    What do you do for a living?

    I now work on jets under the supervision of certificated mechanics. Primarily Airbus family and some Boeing if the work flow dictates. And I'm well on my way of becoming certificated as well. @n122vu, I'm glad you're doing well. What you said hits pretty close to home for me as well.

    Hello, happy to be here.

    +1 on that. I'm somewhere on the spectrum myself and the hardest thing I'm still un-learning from my own developmental years is that it is NOT a disorder. It is NOT something 'wrong' with you. Welcome to the forum, by the way! :hello:

    Harvard researchers created solid metallic hydrogen in the lab

    Fair enough -- when I'm not grinding away at life (which is what I spend most of my time doing these days) I do seem to spend a significant amount of my brain otherwise in conjecture. I clearly misunderstood quite a bit here -- thanks for setting me straight on this.

    Harvard researchers created solid metallic hydrogen in the lab

    Admittedly physics education remembered from high school here, and after thinking about this, I'm trying to keep an open mind on this. I however am having trouble seeing how this could become man-rated approved for any kind of rocketry application any time soon. My understanding so far: 1. The...
