umalt posted:Just a question for people who'd know the answer. Since you can go blind by watching a total solar eclipse, wouldn't watching the same thing with the moon at ISS distance still cause blindness? The thing that's bad for your eyes in a solar eclipse is you're staring at the sun, not that you're staring at the moon. The moon might have significant enough albedo at ISS distance to cause eye damage when full but I doubt it. Bip Roberts has a new favorite as of 09:00 on Feb 22, 2015 |

Pound_Coin posted:The Harrier has a pretty good track record, Are you thinking of the V22 Osprey? that's another VTOL capable aircraft that IS in fact a deathtrap (36 confirmed kills so far, only one of which was in a combat zone) No, Harriers actually fall out of the sky all the time and they basically fixed the Osprey's crashing problems. The difference is there's one person in a Harrier and they can eject. An Osprey is chocked full of delicious marines to charbroil.

Maybe you do get punched in the face for a living but I'm guessing you don't get punched in the face for a living.

Istari posted:I'm amazed by how much this didn't make me go "wow!". By which I mean I'm stunned by how effortless it looks. He just hangs in the air for ages, then lands so smoothly. If you watch the video there are about 30 tries of people eating poo poo hard before someone happened to luck on to the correct rotational speed.

You can see the amtrack rails in the background behind the launch pad and you go right by there if you take the train between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo, which is a great train trip.
