While poking around a couple of weeks ago, I found a couple of HDL sources for MIPS R3000 cores. Would these run into licensing issues? They could be adapted to something similar, or perhaps other uses with the addition of on chip I/O and perhaps a vector unit, IMHO.
I take it nobody asked Douglas Rain to do the job?
Atlas V uses a Russian RD-180 LOX/Kerosene motor in it's first stage. It's derived from the RD-170 used in the Energia booster, except it runs two combustion chambers (instead of four) off a single turbo pump.
Yeah, I don't think he's suffered.

The word everyone is looking for would be obsolescent. Just because a newer processor comes out, it doesn't mean that the old ones stop working en masse.
The statement isn't even true, however. Not as long as the older gear is still useful and the inconvenience of replacement outweighs the advantages.
The days of gentlemen skippers are long gone. America's cup teams now use professional crews and professional skippers. USA 17 (the current cup holder) was helmed by Russell Coutts. Larry didn't "command the crew", Russell did. Larry's most important task was to support Russell financially and organizationally.
I don't mean to take away from Larry's abilities as a sailor, but simply to point out the commitment required of sailors at the top levels of competition. It's no longer the hobby it was 30 years ago. It is a life and a career.
The only "advantage" is when you're defaulted to Windows because an ISV has a required shrink wrap application available only for Windows.
I'm guessing this is the command that lit off the rocket. It seems like it's still used for a lot of weapons development testing.

The lady didn't die because of the bicycle accident. She died 3 months later due to an unrelated cause.
I enjoy the time that we spend together.
