If I tell you to choke on a dick, is that a sexual reference?

Re: oh wow.


I have been watching this series too. Pretty amazing. The shit NASA accomplished back in the day when you could put 100s of engineers on a task. Today we put 1 engineer and a computer powered by microsoft and intel on the same problem. And we end up with problems like having an unmanned craft crash on Mars because that person/computer combo didn't convert to Metric in their retrorocket firing program.

NASA seems lost to me today....sad.

That's on tonight.

I also watched the whole series. Some really amazing footage. Like the "declassified" detonation of the SRB's when the Challenger exploded.

BTW, RIP all those who gave their lives to get up there and do what they do.

And don't forget. All slide rules and all the ships had less processing power than one of todays calculators. Ask an engineer from today to do it with that and they would tell you "impossible"

Yeah, that series is exceptionally well done. One of the few times I wish I paid extra for HD.
