Hey everyone, longtime user here but it’s been quite a while since I’ve posted here consistently. Just wanted to drop in and say hello! Things have been going well with me and I’ll be starting as an REPP engineering (aerospace or mech) student at Georgia State University soon!

ULA and Bigelow Aerospace announced a partnership to hasten the commercialization of LEO, and eventually the Moon. The current specifics of the partnership include ULA providing an Atlas V 552 to launch Bigelow's next generation of expandable habs, the B330's in the 2019-20 timeframe...

So, Canada vs China just started. Anyone else watching?

In the same vein as Ye Olde Skyrim thread, here's an area to discuss any news related to Bethesda's upcoming entry into the Fallout franchise. http://kotaku.com/fallout-4-announced-for-ps4-xbox-one-pc-1708679442 http://fallout.bethsoft.com/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_%28series%29...

No major news organizations covering this yet. Massive eruption happened this evening after some minor activity since February. Here's hoping evacuations go as smoothly as possible. EDIT:Actually a Strombolian eruption.

So, the FIBA World Cup begins soon this month. As a huge basketball fan, I'm rather excited about it starting up. Anyone else planning on following it? http://www.fiba.com/basketballworldcup/2014 http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_FIBA_Basketball_World_Cup

In the spirit of the open sports threads for other major sports, here's one for people to discuss anything and everything related to the upcoming NFL season. ---------- Post added 08-09-14 at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was 08-08-14 at 05:48 PM ---------- Just started watching HBO's Hard...

An Air Algérie MD-83 with 116 on board seems to have gone missing over Mali. Hopefully this isn't another total loss of aircraft. http://online.wsj.com/articles/spains-swiftair-loses-contact-with-air-algerie-flight-1406196420

(Credit to Evil_Onyx for this discovery)So, Evil_Onyx posted the teaser trailer for this in another thread, but this looks like it deserves a dedicated topic. Bohemia Interactive(ARMA, Take On Helicopters, etc.)will apparently be making a simulator about running unmanned Mars missions. It...

On the 11th of December, it will be the 40th anniversary of the final Apollo Lunar mission's landing, and by extension, the final manned Lunar mission as of now. I've got to say, I'm a little ashamed to have forgotten about it until now though...:facepalm:

So, I mentioned this in the RCT, but figured it deserves its own thread. Xenonauts is a remake of the original X-COM by a small indie company founded by a fan for the purpose of developing this game. The game itself is set during an alternate history Cold War in 1979 during an alien invasion...

I know I've made a few blog entries about the trip, but this is the main reason for it all. A tour of KSC VC and the VAB! Endeavour is in the VAB for likely the last time in her natural environment and ready for up close viewing in her finished state as she waits for the SCA to carry her to...

So, the launch was a bust. We sat out near a causeway in the pouring rain waiting. There was an interesting "glowing" dolphin that came up to less than two meters in front of the group though, while we were there. Eh, I guess I'll try to catch the coverage on NASA TV when they reschedule it...

I guess no trip to KSC would be complete without an on site launch scrub eh? We drove out at 2:30AM, and saw it lit up beautifully on the LC-41 pad, but some range issue forced a scrub. The weather was perfect too...

So, we just got back from the bay just across from KSC! Our group visited the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo memorials there, and got some great views of the VAB and several EELV launch pads plus the SpaceX launch pad. The LC-39 pads were also visible on the far side. We spotted the RBSP Atlas V...

So, I'm here in Titusville, FL for the RBSP Atlas V 401 launch, and a full tour of KSC. Extremely excited to see all this space history and a possible launch, I'll try to update with pictures later.:) On a related note, the plane trip here from Atlanta, I got randomly asigned to Airtran's...

I recently found an interesting and complex zombie roguelike called Cataclysm. It has a huge completely randomly generated world, crafting, foraging, hunting, and more in a zombie apocalypse setting. As per usual in roguelikes, you get one life per character and you will often die hilariously...

Wow, I didn't know he needed it. It's certainly good that it went well though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-19189675

What was the best and/or worst experience you've had on a commercial airline flight? It can be any flight, international or domestic. My best was probably a flight from Tucson to Atlanta. It was a nice and new Delta Airlines B737-8 and the whole flight was rather nice. One of the worst was...
