What do you do with 5 rings chained together?

And I thought I was bad at wielding metaphors.

TWT amps have been used in microwave systems since the 2nd world war. The use of TWT in satellites are recent, as in 25-30 years ago. The NSA's LACROSSE and the new ONYX satellites use TWT amps in the finals on their radar systems. The Soviet ROARSAT's probably use them as well, or something similar, they love to overbuild their stuff.

Hell, the YF-12a used 2 TWT's in tandem in its Hughes AN/ASG-18 radar, putting out over 10MW of raw power.

But they are power gobblers, The YF-12A's ate over 40KVA of juice to operate.

This started up back in December of last year according to the forum posts. To top it off, Steve the administrator, shut off the research module since then. Why the stir now? Plura is the one that needs to be hammered that provided the software for this.

Put Les Paul up in the lineup for GH. He deserves a stage call.

Don't let it stand out in the sun too long or it'll ferment. Last thing you need is a bunch of drunk bees and a crashed hive.

One company gouging you is a thief. It takes two to make for a price fixing conspiracy. thus AntiTrust, thus the Sherman Act.

That's why the FCC is up in arms about the whole ordeal.

It's time to shoot the torp that blasts their little battle station out of the sky.

Well do you? That's the Fat Lady tuning up to sing the funeral dirge for the telecoms death grip on the wireless industry.

Let the blade of the guillotine fall and fall again! Make them feel the icy bite of the steel on their flesh, realizing the cold hard fact: Don't piss off the paying public, you may wind up in the ditch.

Fine, we'll shoot the hoaxers to the moon. That should settle their hash once and for all.

Please keep the rovers away from the actual landing sites and the trails the astronauts made. Those are a piece of history, why ruin them?

The main reason why you took manual control of the vehicle.... XEROX built the on board computer! And it broke... (tisk)

That's one of the things with finding and deploying cures for the effects of a nuclear event. It might have the effect of removing the political aspect of using nuclear weapons, to actually encouraging terrorists to actually deploy IND or the Real Thing.

This would help people, but what would clean up the contamination of the surrounding environment aside from dozers and dump trucks?

There were a lot more factors involved than just the shuttle program. There was the war in Southeast Asia that was eating up the fiscal budget. Then you had the flagging public interest. The general consensus was that we made it, we accomplished Kennedy's Goal, we beat the Russians to the moon, why should we go back? The lunar program was one of the few "Blank Check" programs that was approved by congress. And boy did NASA gobble up the funds. The evolution from the IRBM Redstone and Jupiter missiles converted to launch vehicles to the scratch built Saturn family created major milestones in R&D as well as fabrication processes. And that took a lot of money to do.

As for the tapes, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the quality of the image. You see, the data stream being sent from Honeysuckle back to the states was being compressed so it could be transmitted via the SPACETRACK network at the time. NASA corrected the problems for the remainder of the landings but the grainy, streaked image is still part of history.

Burn ban was in effect and could not shoot off the Good Stuff, so I watched movies and played games.

AdBlock... *Grovels before it.* You have saved my weekend from the nasty, nasty, nauty ad services.
To the masses that do not use AdBlock; get it, use it, pay the poor programmer for his diligent work.

They got that million dollar touchless scanner that can digitize the papers with ease, then put them into either Open Source or PDF formats.
