Actually, the space craft is running perfectly. It's solar powered and was running low on fuel. It's filling up before moving on..

And, you're not going to outrun the cops radio no matter how fast your crotch-rocket is.

FTFY

Letting the market work it out is only fair when all participants are on a level playing field. When the cost of living in some other country is much lower than ours, people from there are likely to be willing to work for wages that we would consider to be poverty scale. Exporting (or importing workers) those jobs may help the companies, but is screwing over the public, and forcing lower wages. Eventually, you'll end up with a public that is unable to afford the products that companies are sell, or the education required to fill open positions.

I'm generally pro-business, but I see this as short sighted, and harmful to the nation.

Ah, so you would have believed the sun revolved around the earth, at least until around 1514 or so. Or, that eggs were good for you, oh wait, they're bad, oops, nevermind, they're good again. Or maybe that until 1982 most believed that gastric ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods instead of bacteria.

Personally, I choose not to believe experts without some basic evidence that can be explained in layman's terms. Not doing so is to follow those who believed the experts when we were told Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Show me some evidence.

As for climate change, I'm not a "denier", but I've yet to see solid evidence that it's anthropomorphic. But, I'll also admit that I haven't searched for it...color me uncommitted to either side of the argument.

How do you know how many people are voting under assumed names if you are not ID'ing them?

Fraud is the only viable reason for fighting against voter ID laws. Your opposition proves the need for such laws.

Blah, blah, blah. Most people don't give a shit what the ingredients are. It tastes good, or else Nutella wouldn't be raking in the cash that it obviously is.

Stereotype much? Jackass.

YMMV. Knowing that I'd never have the opportunity to land a space ship, the next best thing was landing an airplane. Don't like the article, don't read it. And at a minimum, don't rage about it...it tends to get you modded down.

Being pedantic...
"I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."

I had several instructors (got my ticket back in the '80s), and most all of them said it at one time or another. I'd be amazed if yours hasn't at least heard the phrase.

I'll disagree. At night depth perception is lost (there are plenty of articles available on this), so queues to your AGL height are lost. I have a few hundred daytime landings under my belt, and the nighttime lands definitely raise the pucker factor.

This exactly. Nighttime is a completely different world than landing in daylight. There's a reason why the FAA requires instructors to sign off your logbook for it. It's very much like doing an precision instrument landing because you really don't have the same visual cues, only lights and instruments.

Depends. I did my first solo with 11 hours. When there's no crosswind (so you don't have to slip or crab), and you know not to flare too soon, or too late, then it's simple. Knowing when to flare...approach speed, and height, can be learned quickly. But for someone who's never experienced it, like this passenger, I'd say they were very lucky.

I hate replying to an AC, but this one's commentary is flat out incorrect. It doesn't cost tens of thousands. You don't need to own the plane to fly.
