    Thank you! :) It's a wonderful thing as an author when the characters actually start talking again. :)

    SEP: Interlude

    It's been way too long since I've afforded any attention here . . . but it does go to show that I should probably write more. :) I give you all: SEP: Interlude Eastbound, Pomona Freeway. Hacienda Heights, Greater Los Angeles, Calif. The cellphone rang again. Jamie Cunningham reached with...

    Project LR1 Skyhammer: A New Shuttle [p1]

    Kinda makes me wonder what Буран may have looked like as well, given that criteria. ;) Ahh, enough sidestepping, and on to what's hopefully a well-thought out thought: I wouldn't be too worried about using LC-39 as a staging point for this - 1) I could see that 39A would still have many of...

    Humor Funniest Orbiter moments (with screenies, if possible) :D

    That, my friend, is how you seriously irritate every sentient being in the galaxy universe multiverse whole freakin' plane of existence as we all know it, all at once. :lol:

    Flight 10 - The IFR conditions are simulated, but the failures are real

    Hehe. I had a similar situation happen to me years ago as well. Only it wasn't in an aircraft, it was in a Honda and it was late at night. The alternator DID actually 'almost' fail at one point (on a highway off-ramp about a mile from home) but it found it within itself to give me enough...

    I had a vaguely similar experience myself in Yellowstone two weeks ago - nothing quite so dramatic but I got to enjoy a few things-- 1) My family was incredibly put-off by all of the sulfur in the air coming from the mud pots, mini-geysers and fumaroles. 2) It was an incredible experience to...

    Wouldn't calling the asteroid that kinda defeat the purpose? Edit: No, it wouldn't. It wouldn't at all.

    As a HD engineer that can be remotely working on anything from Citrix to CRM to weird purchased proprietary programs at the drop of a hat, I can both fervently acknowledge and yet at the same time completely despise this statement. :lol:

    Flight 7 - Doin' some work.

    Woohoo! :thumbup: Haven't done anything remotely crosswind-related ever (only been up twice; the first time was in a Warrior and I was 19 and bulletproof; the second time I was a little older, different aircraft, more than a decade later, and had a more sensitive stomach given the weather) but...

    Software Update Nvidea drivers

    Short answer: Yes. Longer answer: It also may be good to know how to boot into Windows' safe mode and use the device manager effectively in case things go south. In a case like this you would need to locate the driver (in a standard Win7 setup it should be under 'Display Adapters' -...

    I read the word 'INTERPLANETARY' in the first image and the word 'EXPEDITIONS' almost snuck into my brain. . . :shifty:

    Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and binds the universe together.

    That is without a doubt one of the worst fake Russian accents I've heard in my life. . . :lol: :dry:
