Good points. SLS was *technically* "foisted" on NASA, BUT it certainly wasn't like NASA was dragged kicking and screaming and forced into it. NASA was a more than willing partner in getting that approved, because nobody in gubmint (inside NASA or outside it, say in Congress) has the courag...

I told him if he kept looking at that stuff he'd go blind, but did he listen to me?? NOOO!!!

Why am I seeing "oops you said word #1" in my post above?? I thought you turned off the filter for me, Bernie... or am I missing something??

Just wondering. Later! OL J R

Yes. Here-here! Totally agree. I'll be more impressed with Blue Origin when they actually orbit something. Reusable sounding rockets or zero-gee flights for the ultra rich are all fine and dandy, if that's what you're in to, and if it drives progress toward something more substantial. SpaceX is, IMH...

WHY do assholes like this go all over the internet posting *oops you said word #1 like this that NOBODY gives a rat's ass about?? ESPECIALLY in a rocket forum?? I could see it if this was some sort of medical forum or geriatric forum or some *oops you said word #1 like that, but REALLY?? a ROCKET fo...

Ah, okay, I guess that got lost in the translation... LOL:) Not unknown for me to do that. Yeah, I agree that really sucks. My tax lady said IRS is kinda shitty in that they want you to match your withholding AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE to your actual tax burden-- IOW, ideally they don't want you to end ...

BTW, sorry for your current economic problems. I know that sucks. I just had $1300 worth of work done on my farm truck last November to get it to pass the damn stupid smog check inspection so I could get my tags, and last month paid $700 for new catalytic converters for Betty's 95 Roadmaster so it'd...

Meh, whatever works for ya. Thing is, we can all bitch and moan and complain all we want, and yeah sure everybody would know EXACTLY how much they were paying in taxes if there were no withholding and it was all due at the end of the year (or tax day or whatever) BUT, 1) it would make absolutely no ...

I went through this a lot when I was driving a bus for the local school district. Seemed like every time I turned around they were LOWERING our withholding automatically. That REALLY pissed me off because then come April we'd get socked with a big tax bill (fed-- no state income taxes in Texas) that...
