I had no idea those sparklers on the launch pad were to ignite the leftover hydrogen. I had always assumed the were what was starting the engines initially, like igniting an Oxy acetylene torch.

AzureSkys posted:SCE to AUX Cool, I hadn't heard this story before. If you're interested, here's the Wikipedia summary. It's a great example of conductivity for my students next year. The lightening tracked along the exhaust trail since it was full of ions! Wikipedia posted:Apollo 12 launched on schedule from Kennedy Space Center, during a rainstorm. It was the first rocket launch attended by an incumbent US president, Richard Nixon. Thirty-six and one half seconds after lift-off, the vehicle triggered a lightning discharge through itself and down to the Earth through the Saturn's ionized plume. Protective circuits on the fuel cells in the service module (SM) detected overloads and took all three fuel cells offline, along with much of the command and service module (CSM) instrumentation. A second strike at 52 seconds after launch knocked out the "8-ball" attitude indicator. The telemetry stream at Mission Control was garbled. However, the vehicle continued to fly correctly; the strikes had not affected the Saturn V instrument unit. Malachi Constant has a new favorite as of 23:26 on May 31, 2019 |

I think this guy qualifies for the thread. Andy Detwiler is a farmer from Ohio with a youtube channel. He videos himself doing day to day tasks around the farm. Oh, and he has No Arms! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHIGor387P0

Phy posted:That tricycle atv is more lethal than any barbarian axe he ever painted Do you wish you could mix the weight and awkward high speed handling of a quad, with the instability of a dirt bike? How do you feel about a machine that lusts for human blood? If you love all those things ride a trike ATV! I learned how to ride on one of those. If your body isn’t hanging off the inside side the trike in a turn you’re gonna roll. Those machines are happiest upside down, pinning an injured rider to the ground. With an Quad or a dirtbike you can feel when you hit the edge of your cornering capability and tone it down. With the trike you are just suddenly past it and it’s rolling. My friend took a turn too hard and it rolled and put the shifter pedal into her calf. Like just right in there. It created a new cavity in her body. Those abominations should only be ridden by its creators and marketers as punishment.

every single person i know who had or drove one of those things managed to either hurt themselves or narrowly avoid certain death (usually self inflicted) on one.

My brother did this through his abdomen with the handle of a bicycle, after the rubber grip had come off, so it was just a metal cylinder. When he pulled the handle out (or rather, lifted his body off the handle), the plug of human flesh was still inside the tube; it had taken a perfect circle out of him like a cookie cutter.

I think I know your brother. Are you from Cleveland? Then again it’s probably somewhat common.

I also rode a trike ATV around potholed country roads while not wearing a helmet and I have baffled Christendom by continuing to live.

They're not so bad if ridden strictly on sand dunes, I flipped 4 or 5 times and it's a nice soft landing, provided it also doesn't land on you. On asphalt is tantamount to suicide.

Some depictions of him are more badass than others. It is his own skin he carries around  As a bonus, apparently H.R. Geiger has been alive and working for 500 years.
