First Images of Black Holes Revealed
You can actually see the black holes because they're wreathed by hot plasma that's orbiting it at high speeds. Well, I mean, I guess technically you still can't see them. Because they're just black holes.

I was really busy at work today. Our color copier was down all day yesterday and I was scrambling to catch up.
I forgot all about the Beresheet lunar lander. I saw the link in the sidebar and clicked it just in time to hear the announcement that the landing had failed. Oh, well. It did pretty good considering it was a small spacecraft on a shoestring budget compared to previous lunar landers.
Look at the Ranger probes back in the early 1960s. They were designed to photograph the moon before crashing into it. The technology for soft landings hadn't been fully developed at that time.
But the first six attempts failed for a variety of reasons. The second stage failed to relight, the spacecraft went off course and missed the moon entirely, communications with the spacecraft were lost in midflight, and in one case it flew perfectly but the cameras failed to turn on.
It wasn't until Ranger 7 that we had a success. America couldn't even properly crash a probe into the moon back then.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I was nervous about this launch. The test flight seemed too good to be true. But SpaceX has proven that it was no fluke. Well done!

Many executives wanted Disney to expand beyond G-rated family films, which seemed doomed in the early 80s. They even wanted to do R rated material. The old guard resisted.
The board decided to stake their future on this live-action Christmas film. If it did well, the old way would stay.
It flopped. They created Touchstone Pictures and green-lighted Down and Out in Beverly Hills as a result.

It wasn't proven by the eclipse. It was just a prediction of GR about the bending of light by the sun's gravitational field was confirmed. It was a key prediction, and made people at the time say, hmmmm, Uncle Al is probably on to something here.

Flew with my buddy in his plane down to the SAC museum at Offut AFB last year. They have an SR71 Blackbird hanging there when you walk in. The thing is still classified in many ways. But the tour guide said the engine could expand and contract as much as 4 inches due to heat, altitude etc. They apparently would wait to start putting certain fluids into it until it got warmed up. Those things are fucking cool!

The DNC not only had zero issues with Robert Byrd having been a grand wizard of the KKK, they continued to revere him throughout his entire tenure in the Senate. Including him being wheeled into the Senate and having aids hold pens to "write" his signature. When he died , his funeral was a DNC fest and to this day, I don't hear any Democrat demanding that the thousand or so Robert Byrd bridges, streets, lakes, streams, hospitals, schools, and highways in WV be renamed.

There is no excuse for having forgotten about exactly how that project went wrong from the start.
That came from the same Progressives that gave us the Challenger disaster. Congress wouldn't fund the original design because they said it was too expensive (the first time in history that's ever been said by them), so NASA had to settle for a less safe design where the vehicle and crew were expendable in the first two minutes of flight.
That never needed to happen. Politicians are not engineers and should be kept far away from complex pieces of machinery such as wheelbarrows and the like.

we orbit the sun because it has huge mass ... if it all collapsed into the size of a tennis ball, the mass would be the same, so the orbit remains the same. as I understand it ...
that is why there are pictures of the mass swirling around the black hole. But we miss out on the experience of time warp and other dimensions, that allegedly happens, as in sci-fi and worm holes ... we'll have to trust God to route us through the immensity of the density ... or some such.

That is the only remaining XB-70. And the Air Force Museum also has a YF-12A in the Annex (you have to take a bus to go see it). The YF-12A has a more rounded fusilage, and also has a lower ventral Aileron that snaps into position (downward) after the plane takes off. The YF-12A was meant to be an interceptor for the USAF and was supposed to be more manueverable.
There is also an X-15 at the Museum (only two remain) and a bunch of other really unique stuff. They don't have a Space Shuttle (rats), but have an aerospace area with mainly missiles. I was there once some years ago, and there were a bunch of Russians taking it all in. Always an international crowd there to see stuff.
Everytime I go, I always see new stuff (I've been there about 25 times over the years). Last time Shibumi went with me, and she got to stand underneath a B-52, in the bomb bay. It was about one of her favorite movies "Dr. Strangelove".

