Oh, if you didn't get enough of the Arms Control Apocalypse today, the Washington Post actually pointed out that Everytown USA's claim that this was the "18th School Shooting This Year" is a gigantic lie. (Safe link to John Sexton.)
I saw that claim on the local news yesterday. But, at least, they mentioned later that they meant that there had been 18 incidents of gun discharges on school grounds ... which means who knows what. I agree with what someone wrote in the last thread, that they don't seem to count inner city shootouts on school b-ball courts or yards. That would make the number too ridiculous, I guess.

Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will ever hold I heard somebody whisper, 'Please adore me' And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold Blue Moon, now I'm no longer alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own....

About the Florida shooter, CNBC was foaming at the mouth this morning with their Breaking Story - that the killer was a member of a White Nationalist group. Not a word of retraction when it was proven false.

I totally hate the phrase "blood moon". It sounds like something the Aztecs would have used. I never heard it growing up.

So, going over my sons homework I forgot about a report he had to write on countries. He chose North Korea, which when I first found out I should have had him change the country but with other real life stuff getting in the way I forgot, I read his intro and I immediately saw that he wrote North Korea is not as bad as everyone says it is because they have celebrations.
I did a double take and had to tell him the truth which was the country was evil and killed its own people. I felt kinda bad as I could see it crush him and confuse him, I don't think he could fathom what I told him NK does. I asked him if it was too late to change countries and that if it was I'd help him write his report but tell the truth.

Thanks, ace for featuring the Falcon Heavy webcast!
That launch was eagerly awaited for years, and SpaceX said that strapping three Falcon 9s turned out to be a lot more difficult than they originally thought. Elon himself gave it a 50-50 chance for success in an interview a couple of days before. Everybody, go watch the whole thing in HD on full screen with the audio turned up to eleventy. I watched it live, and then commented, "I'm glad I have cancer instead of a weak heart, because I would not have survived that." I watch every SpaceX launch. The booster landings have practically become routine. What took my heart rate into the stratosphere was watching that magnificent beast soar into the heavens flying straight and true, without blowing up on the pad or shaking itself to pieces in midair. This was a very big deal. The most powerful rocket in the world today is a great deal cheaper than the second most powerful one (Delta IV Heavy).

It sucks when you have to break part of the innocence for that kind of thing. We've been trying to explain to our youngest that not all adults should be trusted, and it bothers the heck out of me to do it. Like Santa, I'm not ready for him to lose that yet.

About the Florida shooter, CNBC was foaming at the mouth this morning with their Breaking Story - that the killer was a member of a White Nationalist group. Not a word of retraction when it was proven false.

Posted by: TheQuietMan at February 15, 2018 08:23 PM (SiINZ) Assuming it is true that a white nationalist group would take in a guy named Jesus Cruz, it is further proof that the guy was a socialist as all racist groups are.

The Falcon Heavy is roughly twice as powerful at liftoff than the second most powerful rocket, the Delta IV Heavy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCy401hkXuk Each of those cores has one engine, for a total of three. Each Falcon Heavy core has 9 less powerful engines, for a total of 27. SpaceX claims that they can lose an engine or two and still make it to orbit. Obviously, if any of the three Delta IV Heavy engines failed, it would be toast. Many experienced and knowledgeable space experts were skeptical of the Falcon Heavy, because the Soviet N-1 moon rocket had 30 engines and never made it to orbit, failing catastrophically in four launch attempts between 1969 and 1972. But SpaceX has proven that a large number of engines can work, and that gives the rocket some flexibility.

One of the Falcon 9 engines did in fact shut down on the way up in 2012 and the aerodynamic forces, in absence of the pressure from the engine, did cause it to blow out part of the fairing in a pretty festive manner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=22&v=y6zsZiVa998 The payload of chicken tendies and fresh underwear for the ISS was delivered without incident (the secondary payload failed to reach orbit but I can't seem to find if it was related to the engine failure). Posted by: hogmartin at February 15, 2018 09:17 PM (y87Qq) That happened at almost exactly the same point in the flight as the Challenger explosion. But Falcon 9 became Falcon 8 and kept chugging right along. The primary payload, the Dragon cargo capsule, made it to the ISS. The secondary payload was a test satellite that did not make it to a useful orbit. But that was because of NASA mission rules. The second stage was not allowed to restart because it was not certain that it wouldn't put the secondary payload into an orbit that might endanger the ISS. I'm not blaming the NASA mission rules, and every participant knew them going in. Posted by: rickl at February 15, 2018 09:33 PM (sdi6R) 293

Being older than dirt, I watched JFK deliver his going to the moon speech. Following that, it seemed like Cape Canaveral was launching something every other day. I remember John Glenn orbiting Earth for the first time. I remember the moon landings.
One day, in the late '80s, I suddenly realized we weren't launching nothing. Then we started the shuttle program. I cried when Challenger blew up, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Watching Elon Musk's SpaceX program is a dream come true. We're doing it! We are really and truly going back into space! I just hope I live long enough to see a sustainable colony on the moon and a walk on Mars.
