Some reading for you... many pages in German, but approximately in your direction

Thanks a lot, that looks very helpful!

:lol:

She's my mother sure but getting on with her is more humiliating for you than for her or me. My mother gets guys less than half her age. You get a woman who can remember the year you where born in.
"Oh yeah, I remember that year. I met your father and we got married!"

I've been tinkering with my newly built delta configuration 3D printer.
It was on it's side.
And i thought - why not?

This have interesting implications - if a printer can print sideways or upside-down, then it can print in zero-g. And where you have zero-g, you'll appreciate a 3D printer.

Is there a 3D printer on ISS? I heard something about plans to send one up, but can't quite find the details.

Why do you get all the cool toys, Artlav? :lol:

 

[Artlav]

I make them.

According to this NASA site it's set in September 2014 and the media reported it for 2014, too. And apparently Expedition 41/42 is assigned for it, which would be September 2014, too.
And the NASA astronauts for Expedition 41 would be a systems engineer and an electrical engineer.

"Small" Orions?

[MaverickSawyer]

Compared to some of the other designs, yes, those are small.

I mean...there's Noseart...and there's this...

That is what happens, if your helicopter is parked too long at Kisarazu airbase...

At RAF Northolt, you would have to fear a Banksy appearing on your helicopter.

This seems to be happening more frequently in recent months than I ever remember hearing about:

Needs more Miku.

At least it it says "Mirai" (未来, future). When you read 未来 as a person's name, it can be read as "Miku".

Seems like it might not have been entirely the pilot's fault (speculation). It seems there may be some confusion between some pilots and ATC operators about the name of the airport where they actually landed.

From [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taney_County_Airport"]Wiki-petey[/ame]:

Name confusion[edit]

The airport was named after a person, M. Graham Clark, and the donation agreement between the college and the county calls for the airport to always be named M. Graham Clark Field, though it is usually referred to as Clark Field, or simply as "Clark." The official Facilities Directory lists the airport under the name of the town it was originally officially associated with, Point Lookout, so some pilots will refer to the airport as "Point Lookout." The Kansas City Sectional Chart depicts the airport as "Clark-Taney County", but on two lines, so some pilots refer to it as "Clark County." Some local pilots refer to it as "Taney County." Some transient pilots associating the airport with the principal city of Branson refer to it as "Branson," despite the proximity of the newly developed Branson Airport about eight miles to the southeast. Most recently, there has been a proposal to officially rename the airport as "M. Graham Clark Branson Downtown Taney County Airport" as a marketing move to attract some of the low end corporate traffic from nearby Boone County Airport or the Branson Airport. Although the airport board has never adopted the proposal, many local pilots pushing for the change have been referring to the airport as "Branson Downtown" or simply "Downtown". The use of so many names for the same airport has also been known to cause radio confusion in dense traffic. It is not unusual for approaching traffic making an initial call to refer to the airport as "Clark Point Lookout Branson Downtown Taney County . . ." in an attempt to be specific, and use a shorter name on subsequent calls.

"Point Lookout"

Who would want to land there?

 

[Artlav]

Hello, americans?
Give us back our winter!
You don't know how to use it anyway!

 

[n122vu]

Heh.

The logical extension of noseart... --PLACE YOUR ADD HERE--
I mean, why not? might actually help military funding. They've got lots of large vehicles and buildings just crying to be abused... :shifty:
