excuse me. "Should have been". I read a document pre-2004, so obviously that is my only frame of reference. I know a lot of these programs have been delayed. I don't know the current space-qualification status of it, but I know it is going through testing still. What are you the RTG nazi?:icon_tong

Looks like the Oscillation Overthruster has a new project manager, Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems dumped it in favor of the P-3 re-winging contract, the Orion having been determined the best airframe and powerplant combination for the trip home to Planet 10.

Man I used to hang out with a couple Aerospace Science Majors my first year of College. They were a bit odd but at the same time when you got them drunk it was funny as hell to watch them drunkenly argue of the best way to achieve intersteller travel above the speed of light.
This was at Riddle.....
Are you troubled by strange noises in the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family actually seen a spook, specter or ghost? If the answer is yes, then don't wait another minute. Just pick up the phone and call the professionals.
The following is an actual question given on a Washington University chemistry mid-term.
The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
One student, however, wrote the following:
First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially.
Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks lose.
2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct...... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

Engineers and Aviation are something akin to wives and marriage:
You can't live (fly?) with 'em ... and you can't live (fly?) without 'em.
You can't live (fly?) with 'em ... and you can't live (fly?) without 'em.

Same here concerning flyboys & girls, just the other way around though.......we can live with them as well as without :icon_wink
