    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    I didn't know Konzelmann at all 👀 As for the other two guys, yeah, my impression always was that they were a little bit overbearing and arrogant, like they knew it all. As if the Arabic world would give a god damn thing about two old reporter dudes from Germany. But it's OT anyway 😇

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    Given that Suni and Butch love their jobs, I don't think it's a dramatic news for them. It likely might be the last mission of their career anyway, due to their ages I guess, so I imagine they actually enjoy their bonus stay on the ISS already now. And it's not that they were not aware of the...

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    OT: It's not really that I "celebrate" the good old days. It's more like certain stuff that knocks my socks off is "accidentally" from the past 🤷‍♂️ Present stuff mostly just bores me or even bothers me. But it's not because it's from the present. It's because it is simply boring. Especially TV...

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    "Rescue" just sells better than a plain "return", especially regarding a topic that usually bores the shit out of most people. Journalism turned into a giant clickbait campaign by editors and random authors, since the internet became the basic source of information for many people. That's why I...

    News Paris 2024 Olympic Games

    I think it's due to the agressive war in Ukraine first of all 🤷‍♂️ Speaking of corruption, let's not talk about Russia in this context 😅

    News Paris 2024 Olympic Games

    Well, I'm not reluctant to sports. I'm just not interested in watching others doing competitions. I love cycling and swimming for example. I have a bycicle ergometer and a treadmill at home, and I use it daily for many years (45 min. / 5.5 hrs a week currently). On vacation, which is always at a...

    News Paris 2024 Olympic Games

    Believe it or not, I also missed the European football shampionship, completely (same counts for any world championship). I don't know a single player name (both, first name + last name) or only one gane result. I don't even know any rule of football 😇 But it's simply because I never cared. I...

    News Paris 2024 Olympic Games

    I don't really want to turn this thread into an off topic, sociopolitical discussion. Meanwhile I handle the topic by a complete boycott, which includes expressing my personal opinion publically. Never heard of Gojira. But I'm not a real metal fan anyway 🤷‍♂️ And I know only one song from...

    News Paris 2024 Olympic Games

    I don't watch it since I don't support the political "message" related to it. But I didn't watch it for more than 30 years anyway. I think the last one I watched was Barcelona '92, due to lack of TV stations and no internet back then 😂

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    So, this would be the first failed manned test flight. At least they don't have to leave the vehicle on parachutes before landing, like Gagarin... Good that this was a flight to the ISS. Maybe they could load Starliner with trash and let it burn up in the atmosphere, so that the capsule still...

    Skylab 1973 rebuild

    Nice project (y) Silly question: was the ATM actually built out of an existing structure of a Lunar Module's descent stage?

    Updates Boeing's CST-100 Starliner

    An airliner has nothing to do with a manned spacecraft. It's a different branch with different people involved. The 737 might be discusses in another thread or in an airliner forum.

    That's a nice one. I love documentaries from the 1950s to 1980s anyway. It wasn't about eye candy pictures causing ADHD and an epileptic fit while watching. It was about content and explanation.

    At least it already looks rusty 😜
