You can see it really well in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O90FROx8J3Y&hd=1

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.

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.

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.

get rid of the ridiculous caps

Sprint is the last hope. Once they instate caps then there will be no competitive reason for anybody to not have caps.

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!

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?

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

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.
