So, yet another attempted political assassination attempt. Let’s watch the national news media fall all over themselves to report on this, shall we? Midterms horror as Republican candidate’s daughters, three and five, are almost KILLED after gunman opens fire at North Carolina home – where Democrat rival filmed campaign ad – with bullet landing close…
An Aerojet rendering, unfortunately not in color, of the Small ICBM (MGM-134 “Midgetman”) from the 80’s. This was a single-warhead missile meant specifically to be carried by and launched from an off-road truck/trailer capable of withstanding a reasonably nearby nuclear blast. The image hear focuses on the second stage; like all post-Minuteman US ICBM’s, the…
Still a little clunky, but they’re getting close to a practical unit. The graphics it can place over reality remain monochromatic and low-rez, basically text (looks like circa 1980 home computer stuff), but the fact that they can get *anything* is impressive. I doubt something like this would be a good idea for fighter pilots;…
David DePape is an illegal alien, having come from Canada through the Mexican border and overstayed his visa. But he was in California, a “sanctuary state,” and more specifically San Francisco, a “sanctuary city.” I wonder if Pelosi will ever wonder if the immigration laws were enforced, maybe this wouldn’t have happened? But then, how…
After numerous issues with the Unwanted Blog and the APR blog, causing me to not only set up this backup blog but also forcing me to give a crap about Twitter… both up-ship.com and aerospaceprojectsreview.com have vanished, “Server Not Found.” This does not seem to be a problem targeted at me in particular; the hosting…
A gearbox with a gear ratio of ten to the power of 169. The last gear will *never* turn once; it’s unlikely to turn even a detectable amount. Not just because there are probably no plans to hook the *first* gear up to a perpetual motion machine, but the fact that mo matter how fast…
The filming miniature of the USCM Dropship from “Aliens” is being auctioned off. It’s a bit incomplete and showing its age, but it’d be a hell of a thing to own. I’d love to have one in 1/35 scale to go with the APC model kit. Sigh.
This guy tells a joke, the short from of which is that learning about science in school is useless, because he didn’t become a scientist. Now it could well be that he doesn’t actually believe that; perhaps a longer video with more context has him redeem himself later. But the basic notion expressed here grates…
