SpaceX launch scrubbed tonight. Abort during ignition sequence at 3:44 central time. by ademu5in science

[–]OompaOrangeFace 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, I think they have to replace the igniters (hypergolic). If you watch engine test videos, there is a green flash right at lightoff which is the hypergolic mixture lighting the RP-1/LOX.

SpaceX launch scrapped in last-second drama by josefonsecain space

[–]OompaOrangeFace 0 points1 point ago

Elon Musk, overseeing the countdown from the company's mission control center in Hawthorne, Calif., initially tweeted that it might be possible to resolve the problem by changing the pressure limits in the control software. But Shotwell said "that was early data. Further analysis of the data looks like it's something we want to go in and inspect."

Elon seems a bit impetuous. Not exactly a shining moment of technical competence.

Nope, that's not going to happen. I could maybe see them swap an engine from it if they absolutely have to though.

DAE sometimes feel like they might never actually find a SO? by ManInTheMiragein DoesAnybodyElse

[–]OompaOrangeFace 0 points1 point ago

Definitely. I'm almost 25 (shit I'm getting old) and I can't see myself ever having a relationship for many reasons. #1 is that I'm extremely private. That by itself doesn't stop me, but the fact that I wouldn't want to be seen in public (by somebody I know) with a girl does stop me. Secondly, I don't know how my family would react if I ever got a girlfriend and I don't want to find out.

Basically, I need to move to a new city where nobody knows me and never tell my family that I have a girlfriend...

I am only a girl of fifteen

You're 15. I'm sure we all appreciate your comments, but honestly, you don't have anything to provide to the discussion.

How awkward would it be to ask your brother to jerk off into a cup?

Don't be surprised at how many pages one redditor can view in a month.

What you don't realize is that two years ago there were only about 200,000 people on reddit; enough to be interesting, but not enough to bring in the idiot masses.

Most people I know call it OKC.

My wife is disabled due to a crash accident that happened 4 years ago. Is it wrong of me to want to move on with my life? by ThrowawayAcctforeverin AskReddit

[–]OompaOrangeFace 0 points1 point ago

If my sister were to become paralyzed as your wife is I would feel it my duty to tell you to move on and let her blood family take care of her.

This is really amazing! I browsed through it and I'm extremely impressed with the amount of effort that you've put in to this. I definitely have it bookmarked for future study!

Most Americans did NOT support the Apollo missions in the 1960s, a reminder that Congress must often act in the face of public criticism to achieve science goals by niharjshahin space

[–]OompaOrangeFace 0 points1 point ago

I agree with a lot of what you say. However, I will remind you that they have 1,700 employees and I doubt that they all get paid to just sit around.

Confidentially, we already have Melinda Gates on contraception going out.

Am I reading this wrong, or was this statement intended to be confidential?

how do you find a boyfriend? by blue_briarin relationship_advice

[–]OompaOrangeFace 1 point2 points ago

Is this real life? A pretty girl can't find a type A macho man? Do you leave the house?

This is the 3rd girlfriend I've ever had (out of the last 4 or so) who has ended up going through either my texts or emails without telling me. I would like to know if I'm the actual problem here. by GSpotAssassinin relationship_advice

Immaturity knows no age my friend.

This is the most frustrating thing to me. I was more mature at 18 than most of the 30 year olds I work with. It pisses me off to be a 24 year old supervisor of "adults" who don't know how to manage anything.
