  1. Is that code for something, Vanessa? Buy her shots. See what happens!
  2. Is this the same guy that takes you on death marches until you're physically exhausted AND now is being verbally abusive? Come on N@, you know what the answer is here.
  3. Strip the paint off of the airplane. May not do much for the CG, but should help the weight issue... some.
  4. Ah... the good old days... we used to do this frequently on "early bird" loads at the now defunct California City Skydive drop zone...
  5. OMG! You should be spanked! Do you know how much $$ your son could sell that stuff on eBay for now-a-days!!???!
  6. This video contains content from FOX, who has blocked it on copyright grounds. Sorry about that. .
  7. If you had had your rig with you, you could have maybe gotten them to drop you off before returning!
  8. Man! How cool would it be to be a Gazillion-are and buy up some of those old aircraft and have a place and a staff to restore them just for fun! Kind of like Jay Leno, but with airplanes vs. cars!
  9. Experimental aircraft can't be used for hire...read into that what you will. All donations are gratefully accepted! And extra altitude can be obtained in the typical manner!
  10. FORTY ONE years ago!!! FUCK! I'm getting old...
  11. So you're saying there a chance that home brew could be lagered on Mercury!!??
  12. Maybe you could get N@ to provide personalized autographed photos of herself for folks employees as an appreciation award!!?? We could call it a N@'a-boy!
  13. I think it would be tough due to the maintenance costs associated with it. Check out the problems with the USS Texas - it's only got a third of the displacement of the Enterprise. The only way to actually do it profitably would be to turn the thing into floating office and shopping space. Sorry, LR, you're WAYYYY off... park it next to a Dropzone and turn it into a massive Bar-Bunkhouse-Strip Club!
  14. Oopps, my bad. I thought he was with Wallace.
  15. Holy end of an era BatMan! What will the skydiver formerly known as Paco do? I thought he was the heir-apparent? (Serious)
  16. http://www.foxnews.com/science/2012/11/21/mars-mystery-curiosity-rover-big-discovery/?intcmp=obnetwork Mars mystery: has Curiosity rover made big discovery? Published November 21, 2012 NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has apparently made a discovery "for the history books," but we'll have to wait a few weeks to find out what the new Red Planet find may be, media reports suggest. The discovery was made by Curiosity's Sample Analysis at Mars instrument, NPR reported Tuesday, Nov. 20. SAM is the rover's onboard chemistry lab, and it's capable of identifying organic compounds — the carbon-containing building blocks of life as we know it. SAM apparently spotted something interesting in a soil sample Curiosity's huge robotic arm delivered to the instrument recently. "This data is gonna be one for the history books," Curiosity chief scientist John Grotzinger, of Caltech in Pasadena, told NPR. "It's looking really good." Grotzinger said the rover team won't be ready to announce just what SAM found for several weeks yet, NPR reported. The scientists want to check and double-check the results, to make sure they're for real. The $2.5 billion Curiosity rover landed inside Mars' huge Gale Crater on Aug. 5, kicking off a two-year mission to determine if Mars has ever been capable of supporting microbial life. The car-size robot carries 10 different instruments to aid in its quest, but SAM is the rover's heart, taking up more than half of its science payload by weight. In addition to analyzing soil samples, SAM also takes the measure of Red Planet air. Many scientists are keen to see if Curiosity detects any methane, which is produced by many lifeforms here on Earth. A SAM analysis of Curiosity's first few sniffs found no definitive trace of the gas in the Martian atmosphere, but the rover will keep looking. Curiosity began driving again Friday (Nov. 16) after spending six weeks testing its soil-scooping gear at a site called "Rocknest." The rover will soon try out its rock-boring drill for the first time on the Red Planet, scientists have said.
