Wednesday Overnight Open Thread - February 26, 2025 [TRex]
Good evening Horde. The time has come for mid-week shenanigans of the overnight variety.
This is the Wednesday night ONT. You might sense a theme this week.

Called the Victory Vertical or G.I. Steinways, the pianos were sometimes airdropped onto battlefields to provide a bit of relaxation. They were manufactured in Steinway's Queens factory and mostly sold to the U.S. government. At first, Steinway was prohibited from building pianos due to government restrictions on iron, copper, brass, and other raw materials. The factory bided its time producing coffins and parts for troop transport gliders, until it was granted a contract to send specially designed pianos to commissioned war soldiers. Steinway proceeded to make over 3,000 "Victory Vertical" pianos designed specifically for troops in battle between 1942 and 1953. The pianos came in olive, blue, and gray drab. In 1942, the first "Victory Vertical" was dropped by parachute, complete with tuning equipment and instructions.

Apparently there is this trend called "transmaxxing," in which men switch gender and live as females not because they think they were born in the wrong body or whatever, but because they're upset they keep striking out with women on dates and believe women have an easier time of it, so why not join the winning team?
The leaders of this "movement" have written manifestos about this, saying their goals are to get free drinks at bars and eventually become tradwives for an alpha male.

Although my dearly departed Pop spent 99% of his time in the European Theater fighting the Krauts, he was an accomplished sax player going into the war. He somehow confiscated a sax whilst there and was able to entertain his fellow soldiers every now an then. You were a good man, Pop. Miss you bigly.

I mean, they aren't wrong that it is harder to be a man then probably any time in the past but...you can't become a woman and no high status man is going to want them anyway.
TBH, I think part of this tranny stuff started off as the left elite recognizing they'd created a problem by importing so many third world men and making so many western women unappealing feminists...so just get some of the lower status men to go tranny and become the women for other lower status men

Literally, reserve a motel room nearby. It will take you AT LEAST 2 days, probably three, maybe 4, to go through the whole thing and actually admire things.
The place is enormous, with 4 huge quonset hut style buildings. For a sense of scale, there is a complete B-36 in one, and it takes up less than 10% of the floor space. I think they have one of every combat aircraft the AAF/AF has ever flown. Yes, right in front is Wright Brothers #3, which they sold to the Army. There's also some planes from others, like a Zero.

Plastic model ships: Fill with lighter fluid, float in a mud puddle, set on fire, watch it burn to the water line.
Plastic model cars: Fill with lighter fluid, set on fire, wait until the plastic got melty, push it off the garage roof and let it smash on the driveway. Inspect the mangled result.
It's really amazing that none of my cohort ever wound up in the burn ward and/or set the house on fire.

In the 60s we also entertained ourselves for many an hour with homemade parachutes. Get a handkerchief or a larger square cloth if you could find one. Tie equal length strings to the four corners.

I was actually just making a joke, as I have only tangential knowledge of what goes into an aetonautical engineering career. I do have two younger brothers with degrees in aeronautical engineering. One, after retiring from the Marines as the back seater (aka passenger) on an FA-18 (think the 18B to be precise, but don't hold me to it) now works with NASA (though his paychecks come from some university in California.) He does a lot of traveling to India coordinating our joint ventures with them. The other, while interning for NASA during college took an interest in nuclear power, so signed up with the Navy for their nuclear school. He is currently on a team that inspects the Navy nuclear reactors, and is on the promotion list to get his Captain's eagle.
As I recall, neither of them were all that particularly gifted at making paper airplanes.

I'll always remember the chimps in a Far Side cartoon. Female chimp to male, while plucking a long blonde hair off his body: "So... conducting "research" with that Jane Goodall tramp again?"
Her organization threatened to sue Gary Larson until Goodall herself got wind of it and put a stop to it. She herself thought the cartoon was hilarious.

Of course the lander was constructed by a private company, and it was launched on a Musk Falcon 9.
To tell you the truth, I'm not sure what NASA even does nowadays.
I hope DOGE is looking into it, though I'm sure there'll be much screeching if Musk is associated with a NASA cutback.

Yes and yes. NASA cut back the number of astronauts on a later mission so that the total number on board was back to normal, so the "stranded" astronauts have just been there a couple of extra cycles.
And that air leak in the Russian section has not yet caused an unscheduled rapid disassembly, though some people (Elon Musk) are suggesting that the thing should be guided back to a controlled crash into an ocean so before it has an uncontrolled crash somewhere populated. (I know you are all only 29, so probably don't remember all the hoopla when SkyLab was making a re-entry. I want to say that happened in 1979, plus or minus two years.)

There are four payloads on this lunar mission. Main one is a lander which will land at the lunar south pole and drill samples to check water content and availability.
Second, there is a "micro-hopper" thingy. It will bounce around, means of locomotion being little rockets that bounce it across the surface. It's going to go down in a permanently shadowed crater, and maybe even venture inside a lava tube.
There is also some test of 4G cellular comms between the payloads on a lunar environment.

I'm pretty sure I watched the same launch but it was SpaceX and a Falcon 9. Does the KSC complex make it NASA? Just curious. No Starlinks, but at least 3 payloads including one lunar lander

SpaceX has one launch site on KSC property, LC-39A (former Saturn and Space Shuttle launch site, Apollo 11 launched from it). SpaceX has one launch site in the adjacent Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40), originally a Titan III launch site.

