    Truly, but anyone could have proven that. There's always "thermal radiation" around my own "black hole."

    Top fuel dragster fuel pump demo showing how much fuel goes through 1 of the 8 cylinders. First shown at idle and then at full throttle. Keep in mind there are 7 more of these cylinders. A top fuel dragster at full throttle consumes 1 1/2 gallons of nitromethane fuel per second

    I was being sarcastic.

    It was a very interesting read. Times and technology certainly have changed - but I don't human behavior has to same extent.

    That was interesting. I imagine there will be a lot more stories like this in the future. Family secrets don't have a chance against these DNA tests.

    I saw a night launch from Va while standing in my front yard a few years back. Very cool to see even if it was just a streak of fire in the sky.

    You can get about 4 miles from the launch pad / landing zone on public roads.

    NASA is launching SLS November-ish 2020.

    That will be a good one to see.

    Better watching site onbase, though.

    We got to see a F9 launch with the kiddos a few years ago, want to catch a RLTS badly, though.

    If I'm not mistaken, the viewing area on base is about 7 miles away.

    I saw a satellite launch at Canaveral quite a few years back. It was very impressive. I can only imagine what the heavy lift launches must have been like.
