Toys recommends Discord to all TESTies regularly for good reason. Even I can tell it's the place for the cool and happenin' peeps. Just go. Won't kill you.

Thanks! I had never seen this above.

That has been the rumor for some time, and the rumor proved to be true in part since they did rework the frame and gave the larger door to all the variants. If you'll recall, the Hoplite originally had a different frame with a wider ramp to servcie the squad function, and it was not swappable...

Happy Birthday! I want to thieve your waffles.

Sounds just right save I would not go hot anywhere they brag about making your food inedibly hot. Places like that I order medium. Some people go too far.

True, and they may leave it, but since the time that ships like the Polaris and even the Redeemer were planned, the available guns have gotten larger. I think the Kraken has S8 guns. IIRC, when the Polaris was designed, the chin mount was supposed to be S6, and that was the largest mount...

I'm curious now that they have added S6-10 weapons if there is a plan to adjust ships in the pipeline. The Polaris' guns seem undersized given the mounts on the HH.

Very cool. If we ever get to build our own digs at KSC, maybe you can design them for us! I'm hoping for a 100 year lease on all the lands West of the old Shuttle landing strip, so enough to put all operations at the same location, developing over decades. It is extremely inefficient to have...

WOOT!!! Nimitz class! Rock on, brother!

Part of my training is in philosophy of technology, and I have been very focused on space sciences for the last 15 years. So by studying how spacecraft do what they do, it naturally occurs how one might improve this or that. So instead of sitting down to ask "what can I invent?", I ask "how...

Most startups do begin with an exit strategy in mind, where they hope to go IPO within 5 years. We're not that way at all. Especially if the thruster works, we're expecting exponential growth for more than the next decade, so leaving before then doesn't make sense unless you want to retire...

I somehow missed the Hawk was flying. So have you used the EMP on it? What do you think of it?

I had a similar experience. Not only did I pursue a PhD because my ex wanted me to teach at university, but I changed careers twice, so now I have three undergraduate majors, a minor and I work in a seemingly unrelated field. My friends give me grief pretty often for all the hours I work...

Great review. Yeah, I think Jedi Academy was the last of this kind, and I loved that game. I have to say I understand the cheering for single player, because interacting with any other players does tend to break immersion. Almost no one roleplays in group games. So if what you want is...

The only propellantless solution that does not propose to violate the Conservation of Momentum, nor any other canon physics: https://www.nasa.gov/directorates/spacetech/niac/2018_Phase_I_Phase_II/Mach_Effect_for_In_Space_Propulsion_Interstellar_Mission/ I was a member of the team at Fullerton...

I'm an inventor and CEO of a small aerospace startup. We have over a dozen IPs to bring to market within about 2 years and the first 3-4 within a year. Our most important work however is the most speculative and highest risk--it is in advanced propulsion development. Actually, I have a...

No, no, no! Say it ain't so! I am so tired of people screwing with our language to control our minds. It is all an evil plot! EVIL I TELL YOU!!!

I'm not offended and certainly anyone can hold whatever opinion they like! I will own I am always defensive of George Lucas and his contributions. George has gotten dumped on mightily since the forth movie came out, and honestly there are very few storytellers in history who have worked so...

People dress up at SC events, and carry cool looking guns. You can win friends and influence people if you shoot cheeze at them. Behold, the power of cheese.
