Somewhere in Los Angeles...Infinity Ward Studio Head trembles...

I am now an astrophysics major. It's more interesting than engineering.

*looks at floormates' physics homework*
*feels relieved to not be a physics major*

AP Physics is making me rethink choosing to major in Physics. Granted, having a babysitter instead of a teacher isn't helpful.

I know how you feel. My teacher wasn't too great at teaching.
And I think I would be alright with a physics major if it was like AP physics. Unfortunately, it's something much, much scarier... (to me)
Or maybe I'm lazy. :lol:

I just completed my first rendezvous and docking. Used a DeltaGliderIV and a MPLM that I launched on a Falcon 9. :lol:

Well, My Tekkit server world got destroyed tonight. Someone set off a nuke, people got mad, and then everybody just killed each other with mining lasers and nukes. It was fun. Shame my WIP castle got destroyed though.

I've already taken 100 level astronomy classes in high school so I'm on top of my new major, plus I get to learn more about the universe planets and galaxies on top of regular physics. I find quantum mechanics fascinating, and I have to complete at least one (preferably two) semesters of that. I'm not as interested in astronautical engineering, especially in the lower-division classes.
Who doesn't want to see this every day on their way to class?

Many professors at ASU work with NASA and I'd be with people who actually share my interests for once.

Both astrophysics and engineering require a lot of math and physics, but the only disappointing thing is that I'm missing out on fluid mechanics. However, I do get to choose many more electives.

I have a feeling thats par for the course. Did it feel like the world was ending?

Yes, mode 6 is "refueling", but we've been core-empty for internals inspection for longer than expected. During which time we move into "core-empty" or "no-mode", it seems to be some new manager-speak to differentiate whether we've got fuel in the pot, or not?

I'd never heard "no-mode" until a few years ago, the term just kind of cropped up. It may be unique to TVA. As the saying goes "We do stupid good, but we're getting better at it".

Officially we are 120 hours or so behind schedule. There is a whole lot of work going on to modify the fire protection system that is holding up other work. As soon as the path gets cleared, we're going to be running like scalded dogs to get her back together. Managers are already starting to get megawatt fever no that they hear that fuel is moving again. So now is really the time to SLOW DOWN and ensure were doing it right, rather than right now.

:uhh: kinda embarrasing, but what exactly do you do for work? I guess it should be obvious, but I cant seem to figure it out

PhantomCruiser, it may be about time for a new user title or signature.

On our Teamspeak server, it sure sounded like it. We have a new world now, much better than the last one. We're going to build a cliff-side city. Should be interesting.

By the way, I am typing this from the emergency room waiting center on my phone. Hurt my ankle pretty bad earlier, my girlfriend insisted for me to go to the hospital.

It's actually starting to feel like Autumn here in Georgia. Easily my favorite season.

I am for the second year in an european class for 3e (French levels). It is a class where you learn more more deeply English than the 3 hours a week in the "regular" school program. This year we will gonna make a cinema festival, but the more exiting part: we will talk about Space ! We will going to the "Space City" in Toulouse (its real name is "Cité de l'Espace"), and this will be awesome. Of couse I spoke about Orbiter. May be new orbiternauts there

I am owning this chemistry unit! I think it's just because it's mostly physics.

Never sneeze while you're drinking Root Beer...bad things happen.

Physics is simply equations telling the story of how really tiny things, smash into other really tiny things...at not so tiny speeds.

I just learned how to add multiple vectors in physics.

Well, I'm back. The doctor said I have a hairline fracture on my navicular bone. Hurts like hell. I will wrap it up, but Im not putting the boot on.


Also, on our new Tekkit server world, I nerfed the Nuke and Nuclear Reactor explosion values to nothing. And, boy, what timing too. Someone had a 6 chamber reactor with a redstone powered ice system. But with no world anchor. BOOM! Nothing was destroyed, but everyone within 100 blocks of the reactor died.

• GPS gets another upgraded satellite for constellation

I couldn't help but chuckle - from the introduction (emphasis mine):

Upgrading the Global Positioning System one launch at a time, a modern bird soared to space Thursday to replace a long-surviving navigation satellite deployed 19 years ago, a durable craft of the past that doubled life's expectations and will give way to current advancements.

I must say that my expectations of life haven't been markedly changed by that satellite :shrug:
