Turn the moon shot over to Elon Musk

Story here. I suspect that SpaceX can get it done faster and cheaper. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Dead cell phone

My Samsung Galaxy S8+ finally died.  It was a good phone. Got it in April or May of 2017. It survived in spite of my abuse.

Su-27

A great article on the Su-27s flown by the Ukrainians and some real life input from the pilots on the aircraft.  Enlightening.

Wonder where they got the plans

Looks like Chinese espionage scores again. (h/t Jeff “Inch High” Groves.)

Another near miss

Story here.  Telling that it wasn’t spotted until a few days ago.  This one is small, but sooner or later we are going to get smacked hard by a bigger one. (post in memory of Mike Nofsinger)

Forgiveness

We need more forgiveness in our lives.  We need to be more like the victim’s brother in this story. (BTW, good on the police for never giving up.)

SF.260

In addition to KP releasing a kit of the SIAI-Marchetti SF.260, now comes word that Special Hobby will do so as well.

MB.151/152

Dora wings has announced a new kit.  This is good news for modelers of the early WWII era.

China/Taiwan

Looks like a game of chicken with high powered weapons.  I haven’t had to drag this clip out in a while.

Zvezda C-130H

More info on the Zvezda C-130H due to be released soon.  Looks like USANG, Polish, South Korean, British and Japanese markings.
