LifeSunDeath posted:it's pretty goddamn OSHA that they would force dudes to just stand all clumped up and advance slowly when someone's also slowly pointing cannons at them. This is from a few days ago, but I'm living in the past, sorry. One of the main reason to have infantry in close order is to avoid getting murdered by cavalry, which would jump at any sign of infantry units losing cohesion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97dBfdNrf9A You would still have infantry fighting in loose formation, your light infantry, jaegers, chasseurs-a-pied/voltigeurs, rifles, etc, and even line infantry, circumstances permitting. But they would be dependent on having some sort of counter to being overrun by cavalry, be it rough terrain, falling back to main lines, etc.

Sagebrush posted:Eh that's middling for a space vehicle. One of the 17 manned Saturn missions killed all the crew and another one very nearly did. I think his point stands though. Having no launch escape system was so weird the soviets assumed they must have one, somehow. And riding up with your heatshield exposed opened you up to enormous risk.

There's not a lot of shielding between you and the reactor, the design relies mostly on the water around it to be devoid of anything sensitive to radiation.

EvenWorseOpinions posted:I feel like there should be a WOW switch to keep that from happening There is, and that is allegedly the problem. Turns out, they had an informal practice of flipping the landing gear handle up before taking off, so as soon as the weight-on-wheels solenoid tripped, the gear would fold up. Seems like this aircraft however got a bounce or jolt that prematurely tripped it.

Wingsuits are interesting in that the more experienced you get, the closer to death you are; as they just fly lower and lower.Z the IVth posted:Given the correct conditions (not doing a trench run impression), is it possible for someone in a wingsuit to slow their fall sufficiently to survive/land without a parachute? People have survived free fall in terminal velocity, so basically anything is "theoretically possible".

Wingnut Ninja posted:A touch screen can become any kind of display panel and set of controls that you want it to. Rather than having banks upon banks of switches and readouts crammed in all over the cabin, you can consolidate it all right in front of the astronaut's face. I can imagine that being pretty helpful in most situations. You know MFDs exist, right? This is a solved problem. Combined with some sort of hands-on control device with contextual inputs.

Sydin posted:He also apparently approached the runway way too low and when the tower told him he replied "I'll manage."

TheAlmightyFrog posted:The one time I took Amtrak we had this issue and were 4+ hours late going from Chicago to St. Louis waiting for cargo trains, which is about a 4 hour car ride. But I had no car, too young to rent at the time, and it was cheaper than a plane ticket. Riding the train was a neat experience, and I still think it could be fun to do a long trip out west sometime as long as you had a sleeper car, but as far as doing it as a legitimate travel option it's just not worth it if timeliness is an issue. Uthor posted:What if the train cars were all independently powered and could go over flat ground, not relying on rails, and each just went at their own pace from origin to destination? Incredible  energy. Just because you guys haven't figured it out, doesn't mean quality passenger rail is impossible.
