AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH MY JESUS
SO MUCH MAKES SENSE NOW
wow
did you know stone mountain was originally built as a KKK monument and meet-up locale?

It's the second most urinated-on spot in Europe, behind the Blarney Stone.

It's actually where the Furherbunker was, but otherwise can confirm
Try not to aim for the moon itself, but for the spot in the sky where the moon will be when the rocket gets there.
This upsets me because it's so close to a good idea
But also really far from one
that's actually how it works tho
you use a hohmann transfer orbit then burn when you get to the point where you line up to where the moon will be in regards to the delta from your speed and the moons speed or some other boring bullshit physics math

The bad scifi book cover conversation from earlier reminded me of something.
Remember when scifi and fantasy book covers would often have naked people (usually but not always women) as long as they were in profile or their naught bits were strategically covered by scenery? Every cover artist wanted to be Boris Vallejo.
Several years back in a public library science fiction section i stumbled across a book from the 1970s, it was a pulp science fiction novel and the cover art was done in a Vallejo-ish style. It depicted a robot with several nude women clinging to it, apparently enthralled, and the robot itself was just phallic-shaped enough to obviously be a metal penis ithout running afoul of censors.
I wish I could find it again because it was so hilariously absurdly 70s and weirdly misogynist. I didn't read the book because it looked terrible but I'm still curious what inspired the cover artist to paint naked women worshipping a robot dick.
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

6th grade was when I realized I couldn't be a scientist of any sort, and this is why.

That's correct, and that's almost what knitdan said!
Whereas I interpreted as shooting it at where the Moon will be ... as fast as I possibly can.
Which is problematic unless I take a lot more rocket to hit the brakes at the far end. >_>
Pokemon Red and Blue come so close to having perfect synchronization
For those who never played, the main gimmick of having two releases is because not all 150 pokemon are present in a single game. For example in a field in Red you might get an Ekans, but in Blue the same field would yield Vulpix
So in that way it encourages you to trade with someone of the other colour in order to fill out your Pokedex.
And there are a couple of choices which underline this! You can choose Hitmonlee and your friend choses Hitmonchan and then you swap together! You choose Kabuto and your friend Praises Helix, and you swap to fill out! Great!
Except for the three-way choices that exist, namely the choice of starter and which evolution to apply to Eevee. Because these are tenary and not binary choices, a Red and Blue collaborating together can only expect to have 148 Pokemon in their Pokedex, unless one chooses to start from the beginning again.
Feels like a hairline fracture in the logic of trading between the games.

Especially because "double cream" implies something completely different in UK English
Do
Do I wanna know

Sounds like it would be a white guy talking about who the real racists are.
It implies you want a double stuffed oreo.

If you buy cream in the UK you get (in ascending order of thickness) single, double, whipping, spooning, or clotted cream.
So "double cream" implies the kind of cream you would pour over fruit or a dessert and probably wouldn't find in a coffee shop.
Ah
That's much more benign than I'd feared

did you try aiming for it
No no.
You aim for the stars
A moving target at 2200mph is a tricky proposition
I did
But that worked, like, easily the least of everything I've tried so far
That rocket went really far
And then came back down really fast
more boosters then
my favorite thing to do is use the jet engines to get me into the upper atmosphere (far more fuel efficient than boosters and rocket engines)
and then use SRBs to get me into orbit, and then I have a full tank to get me to the moon

It DOES work really well
But it feels so wrong
I mean
it's fucking huge

It's in the front yard of a block of flats

this is how you used to land on the moon in kerbal space program before they had fancy shmancy lander legs and whatnot
