Dear Mrs. Iospace, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole year just to watch loving mercedes win again for whatever it was we did wrong.

W Series released a list of potential entrants: https://www.motorsport.com/w-series/news/wseries-preliminary-driver-list/4305372/

No Florsch (not sure how long she'll be recovering), no Deegan, otherwise I don't see anyone missing. There are several drivers in their 30s, which seems too old for this sort of thing. Also Carmen Jorda is on the list, ugh.

I've been googling some of the unfamiliar names on that list and there are several women who like, raced in F4 for half a season a couple years ago and then ran out of funding, but are still in their teens. It would be a shame if Jorda (who we've already established is garbage) got an opportunity ahead of someone who may have fallen through the cracks.

I have a fun fact for you.

Beagle 2 was found on mars in 2015, it had done everything it was supposed to do, landed where it should have done safely, collected data perfectly, and then when it went to transmit and phone home it couldn’t because one of the petals on the solar panel failed to open properly.

Guess who made those panels?

it was McLaren

McLaren made the actual solar panel material, not the mechanism that opens them.

wicka
Jun 28, 2007


Beagle 2 looks worse in hindsight since NASA has been killing it recently, but around the turn of the millennium there were a ton of mission failures that were pretty much all more catastrophic than a solar panel not opening. NASA had one burn up in the atmosphere because they hosed up converting between imperial and metric.

ESA chat reminds me of Cool Italian Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, who was the first person to brew espresso in space. There's a funny anecdote in Scott Kelly's book where she takes their crew mate to her hairdresser so he can learn how to cut her hair on the ISS, only for him to gently caress it up later.

Reddit is just like any other website on the planet with a massive user base. You have complete morons and some less than complete morons. The more users a site has the better chance you have of running into the people from column A. I use reddit all the time for the niche subreddits and hardly ever run into stupid meme posts and commment chains. Avoid the defaults and some of the larger subs and you won't see any of the things being talked about here. It's like sending someone to ADTRW and telling them all of SA is this way, when its clearly not. Anyway, resume poo poo posting.

1. no
2. Reddit is uniquely garbage across the board
3. the "small subs are good" defense is patently false and just illustrates that you are in too deep. sorry you are a redditor now.

What year was it that Button set the fastest time the first day of testing and then they found out that they actually installed part of the suspension upside down, then installed it correctly then car was slow as poo poo and they never looked at that suspension component again.
