio State still hurts). I actually think FSU will rise to the occasion for the Miami game and I am concerned. So a guy doesn't fit the Miami culture so he leaves and becomes the 7th player at UGA to be arrest this year and you blame Miami? GTFO It is ironic when beanbags like you share that false narrative. You might want to look int he mirror, but you won't like what you see. From 2006 to 2014 FSU was #2 on the list of schools with the most violent players with 66 football and basketball players arrested (UF was #1). Miami was not even in the top 25. 24/7 sports tracks also college football player arrests in more recent years...guess who is #22 on the list...FSU with 19 arrests since 2015! Miami isn't even in the top 50 with 6 arrests. I know you can't put your hate aside but please recall I advocated for FSU last year when they were undefeated know FSU is having a crap year but at least be honest and stop making up tripe so you don't become the Kamala Harris of this thread...let me guess "you were raised a middle class..."
  11. Our system could not handle the pressure from all four pumps at contact, would force a pressure disconnect. We usually let fuel flow stabilize then asked for the extra pumps.
  12. I heard she could handle multiple probes and pumps at the same time.
  13. Heard the exact same thing from civilian staff bros, complete toxicity just waiting for him to fire someone. This is Slife's fault for protecting and enabling this sycophant.
  14. Let that butthurt flow! Let me guess, you are an Amherst College Grad/Fan
  15. Now Fat Tony thinks he is an Athletic Director. The only scores he understands are his round trip currency to the endless donut buffet.
  16. Are you tracking the threats made against volunteer pilots who were helping rescue people and deliver supplies! Helicopter pilot threatened with arrest after rescuing people stranded by Hurricane Helene
  17. As predicted...FIVE one loss SEC teams in the Top 10, including two that were upset by unranked opponents. College football rankings after Week 6 Coaches Poll Texas Ohio State Oregon Georgia Penn State Miami Alabama Ole Miss Tennessee LSU Alabama player showing some class.

  18. I wish!....would have slipped him some cash to put us up early and save me the cardiac stress. I honestly didn't know he was refereeing that game until I saw the first penalty.
  19. I am not saying it doesn't happen, but in this case I HIGHLY doubt it. Not because I am a biased Miami fan but because the Referee from that game is a friend of mine. In life and business he is truly one of the most ethical guys I know, he has actually been recognized for it in the company we both work for. Aside from that call, I heard the commentators talking about a general theme in college refereeing this year, a focus on trying to get to the right outcome rather than always have "indisputable evidence." While I want them to get to the right call, it can't be arbitrary...there will probably be changes after this season. Does it really matter, the SEC bias is going to put as many SEC teams in the playoff as possible. We will see at 1300 but the poll projections have Alabama and Georgia in the top five, above undefeated Miami. I get it, Alabama had a quality win against Georgia, but they lost to Vanderbilt...who was 2-2 and until last night, was 0-60 against top 5 opponents, let alone a #1. Somehow that is not a bad enough loss to drop them below several undefeated teams. Gimme a freaking break.
  20. Depends on the platform. It had a much bigger bow wave which made it tougher for bigger platforms like the Gunship. As a technique behind the KC-10 I would come in a big low and try to pop up through the bow wave. One cool feature about the KC-10, they have dual pumps. Typically we would hook up with one pump and once we had steady fuel flow, ask for the second pump which increased the offload to 3,000lbs per minute. I did two deployments to Korea and had KC-10's drag us both times. Hickam to Guam taking gas every 45 minutes while you are 10K over Max Weight to get to the ETP...good times.
