So, what did everyone think of the new Terminator Genisys trailer?

Wait, didn't they already ruin the Terminator series? Now I'm just confused. :idk:

Mixed feelings.
First thought: A remake of the original? that can't end well.
Second thought: Terminator 1 and 2 in a timey wimey wobbly mash-up? Awesome!
third thought: "We can stop judgement day from happening!" haven't we already seen that cliche in the third one and been led to believe that it's not possible?
fourth thought: Are they finally going to drop the PG13 rating and make an actual terminator movie again?
Anyways, it seems the terminator series is officially going Dr. Who with this one. Does anyone know if there's a specific reason for the misspelling of the title or if they just hate dictionaries?

Man, Urwumpe's Anim8or plug-in is GREAT.
I made some obj. files, exported to .msh, and managed to get them to show in Orbiter. For some reason, they look glossier than a .msh created via MshMaker. the only real problem I had was that I aligned the models wrong before I exported, so they were horizontal, instead of vertical when they rendered in Orbiter.
I'll try to put a picture if I can later.
I don't have internet at my home at the moment, so I won't be active (very much) for a little bit. Don't know when it be back up...

I noticed that too but you can tweak manually glosiness in msh file.

You know you are a hard core spaceflight geek when you are furious about being lazy and leaving 3 satellite launches (all Chinese) missing in the O-F launch reports since mid-November. :rofl:
OK, I'm writing up all of them before the next Chinese one - one with some landmark history and also being a redemption - happens early tomorrow.

Good news for the FC Augsburg supporters here in the forum. Their club is now third in the Bundesliga (behind Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg) ... but this will change today, unless the following events all happen during the next 2 hours:
Leverkusen wins against Bayern (they start playing in 30 minutes)
Manuel Neuer is no longer Manuel Neuer.
Hell freezes over
Kaiju attack

I find it disheartening that every Youtube vid about spaceflight is monopolized by comments from idiot hoaxers, especially anything Apollo-related. That level of stupidity does not bode well for the future...

Fortunately, YouTube comments tend to just hold a very high concentration of the toxic opinions of a minority of people.

It's necessary, TARS.
Fortunately, YouTube comments are just worthless 99.9999999991% of the time.
I think you have a rounding error there, it's 100%.

I hear what you guys are saying, but I am more pessimistic. Youtube comments represent a cross section of internet users, mostly younger people (younger being defined as less than about 60, now, this is 2014, not 1994, mind you), and what people write on the internet is, thanks to anonymity and lack of face-to-face accountability (ie. not having to worry about being punched in the mouth), pretty much what they really think in private.
Unless of course they are just trolling, which has the lack of face-punching but not necessarily the true belief part.
And I don't think the majority of the hoax-believers on youtube are trolls. I have met too many people in real life who are either hoax-believers or at least on the fence about it, most of whom are not nutcases but rather reasonably intelligent but sadly misinformed people.
I believe that skepticism of "official stories" is a good thing in general. But anyone who is honest has to admit that the Moon landings pass the skeptics' test.
And no, not all youtube comments are stupid. After all some of them are mine!

There's reasonable skepticism, and then there's denial. Hoaxers tend to fall on in the latter category.
