  • That’s kind of like saying that ford can’t make a model t anymore.

    I’m sure they could, there’s just no reason to.

    I’m also sure the contractors that built the Saturn V, those that are still in business, could build equivalent parts today if the government asked.

    The Saturn five was an absurdly large rocket designed specifically to get 3 people from earth to the moon. It was insanely expensive per launch, and the only reason it ever flew was because the government was writing nasa blank checks in order to beat the soviets.

    Today the government wants a reasonable dollar figure for a launch, and the days of spending a billion dollars per launch are long past.



  • The “front” or “forward” direction of a screw is clearly the face of the fastener itself, be it a hex head, Phillips, or Slotted screw. Picking a side of a face as the front doesn’t make any sense. The whole thing needs to rotate one direction or another, and it will either rotate to the right to tighten, or the left to loosen.

    If I ask you what the front of a clock is, are you going to tell me it’s the top curve near the ceiling? No it’s the face of the clock, and the hands rotate around it to the right.




  • What the fuck are you talking about.

    You’re either rotating the fastener to the right or the left.

    It doesn’t matter what side you’re talking about, because you’re not moving one side of the fastener, you’re rotating the whole thing one direction or the other.

    Clockwise just means something is rotating to the right.

    If I ask you to turn around to the right, are you going to ask me what side of you I’m referencing?





  • I can hear all of the “Uhh” and “Ummmm” sounds that he makes every other word during a presentation.

    You can tell he’s been coasting on daddy’s money his whole life, because no way would I give this man $5 for anything with the way he presents things. If you can’t present your own product confidently, it makes people feel you don’t have confidence in the product.

    How he manages to get people to invest in things when even his investor calls sound like a 5th grader giving a report on a book they only read the summary of is beyond me.
