(In this case, I mean the Musk “Starship”, which he just tweeted as renders on both the Moon and Mars.) There was a time the man didn’t want anything to do with the Moon. Dat man, he be maturing… I’m reasonably certain I don’t have to label these “Moon” and “Mars”. The audience at BW.com […]
In yet another display of the Democrats rampant anti-Semitism, the New York Times published a blatantly anti-Semitic cartoon on Thursday, April 25. Their response to the completely justified protests on Twitter and other social media is as follows: “A political cartoon in the international print edition of The New York Times on Thursday included anti-Semitic […]
No explanation necessary.
A fascinating bit of history here that I had never heard. World War I was so much more complex than they teach you in school: Not to put too fine a point on it, but save for the radiation this was basically a low-yield nuclear-level explosion.
I can’t keep this site to myself. All you folks out there who might be interested in what Elon Musk is doing, including Tesla and SpaceX, should have this site bookmarked. The SpaceX section is comprehensive. I’m sure the other sections are as well, but I’m less interested in expensive electric cars. Carry on.
I just came across this video of an earlier pad abort test, four years ago, of the Crew Dragon. This is what it’s supposed to do when the SuperDracos ignite… Let us hope they figure out what went wrong last week, as quickly as possible.
This guy makes me want to go take some geology courses. I wish every lecturer had this degree of style. Enjoy! And, if you’re hooked, he has dozens of course videos on YouTube, found here (this is the future of education, by the way).
My wife and I saw Avengers: Endgame yesterday, and were blown away by it. Exciting, funny, poignant, a true spectacle, and a worthy finale had they chosen stop here. Like any movie, it’s not without its flaws and some bits don’t bear up to close examination, but what a ride! And it occurs to me […]
As an engineer, and a systems engineer at that, I have a tendency to put on my metaphorical wings and soar up beyond “the 30,000 foot level” in order to look down and see the big picture, to try to grasp how a system works. What its inputs and outputs are, what forces govern its […]
Alyssa Ahlgren, writing in Minnesota-based AlphaNews, is a 26-year-old who just had an epiphany that, if we are lucky, will happen to the rest of her generation. Sitting in a hipster coffee shop, she “saw America” for the first time. [I]t dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous […]
Most people have seen a shorter clip of this video, but here’s the much longer version: Of course, the end result of this behavioral disorder is something like this:
I had a good education when I was growing up. I was fortunate enough to have my parents send me to a private grade school and high school. Education matters. Being taught “How to Think” not what to think is paramount. My suggestion for this is: The State should supply not just k through 12, […]
I’m finally getting around to testing the best way to embed a video in blog post. It’s possible that different browsers will produce different results. My tests below were performed in a Chrome browser. Method #1: Click Insert > Media > Paste YT link in Source Box > Click OK Result: Preview of video immediately […]
Another good speech, wherein President Trump reiterated that the Second Amendment ain’t going anywhere. (Reconstituted from an earlier post which got lost during a system transfer. Apologies to those who lost their comments.)
