So, what do you think of the Crew Dragon launch? I really don't like the idea of touchscreen only controls inside the capsule. Physical switches always wins for me.

Christ on a crutch that's horrifying. I hated using the touchscreen to change radio stations in the ute while driving, trying to control anything important with one would be a nightmare let alone doing it while being shot into loving space.

Don't worry, after something goes wrong on launch, the crew being unable to successfully activate the abort system will be blamed on pilot error instead of the fucktarded interface "design".

Postmortem analysis of the ashes shows the pilot had consumed a cannabis brownie within 2 weeks of launch and this intoxication was the probable cause of the crash

A co-worker of mine was having his basement poured on a new house. He was one of the ones troweling the cement around while the truck pumped it in. Long story short, some sloshed into both of his boots, he ended up getting chemical burns on his legs and now he has absolutely no leg hair. Not really any scarring though, so he was lucky.

There are also a race of sentient birds, the only actual aliens in the Battletech universe. The birds are really dumb and serious business Battletech players hate them. So goons being goons when it came to Mechwarrior online would open matches shouting 'Squawk' in chat which pissed people off endlessnessly. A 'Squawk' in chat indicated something really dumb was about to happen in your game involving goons. It was hilarious.

The Falcon 9 has run the entirety of it's launch sequence in a closed loop mode for years. I'm reminded of the Space Shuttle having a return to base abort mode at launch (basically the shuttle does a loop de loop immediately after launch) and when asked about trying it out the test pilot responded with "We don't need to practice Russian roulette."

The pilots don't have control other than very minor course corrections during docking and the tray beneath the screens flip down and there are physical controls there in case of screen malfunction.

Bumble Dong posted:Hmm maybe I’m getting it confused with another nuclear hell. I thought they had a giant platform where they suspended planes over a pit You are thinking of the ATLAS-I electromagnetic pulse testing facility, which simulated the EMP effect of a nuclear blast on aircraft systems without having to set off a nuclear weapon. Also, as a college professor whose field overlaps materials science I was pretty fascinated by the concept of Lockwood, and I managed to get a copy of the original technical article through an inter-library loan from Georgia Tech. Turns out it's not just the spooky "irradiated wood gets hard and strong" thing that everyone thinks. Rather, Lockwood is pine wood that is soaked in methyl methacrylate (plexiglass, lucite) monomers, then put into the nuclear reactor to polymerize it into a wood-plastic composite. The unique advantage of triggering the polymerization with radiation is that you can penetrate deeply inside the material and ensure it's completely cured all the way through. Less-dangerous radiation like UV light can't penetrate the wood, and triggering the reaction chemically before soaking won't give you enough time to fully saturate the wood before it cures. Basically, Lockwood is more like a solid block of carbon-fiber composite than just a super-strong wood. It's still a totally unique material to my knowledge.
