Little food for thought...taking a break from finishing up getting them damn egg-layer dandelions in the yard.
Tomorrow is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission...when Houston had them normally ‘stir the cryo tanks’...things kinda went to *s-wordt! Talk about talented folks figuring out one helluva problem btwn the crew, Houston, several contractors involved in that situation. Some damn intelligent folks mixing and matching equations, some pretty heavy *s-wordt that would probably make Trig and Calculus look like basic, simple Algebra, Algebra II and Geometry to the rest of us.
It wasn’t like that crew was flying at 37,000 feet wanting to Be A Rockstar...those men were damn near 200,00 miles away. I’m sure there were some tight *a-holes that you couldn't push a strait pin up, in that zero gravity deal.
I still think the greatest technological feat that’s ever happened, giving the technology to work with at the current time. Could you imagine riding that bullet...seeing a rock called Earth in the distance, way to hell and gone out of the portholes...hoping you can limp back and hit that bullseye!
You gotta realize...our smartphones we tote are light years ahead of everything they had to work with and use, combined...pretty damn impressive what they accomplished!