The P-38 is one of my favorites, too. I like the story of Lindburgh helping sort the fuel efficiency issues to help the P-38 become a true threat in the Pacific Island hopping campaign, despite him being a dirty commie.

Hot Airs comments section used to be like the HQ. Except you had to have a user name to login and comment, and they only opened registration once per year or so. Then AP decided it was too much work even with that to weed out the trolls, or so he says, so they went to FB commenting. It effectively killed the comments.

The P-38, the F-104, the P-80, the U-2 and the SR-71.
Okay, what do they all have in common?
Anyone? Bueller?
Clarence "Kelly" Johnson. Brilliant Lockheed engineer.
I knew the late General Glenn McClernon, and he flew P-38's in WWII. He told us a story once, that they were ferrying P-38's from the UK to North Africa. To make the trip, the P-38's had to strip out everything from the plane, including radios, etc. And they flew following a B-17 which was doing the navigating.
They were flying over French (Vichy) N. Africa, and they started shooting at them, and they all split up and got lost.
Glenn flew for hours, and when he was just about out of fuel, found a landing strip, and put his P-38 down. It was pouring down rain, and he said he was so exhausted (been flying like 12-13 hours) that he just crawled out of the cockpit and laid on the wing. It was an Allied air strip, so the story ended ok.

flounder - Lindy was a commie?? Think he had late 30s "America First" issues - if not pro-German, then opposed to US involvement in Europe. But a commie?
Didn't know he helped with the P-38. I've mentioned here before that I was amazed to learn he also helped with dropping ordnance from the F-4U Corsair. He was a contractor, flew with active Navy squadrons doing actual missions against bypassed Japanese-held islands in the central Pacific.
And I think it was in Hornfischer's book about the USS Houston and crew (Ghost Ship?), which ended up being a lot about the Burma Railway saga, as many of the crew were sent to work on that - he mentioned British/Aussie/US POWs seeing new types of aircraft overhead, and being encouraged by that. Types that didn't exist when they went into captivity.

I have a friend here, 88 years old now, who was a Corsair pilot in the Korean War. When he first told me that, I said "Korean War? No way!" but I looked it up, and they were kept on as a front line fighter until 1953, the last of the WW2 fighters to go. Still, the new MiG's were just to fast for them, so they quickly got phased out. But he told me that one guy in his unit actually caught a MiG by surprise one day and managed to shoot it down with his Corsair. Only time he knew of that happening.

The Mig-25 was built to try to intercept the SR-71 and the B-70 (never built), but by the time a Mig - 25 got up to Mach 3, it was out of fuel.

The media has been training us since roughly 2009.
The other thing they have been doing consistently is making sure to build controversy - usually by lying - around even tragic stories. In other words, they have trained us to divide even in tragedy. This is so that not even another 9/11 can ever bring (most of) us together again.

It's kind of funny, the Mig-25 (or the what the US thought it was) inspired the F-15. By the time we had a Mig-25 to play with (thank you, Lt. Belenko) and found out it was a one trick pony that was effectively obsolescent with the US moving away from high altitude high speed bombers, the F-15 was well into production I think. The Russians didn't really managed to counter the F-15 until the Mig-29 was built (aka, the "Baaz" or Eagle in Russian).

Nothing comes out. Gets broken down into subatomic particles and compressed extremely dense.

I don't know what he exact figures, but I read something like one cubic inch of matter in a black hole would weigh as much as the earth and moon combined. I may be even low-balling it there.

It's kind of funny, the Mig-25 (or the what the US thought it was) inspired the F-15. By the time we had a Mig-25 to play with (thank you, Lt. Belenko) and found out it was a one trick pony that was effectively obsolescent with the US moving away from high altitude high speed bombers, the F-15 was well into production I think. The Russians didn't really managed to counter the F-15 until the Mig-29 was built (aka, the "Baaz" or Eagle in Russian).

The MIG 29 is an excellent fighter..........except for it's really short range. Russian jet engines aren't sippers.
