John F. Kennedy's challenge to the country to put man on the moon and bring them back safely by the end of the decade was "magical thinking" at the time. All throughout the sixties as the space program progressed there was a lot of opposition to it. We can't afford it. It doesn't help the people on the planet now, etc, etc, etc. Economic analysis of the space program and the results of the technology improvements and inventions shows that the money spent on the space program program was totally worth it. Trillions of dollars of economic activity can be traced back to the progress made by the space program. It is by far and away one of the best investments ever made. The green new deal can be just as successful if the country gets behind it. Given that the UK and the USA have conceded ownership of a good portion of their media outlets to an Australian that hates both places, it will never happen. The stupidification of the masses continues. It is not an accident.

Today's battle: Dig out from under all the new layers of impeachment justifications.

Trump is going to be an item on Jeopardy one day. I’ll take “PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES WHO MUST WIN TO STAY OUT OF PRISON” for $100.

Vertical speed is pretty accurate. Barometric altimeter sensor is the best sensor in iphone. So 377kmh in sit is ok. I did 420. I compared all my jumps with flysight & protrack. Unfortunately, horizontal speed depends on GPS data. GPS is not so accurate. Sometimes it is ok, sometimes it is not. There are some math algorithms inside which makes horizontal movements more precise than raw GPS data (I'm using accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers and heuristic about dive to make raw GPS better). I'm still working on math, and I'm sure it will be better and better. Igor

OMG. You're actually a human who admits to being a human??? You're in the wrong forum.

So, I've been in the market for a similar sized rig as well & did some research. Here's what I came up with based on info from the manufacturers' websites (all about 170 to 210). Getting a rigger's professional opinion would be a great idea to confirm, however. Icon I5 Mirage (G4) M5 Vector V353 Infinity I-45, I-55, I-65, I-65 N, I 74-N (Pilots only apparently for the 170's -- not sure what's specifically different about that canopy's pack volume ...) Evo Large Happy hunting.

I get really confused when you post this "Patriots in control" saying, and here's why. I served in the US Navy for 5 years, my wife for 6, and both of us are vehemently opposed to Trump's policies (rather, lack thereof), and were either of us to run for elected office, we would definitely fight tooth and nail to keep the Trump agenda from ever coming to fruition. So...what makes a patriot? I don't think that word means what you think it means. Patriotism is the vigorous love of one's country, which is a quality that I and my wife have, yet I think you're conflating that with blind support of all things nationalistic. It is not. Our country is not a perfect union; we are on the ever-changing path toward a more perfect union. The implication there is that we must continue to change for the better indefinitely. If not for that constant march toward a more perfect union, we'd still have slavery. Women would never have been given the right to vote. Segregation would still be legal. "Witches" could be burned at the stake. You could beat a woman so long as the rod used was no thicker than your thumb. Lynchings would be commonplace, as well as other hate crimes, and go unpunished (still have a long way to go on this one; police brutality toward minorities is much too common). So...what does patriotism mean to you?

Casa Grande gives you somewhere to go other than The Prop. And it has a Golden Corral where you can go to watch whales.

More than just this issue. The USPA gave 150K to the museum. The USPA caved to UPT about pull altitudes. The USPA caved to UPT on 3rd class medicals. The USPA started to fund a demo team that would 100% compete against USPA members. The USPA "approves" DZ to be GM with FAR violations. Starting to see the point?
