Why we wanted it
120 injured 78 dead. Hydrazine and nitric acid.

We did a little Pirate Hunting off the coast of Vietnam and Cambodia during the boat people exodus. Those Pirates are scum of the earth for what they did to innocent women and children.
When we visited Africa back then, the local Pirates were not as bold as the guys here.

One of my wife’s hiking buddies (as we call them). Was on one of those boats and picked up by USS Ranger as I heard it. She barely remembers it being so young. After a long Chevron career she has settled into grandmotherhood and suburban life in the East Bay (San Francisco). Great lady.

 

 

A worm has been revived after 46,000 years in the Siberian permafrost

​

Organisms in a cryptobiotic state can endure the complete absence of water or oxygen and withstand high temperatures, as well as freezing or extremely salty conditions. They remain in a state “between death and life,” in which their metabolic rates decrease to an undetectable level, Kurzchalia explained.

 

Quick! Turn it into a breakfast cereal.

I worked inside (Long Beach naval Shipyard) the BB-62 class when they were recommissioned in the 80's. We installed and ran computers (redundant mainframes) and computer terminals to stations from deep inside to up on the bridge.
A most impressive hunk-o-metal she was.

 

How to calculate the speed of light using some cheese, and a microwave oven.

The thing most impressing to me was when I worked on Naval Power Systems in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Submarine power systems are still using WWII systems. They worked well then and still are working reliably. Sure, there are new innovations and methods, but there are a lot of OLD relays being built and still in service today. Really can't discuss any more than what I've already said. Nor am I willing to discuss it in private.

The problem is they really can't add automation to many of the old systems (designed to have manned station) so it takes excessive manpower to run the plants. Steam will still be used when we have warp engines.


I bunked above one of the boilers steam condensers, I could not imagine working in that hell but those who did, loved it.

You can always tell a gear-head from the way they look at machines.
