Am I the only one missing Buran? I know it didn't really do much but neither did the Energia or the N-1...
 
N1: 211 horses, exploded on the launchpad

This makes launch failures sound even messier than they already are... :blink:
 
N1: 211 horses, exploded on the launchpad

Also it didn't explode on the launchpad. The first got up to 12 kilometers, the second a few hundred meter, the third a kilometer and the last one to 40 kilometers. Especially 40 kilometers is a bit more than "launchpad".
 
*No horses were harmed in process of creation of this infographic.

It's my first time in Houston, on a layover. Met a NASA Flight Controller from EFT-1 at my gate.
 
Ok, finished my Mineralogy exam, four and a half exams down, one more to come. But Vector Calculus is tommorow, and it is supposed to be a beast :shifty:

Wish me luck!

Good luck fellow Canadian!

My only exam remaining is general chemistry, should be easy. I finished my final physic exam (electricity and magnetism) monday, and did my French exam (Épreuve Uniforme de Français), which is standard in the whole province of Québec.
 
I am approaching getting tested in "communication, leadership and self-management" in a few weeks...
 
Some of our managers get tested too, mostly when they talk to me.

Lesson 1; Don't ask the PhantomCruiser what he thinks.
Lesson 2; Don't ask the PhantomCruiser where he wants you to put something.
Lesson 3; Don't ask the PhantomCruiser a question if you are not ready to hear the answer.
Lesson 4; It's really a bad idea to ask the PhantomCruiser a stupid question.
Lesson 5; Yes, there really is such thing as a stupid question, you'll know when you hear it (as will everyone else).

I really am easy to get along with though, just don't poke the bear. Poking the bear is bad (kind of like crossing the streams). Most of us on the midnight shift are here for the same reason. We hate the dayshift BS, we can work our schedule in peace, there's only one boss (and he is in the control room leaving us alone because we got work to do). In the event of an emergency though, give us a call and we'll come running to help.
 
if you were feeling extra salty, you could run out and get one of those astroturf minigolf setups (you know the type), and set it up right in front of the door to your office. That way, whenever someone unwanted comes into your office, you could tell them to get off your lawn :D

Bonus points if you go the extra mile and get miniature fencing and pink flamingos.

Phantom, please do this.

AGREED. Mojoey seems to have struck some serious gold with this idea.
