Wasn’t Thiokol involved in the Challenger disaster?

“We were standing in front of a glistening and glowing hot wall of fire,” German Capt. Thomas Hacken,

Germans always wax poetic when they talk of warfare.

What der heck is McCain doing in Germany when he’s supposed to be shuffling off this mortal coil?

[pfflier]

Yes that was Morton-Thiokol. They recommended against the launch and NASA overrode them.

This incident would not have any similarities to the seal issue in Challenger.

Feynman pantsed that company by placing one of the gaskets that failed into a glass of ice water before a press conference and pulled it apart like cheese.

End of investigation.

The Merkel Curse continues. First the worst World cup since Hitler (appropriate for Herr Merkel) and now this. Here’s hoping she fails to lie her way through the “EU Migrant Conference” and is out of power by the end of July.

Heh, I don’t speak German, but you don’t have to be a linguist to know what “Oh,Scheisse!” means!

[DCBryan1]

Too gun light IMHO...they need a 25mm or 30mm chain gun on each side.....big gun gap between 76mm and .50cal.

[rlmorel]

Heh, “NOW SET CONDITION ZULU!”

I hated “NOW SET CONDITION CIRCLE WILLIAM!”

You see, this is what happens when you source your engines from the Chengdu Peoples Fireworks Factory. Lowest bidder...

[NorthMountain]

Wasn’t Thiokol involved in the Challenger disaster?

Yes. Their "involvement" was telling the goddam politically motivated idiots at NASA "DO NOT LAUNCH!!!".

[NorthMountain]

How about a "Rheinmetall MLG27 RWS 27mm gun"? They should definitely put one amidships on each side ...

Oh, wait ...

;'}

[SJSAMPLE]

There are two 27mm guns amidships.