The chapel footage is stock. The chapel has been covered with a giant canvas box for a while now as they rehab it. The aluminum ended up with problems with leaks and corrosion.
Arnold Hall is one of the 5 places a cadet spends ALL their time, along with the dorms, academic hall, gym, and the dining hall. If you can't get off base on the weekend you're there.

When NASA owns the satellite or space probe, the mission is a 'NASA mission' and NASA broadcasts it and does launch commentary.
Almost all NASA stuff nowadays is launched on commercial boosters launched from pads located in the military's Cape Canaveral Space Force Station (CCSFS). SpaceX Falcon 9, Delta, and Atlas vehicles launch from pads in CCSFS. A few NASA satellites - for high-inclination/polar - orbits launch from Vandenberg SFS on the California coast. And some NASA stuff, including the Cygnus resupply missions to ISS, launch from the NASA Wallops Flight Facility on the Virginia coast. The only booster NASA owns and operates today is the Space Launch System, for Orion manned spacecraft lunar missions. Those are launched from KSC Launch Complex-39B.

He talks about the 6-story staircase, but doesn't mention the Special Collection at the top. Full of Academy history (ALL the yearbooks for the last 65 years), it also has fantastic research stuff, like books of letters home from members of the Lafayette Escadrille.
When I was last there, though, the library doesn't really have books on its main floor, like it used to. It's all pods and such for group study. Crying shame that is.
We didn't have no footprints to stand on, neither. We had to immediately learn to dress a line. Young whippersnappers don't know what harsh is.
Holy crap! The fencers have a much bigger area than they used to!
The 10m platform is more than "another box you've checked." It weeds a few people out of the program every year. And you don't "jump" off, you step off. Jumping is a good way to end up unconscious in the water.

The falcons are maintained and handled almost entirely by cadets. It's a "club" and it's one that is very hard to get into. The first part of training involves literal chickenshit (cleaning the chick cages for the birds that will grow up to feed all the raptors). We had about 9 hawks and falcons of various sorts when I was there.
The powered flight program when I was there was basically mandatory if you were physically qualified. If you could physically qualify, you went. Why else would you be at the Academy if you didn't want to be a pilot? (What are you, a Grunt? There's a place in NY for people like you.)
Also, the soaring program came before the powered flight program. If you couldn't handle a sailplane, well... you probably couldn't handle a powered aircraft. So it was a discriminator for the T-41s (Cessna 172s).
And, no, you don't put on the rank of "lieutenant" when you graduate. You put on the rank of Second Lieutenant. This isn't the Navy, bro. You should know better.

First thing they can do is cancel that boondoggle SLS and Orion. Well at least the SLS, and I'm 90% convinced Orion needs to go.
There'll be howls, and that's sunk-cost fallacy at work.
IF you look at the current NASA Artemis plan to get back to the Moon, it involves using Starship as the lunar lander. But SLS carries the astronauts on an Orion on top of the SLS to lunar orbit. It docks with the Starship in Lunar orbit.
TO get Starship to the Moon, which is a big payload, the plan is to launch multiple Starship "tankers" and refuel in LEO.

There are some technical problems I was reading. Like making sure Starship have enough fuel to get to the Moon and back, taking off from the lunar surface.

On the Moon, with say artillery, where you can achieve orbital velocity, you could hit a target just about anywhere on the lunar surface.
I remember looking at this a long while back. To have complete coverage, all you'd need to do is put just a small bit of maneuvering capability on the shell payload, and you could indeed hit anywhere easily.

A Gazeta Polska investigation reveals millions in U.S. taxpayer dollars under Biden were funneled into Polish groups working to undermine PiS and push left-wing policies.
USAID grants allegedly funded activist groups, progressive media, and efforts to silence conservative outlets like TV Republika by pressuring advertisers.
The report also exposes U.S. money backing pro-LGBT activism in schools and campaigns to discredit Poland’s border security policies.

One time I sent one up so well it literally flew better than 70 feet high and at least a quarter mile until I lost sight of it in the wild blue yonder. Chased it until it just simply outpaced us and disappeared out of the subdivision and into the countryside. Greatest flight of my childhood *tears of joy*.

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir was pretty much a copy of Topper.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 27, 2025

Ghost as a TV show was done as a comedy, I think. But the original 1940s (?) movie, while it had humor, was more dramatic, a love story. Rex Harrison as the irascible captain, and Gene Tierney as Mrs. Muir, who buys his house and finds he still haunts it. Grand stuff.
Topper, the novel, movie (w/ Cary Grant), and TV show, was always a comedy. In the TV version, Leo G. Carroll was Topper -- and he had worked with Cary Grant at least twice that I can remember.

Morning, Puddleglum,
Yes, she passed away in 2015. When I found out in early January, I sent her mother a card and short letter to their house. No reply, and it hasn't come back as undeliverable. I assume her mother doesn't want to hear from me.
Well, some people have manners and some don't. I am now free to go back to thinking that family is two steps above trailer trash.
Either that, or her mother, now 84, is gaga and her granddaughter doesn't know who the hell I am.
