    Descartes Problem (CTD: "HUDTEX.dds")

    I had the same problem. The files are there, they just ended up in the wrong place. I can't remember what folder they ended up in, but they are there. Have your computer search the main Obiter folder. Once you know where they are you can just move them to the correct folder.

    World War II bomb to be exploded

    They often dropped bombs with timer fuses in them, some of them set to go off days later. The bomb was supposed to detonate while rescue crews were looking for survivors or while crews were clearing debris. It was meant to demoralize the population.

    New Spaceplane Project

    The aerodynamic changes for the first stage look great. A lot of the more recent studies into high Mach performance seem to be more linear than the compound curves that appeared in all the concept art from 20-30 years ago. You mentioned using LH/LOX as fuel. Are you looking at LH for the first...

    Not only does it allow us to see the links between atom within molecules, it has also been used in experiments dealing with the manipulation of individual atoms. Contructing molecule one atom at a time allows for a whole new level of reserch for physics and chemistry.

    Funny ooops moments

    One of the first times I did a runway takeoff with the Delta Glider from KSC I crashed due to pilot error. When I was looking at the screen right after the crash the terrain look really weird. When I crashed I some how ended up inside the Earth so I was looking up through the ground.:unknown:

    Serious butt problem.

    You may also want to consider a hot patch for the crack in your butt. With the right material it would weld itself into place making your butt as strong as it was when new. Of course there are hazards to putting any kind of hot material into a butt crack, a few safety precautions would make it a...
