Moon base sounds like the setting in an 80s movie.

Holy shit, it was moon base i think?

Not nearly as good as the first,  but had some great moments. I love the black dude swearing in at court, "aint no thing" and daps the bible.

F*ck, man. Ive had a few bad experiences like that (not sure if that bad, but felt like it). No thanks.

[Blarg]

That looked more like a Harrrier than a jumbo jet landing.

Any safe landing is a good landing. Always support your local simulator and especially your local simulator techs

Do you occasionally let the teenage sons of pilots in to use the simulator, like in iron eagle? Im asking for @Tank

If he could get a pass to get into my building I'd hook him up. Good luck with that

[Blarg]

If he gets a pass he will probably end up in a cell some where where they lock people up and throw away the cell.

Of course he does! I mean, how else are the teens going to prepare for those high risk rescue operations of their parents if they don't get any sim time?

All you need is motivated kids, and some twisted sister music.

Plus style from teen wolf and lamar from revenge of the nerds.

So doing the space thing again, since they are aircraft right?  In any case.  This is just an amazing story.

NASA wakes up Voyager's slumbering thrusters 37 years later

[arch stanton]

That they can get data 40 years later is pretty incredible

[Tank]

that's remarkable. just thinking about the technology used 40 years ago and how they're able to still communicate with it today is pretty mind-boggling. i wonder how they're able to do it.

i also wonder how long it takes to send/receive a message 13 billion miles away.

[Blarg]

The biggest problem was remembering the prefix.

[Tank]

i wonder if they have to dial 9 to get an outside line.

And in more space news.

Tiangong-1 is currently predicted to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere around March of 2018.

It would be hilarious if a large piece of that space junk landed on Rocket Man as he posed for more ICBM propaganda. 

[gotbeer]

Aviation has kind of turned into space news.  Since it's so cool.  I wish we invested more into space.  Just some of the defense budget, and I bet NASA could do some absolutely amazing things.  For all I care, they could call them military bases, as long as they do something in space.

Lost … and Found: IMAGE Satellite in 'Good Shape,' NASA Says

[Tank]

right on, GB. i'm hopeful that the success of falcon heavy renews our national interest in space and gets people off their butts to start doing more amazing things. THIS is the kind of stuff that has made america great.

they have a new apollo type rocket in development - plans have even been made public. i don't think it's for traveling to mars, but i don't remember right now.

I like how there are 4 perfectly placed hits. You stop to admire that, then for good measure the pilot triggers another 70 rounds or so, because F it.

Just because there isn't a more American sound than the A-10's gun
