The same title as Jack Douglas's 1959 book oft shilled on Jack Paar's Tonight Show. (Now how do we get this thread back to its more lofty topics? Lol)

The gross contemptibility of Ludwig's ludicrous brother isn't lofty enough for you?

Burk wrote that Beethoven further hated even the name 'Gneixendorf,' remarking it "sounds like an axle-tree breaking!"

...vehicle if memory recalls weighed 6.1 million pounds, power from those five Rocketdyne F-1 engines once built up to full thrust totaled 7 million pounds, just enough, but plenty, to lift it off, once the eight hold-down arms (which were also what the rocket's structure rested on until launch) released.

von Braun's risk-management lessons in balancing minimalist lean efficiency against steel-beamed ensured sufficiency have been life tutelage ever since!

All of which only to note. Once you know your hard limits, you can let yourself go to slam into them without regard to speed or velocity or attack angle, once you know your airframe and control surfaces have durability and control authority to survive, or at any rate retrieve before terrain, any constructable situation.

 

All of which may be required in the Investigation Into Things.

 

Another way to say: Construct your airframe and control surfaces simply to have no flight-envelope overspeed reachable, nor any overturn configuration, even in top-speed powered dive and spin. In the manner of the great fighter jets.

I still have a laser disc player and many laser discs, but not enough outlets on my TV or receiver. Of course, I could just unplug some of the other outlets.

 

My interests in the space program begins and ends with walking on the moon on my 26th birthday in 1969. I was in Reno, NV - my only day there ever. Television and slot machines.

[+ WilliamM]

My lack of interest is hardly unusual. I was one of the few people watching the many TVs in Reno that night.

It was a dark, gloomy, and rainy day... and some folks were saying that was because man upset the natural balance of things and caused the planets not to be properly aligned. Of course not too long ago Maxine Waters did reference it as the "landing on Mars"! Perhaps she knows something we don't know!?

LMAO! How the moderators have not shut us down here I'll never know...

 

So to save the thread I recently learned that Russian pianist Grigory Sokolov always respects Mozart's col basso instructions in his performances many of which are on YouTube! Here's an example in the heavenly first moment of K 488.

It is a valuable thread, WG. I seldom post, but check the thread several times a week. More people are interested than you know.

Medicine says the body itself makes enough testosterone that even a eunuch can well more than get it up and get it in.

A professor I had at Duke when he was very young, 1977, only just out of Harvard with his PhD. But even then a quietly blazing teacher and mind, that helped set mine own mentation afire. His ideas since have grown to monumental proportions.

Think I have said this before. The scene above printed into the film of the military man courting in dance his maiden was the 43rd take! Kubrick without any direction just kept saying "Go again." Until he got the look he thought he would want, in the editing room.

 

Finally, actors exhausted, he saw & got the real-life performance he had been looking for.

 

Transcendent genius who first taught me age nine how to think & appercieve!

And for some marvelous reason, YouTube turns this up as a related clip!

 

Never occurred before that we Elis are the Appalachia of the Ivies.
