Re:Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell has passed away on Friday August 08, 2025 @11:31PM (#44843822)
One strange aspect about Apollo 8 is that all three astronauts have passed away on the 7th day of the month.

Re:Safer roundabouts are replacing traffic signals (2023) on Saturday July 13, 2024 @03:51PM (#40956408)
Carmel, Indiana has over 150 roundabouts and they are building more. I believe we have less than 5 traffic light intersections now but I'm not 100% sure.

The movement around Carmel is remarkable compared to driving next cities (Indy, Fishers, etc). Fishers and Westfield are building more roundabouts as well.

As for one person who commented about high traffic locations - Carmel would make an overpass for those intersections though they are not many.

Come again? UN Plan?

My theory - similar with guns, the more we have the higher chances of it being used (guns and military).

We need to have less of both, not more. But I know it won't happen. Not for a long time.

Re:The red warning light on Richard Branson’s space flight on Thursday September 02, 2021 @03:01PM (#28395960)
My apologies. Not Sturckow but a different person, Mark "Forger" Stucky.
Re:The red warning light on Richard Branson’s space flight on Wednesday September 01, 2021 @05:03PM (#28385486)
Telling they fired Sturckow when he was pretty outspoken such as this:

In another e-mail, in 2019, he urged his fellow test pilots to be more transparent: “Failure to admit mistakes in flight test is a cancer that must be nipped at the bud.” Stucky, whom I wrote about in the magazine in 2018, had been particularly troubled by Mackay and Masucci’s unwillingness to take responsibility for what he perceived to be their mistakes on the July, 2018, flight.

Not really. They are more concerned about government cracking down on the banks due to these acts.
How was this tracked if you turned off the “allow apps to track” setting?

Where is the de-emphasizing of STEM in the US? I see nothing but STEM being promoted everywhere in colleges, high schools, camps, etc.
What is shocking is the number of active cases right now. 250 or so around the world. Wow.
What actual flights? Not the New Shepard? That's a suborbital rocket. They haven't gone to space yet!
I enjoy reading all the various ideas people come up to solve a complex issue. I know it's mostly not realistic but always good to see how imagination come forth.

Batteries. Imagine all the weight.
He was instrumental in the development of one of the earliest relay services in the mid-80's in St. Louis. The way it worked back then was more of a community collaboration among many hearing volunteers and the deaf community. The volunteers would work as relay operator, making phone calls for us deaf and relaying the conversation with us through TTYs. Some of the volunteers were my friends' parents which made for awkward moments at times!

But it was very helpful in bridging the gap between the hearing and deaf communities in St Louis and the rest is history.

Lots of respect and admiration for Paul Taylor as a very instrumental trailblazer for the Deaf.
