  1. Holy cow! I know it's a rocket launch but that thing moved like a bat outta hell!
  2. The weather actually looks better than it did the other day. We'll know more in about 10 minutes of so.
  3. Just under an hour to go. I think they're gonna try and make the launch regardless of weather.
  4. I hope so too. I don't really want to talk about the last time I watched a live launch. Good luck guys!
  5. With Zahn I'd start with Icarus Hunt. It's a nice little self contained sci-fi mystery book.
  6. How does one get an incentive ride period let alone a fighter jet? Hell I'd take one on a C-130 or a C-5 if I could get it.
  7. They lost their public affairs officer in the crash, but the pilot managed to eject with non life threating injuries.
  8. I've said this for the longest time, but there is nothing actually wrong with the over arching story of The Phantom Menace or the rest of the prequels. The directing and script dialog are its weak spots. The Sequel Trilogy have almost the complete opposite problem. There's no question the films were at least competently directed and the three films had nowhere near the same amount of cringy lines the Phantom Menace did. The sequel trilogy's problem is the story itself is so inherently flawed, contradictory, incoherent and dysfunctional not just from film to film, but internally in the single films themselves. They're a broken mess and it shows the had no game plan or thought of an overarching storyline when they began the project. When your new "canon" novels and comics waste most of their time trying to either explain the story or retcon parts of the film leading to even more contradictions and retcons, you know you've screwed up.
  9. Will there be Catapults invloved?
  10. I'm almost certain the "Viper" nickname rose with the release of the reimagined Galactica series. My dad was a 20 year air force veteran and I used to go on base with him alot growing up in 80s and no one ever called it a viper, it was always the falcon or occasionally from the maintainence crews the "electric jet" or "electrojet".
  11. Last time I had seen them together was when I was very young. The Blue Angels still had the A-4 Skyhawks and the Thunderbirds had already transitioned to the F-16.
  12. So I'm sure you guys have heard the news the last couple of days about the DoD and Navy confirming the authenticity of three hud videos supposedly capturing UFO's on film. I have a pretty good idea of what a couple of them actually are, but I want your guys take.
  13. For the record Looney Tunes wasn't a children's cartoon back when they first came out. They were very much the South Park of their day.
  14. They look nice, but Japan has priced me out of the toy collecting game. I just can't justify paying $100+ before shipping on something slightly taller than a GI Joe with similar points of articulation no matter how nice the paint app is.
  15. Yeah you guys have hit the nail on the head. With Anakin/Vader there always was the compelling question of what made the good man that Obi Wan talked about fall? How did he become twisted and evil, more machine now than man? It's a shame Lucas botched it with ham fisted storytelling, ugly dialogue, and poor directing. With Cassian what is there to tell? He lived as a cynical rebel operative, and died as a slightly less cynical one. I'm guessing his background involves something cliche like the empire killed his family, or he witnessed/took part in Imperial atrocities so he joined the rebels? The only thing to really look forward to is seeing K-2S0 again.
  16. Yup! Youtube and google algorithms. Kind of creepy, but it kind of makes sense. We likely share similar tastes being on this forum and all in addition to watching similar youtube channels so it's no surprise that recommendation would trigger.
