I need to learn how to use Pandora Radio better.

I started clicking idly during a Stevie Wonder song...and got Joan Jett in the background.

Contrast "Isn't She Lovely" with "I Love Rock And Roll." :idk:

JPL must be slipping! Just watched their animation of Curiosity's mission. It had sound.....

...in space!:uhh:

'cause average american taxpayer won't watch an animation without sound, well, actually he doesn't even care of MER, MSL, Juno, New Horizons etc.

Just get a Slacker Radio instead.

потрясти = Shake (which is an interesting name for a rocket! :blink.

According to the deviation's page it means "Thunderbolt". Fictional realistic rocket designs are cool.

Speaking of rockets, according to Ed Kyle's website, over 93% of the 5178 orbital launch attempts since Sputnik 1 uses the 14 most used launch vehicle families:

1. R-7 (Soyuz/Vostok/Molniya...) 1727 (85) (1957 - )
2. Thor-Delta (Thor-Agena, all Deltas except for Delta IV, the Japanese N-I/N-II/H-I ...) 606 (54) (1958 - 2011)
3. R-14 (Cosmos-1/3/3M) 461 (26) (1964 - 2012?)
4. Proton (-K/M) 371 (42) (1965 - )
5. Atlas (Atlas-Agena, Atlas-Centaur, Atlas I/II/III (V not included)...) 326 (42) (1958 - 2005)
6. R-36 (Cyclone-2/3, Dnepr) 275 (13) (1965 - )
7. Titan (II/III/IV) 219 (22) (1964 - 2005)
8. R-12 (Cosmos-2) 164 (20) (1961 - 1977)
9. DF-5 (Long March 2/3/4...) 163 (13) (1973 - )
10. Ariane-1/2/3/4 144 (7) (1979 - 2003)
11. Space Shuttle 135 (3) (1981 - 2011)
12. Scout 100 (16) (1960 - 1994)
13. Zenit (-2/3) 76 (12) (1985 - )
14. Ariane 5 60 (4) (1996 - )

The number in the brackets is the number of launch attempts that resulted in some kind of failure (either salvageable or lost).

What is the third failure of the shuttle?

STS-51F Challenger ATO

 

[NovaSilisko]

STS-51F Challenger ATO

What about STS-27 and STS-114? Near-fatal tile damage on the former and some extruded filler that required repair on the latter.

I think the list is more talking about rocket engine failures during launch.

I'm so bad at Chess ...

The only way I'll ever get to say "Checkmate" is if I eat at a restaurant in Australia. (._.)

That.....that wasn't funny at all.

Those weren't exactly 'failures' as the missions weren't officially compromised. STS-51-F failed to reach its intended orbit, ergo (happily non-catastrophic) failure.

I was re-watching an older episode of The Big Bang Theory on my DVR the other night. It was the one where they show Leonard interviewing with Sheldon to be his roommate. I noticed on one of the whiteboards in the living room (which normally have random equations on them) there were a bunch of rocket engine names with thrust values written beside them. It only caught my eye this time through because I happened to see SSME. Then I realized it had Saturn V among others. Will try to find a pic.

This is my Interplanetary Spaceship:

It's powered by Nuclear Cookies and propelled by Magic Fairy Dust. :lol:

I call it Tom.

If you need to know anything on nuclear stuff, just hit me up. My dad works in the industry, and for a fun fact, his name happens to be Tom.
