That would be great! Get them with the cursive name patches, too. And might as well strap on elbow pads by default for working under the desks!

You know, I'm not sure if there was an explicit dress code beyond "shirt and tie," or if it was simply a case of everybody following Kranz's lead. I'm fairly certain that engineers were originally expected to wear suits, but somewhere along the line that rule was relaxed and short sleeves permitted due to the heat generated by all the equipment.
Mission control, 1960's, shall forever be the exemplar of true nerd fashion. However, in a bow to modernity, the pocket slide rule could probably be replaced with a smartphone.
The difference is how much rendering is done by vertex and pixel shaders, and how much is pre-rendered by the CPU and blitted to the GPU as a texture. Ideally you want as much of the former as you can.

Or, if you want to get really crazy sci-fi, a kind of jet-powered "superbus" made out of lightweight materials like composites and aluminum, that travels above the roads and doesn't require any infrastructure between the start and end points at all! It could go much faster and could travel in direct routes, disregarding terrain altogether. Maybe someday...
Salt? That goes on the fries, of course.
It's FL Studio now, but yeah, it's amazing how powerful it's become. Oh and by the way, free updates for life! Though they do sell harder/better/faster/stronger plugins as well.
That's like saying 4-door sedans are overdone! Ridiculous!
They renamed table-Surface to "Pixelsense." There's a link at the bottom of the new surface page.
Not mention, rockets don't even work in a vacuum! I read it in the NYT!
Not to mention, (I can only speak for North America) we actually have a long tradition of prefabricated housing, even from before modularized building was possible. E.g., Sears Modern Homes
I think Bigby was referring obliquely to the kind of "manufactured homes" that seem to attract tornados at an alarming rate.
It would be more accurate to say that Saturn technology was based on Nazi technology. But the German technology was based on American technology, specifically Goddard's.
as far as I know, to date not one single private vehicle has reached orbit except by riding a government-designed rocket.
Dragon is a private space vehicle and rides on Falcon 9, a privately designed and operated rocket.
