So after 10 years, it's time for a new joystick. I was looking at the Saitek X52, but I've tried it before, and my only concern is that it's not very stiff (my old logitech is pretty stiff, and I prefer it that way). Also, can you program the MFD on the throttle that comes with the X52? And I...

Ooh, yea that's definitely more than 1500 dollars :thumbup: Are those purple things mini jet engines or something?

Wingsuits are only around 1500 USD. The expensive part, though, would be all that 1 on 1 training to teach you how to fly with a wingsuit.

That's what SpaceX is for :thumbup:

Not the pilot of the stock DG...he looks like a stud :tiphat:

Good point. They've said there are enough supplies until spring, any word on how much fuel is left?

Do you mean like atrophy, bone loss, etc? If that's what you meant, I read that they lose about 1% bone mass every month. As long as they keep exercising, they can probably stay up quite a bit longer. Hey, maybe this can be good for researching how humans handle very long exposure to...

What if that person is the person you shot in self defense? :lol:

Guns don't kill people. People kill people.

Depends. For simple, everyday items, it's English and Spanish. Sometimes French. Though depending on the item, I've seen a single item with more than 15 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Hebrew to name a few). So it just depends, but the more...

Happy July 4th! To all American orbinauts, and to all non-American orbinauts who wish to celebrate, happy July 4th!! I hope you all have fun grilling out today, I know I will :cheers:

I dunno. Let's make a poll and see peoples' opinions :lol: Though they have visible seeds, so I'd guess a fruit, but I'm not sure.

Mine's pretty simple. My first name is Mark, my last name starts with an L, and I was born on March 16th.

By those standards, not even airline travel is safe. Nor is walking. If I trip on my shoelaces and my center of gravity goes past my feet, the situation is no longer controllable. As Zatnikitelman pointed out, nuclear power has caused zero deaths in the United States. Actually, wind...

Undergrad in AE. Are you by chance in the combustion lab?

Currently at Georgia Tech, #2 Aerospace Engineering school in the US, and studying aerospace engineering. It's a phenomenal program with tons of great opportunities.

Quick question to Coolhand: I'm an engineering student, so I work with CAD software, so I'm used to that interface. Out of curiosity, about how many features (revolve, extrude, etc.) will there be in the final model? Thanks!

A few things that might be cool: 1. Maybe a more complex APU kinda like SSU that requires a bit of a startup and shutdown procedure? 2. Simulated failures (Engine failure, RCS jet failure, decompression, etc.) 3. More realistic EVA (put person in airlock, close inner door, decompress...

Not worth the risk. Like others have said before, you risk shortening the life of your hardware, or frying it, plus making your system stable, for the gain of maybe a few fps. If anything, overclock your CPU. If it's stock speed is 2.8 GHz, then you should be able to hit 3.5 or 4 Ghz...

Maybe now Michelle Obama will say "For the SECOND time in my life, I am proud of my country." :lol::lol: Seriously, props to the US military for taking out a horrible, horrible individual. :cheers:
