What is the characteristic speed of a solid rocket motor based on ice and thermite?

I'm going to go with "BOOM". :lol:

Which part of the wreckage?

 

[mojoey]

Well if the front doesn't fall off...all of it, I assume.

The German Tornado aircraft lost their night-flight capability with the ASSTA-3 avionics update and can no longer be used at night.... :facepalm:

 

[Artlav]

Just try tossing a CR2032 cell a few times.

 

[SolarLiner]

But did it flip?

Does it matter? Actually adding a lower limit on the flip count only reduces the possible outcomes, which reduces the actual randomness...

No, it doesn't. There are always only two possible outcomes.

That's what we call a "catastrophic improvement".

Well, let's hope they have backups of the older avionics OS.

Wow, your air force is going to save a bundle since they don't have to pay pilots for the night shift now! Now you can take more Syrian refugees.

No, we need to make it a requirement to take it before voting. You fail the test, you don't get to vote.

45/50 and I did not even try hard to read the questions....

 

[Notebook]

I've done all the questions, but I can't find my score. Guess that means an auto-fail, like forgetting to put your name at the top of the paper...

N.

It's tempting sometimes, but there are excellent historical reasons to reject the idea with a resounding "NO!". Jim Crow demonstrated painfully well how that kind of thing can be manipulated.

49/50. I'm so American I make ladies of the night sign up for medicare.

You would need transparency. An independent committee could be set up to review the questions for bias.

But of course, then you have to keep the committee members from being biased...

I can't wait for Trump to get a hold of this test and demand that any American citizen whose name contains three consecutive consonants and/or ends with a vowel to take it to avoid deportation.

Most of them would pass with flying colors. Most Americans, however, would fail miserably.
