Leafing through the May 1963 issue of Popular Electronics (as one does...), I was amused to see this article on a now quite familiar topic.

Northrup Grumman aborted the launch of the Cygnus rocket destined to carry supplies to the ISS, with about 5 minutes to go!

From my back porch. If I had to guess I'd say maybe 10 miles from the launch pad. Pretty quite launch tonight. Did not shake much.

Very nice! -
That is so cool to live near a launch facility. That would never get old to watch em fly!

I am about the same distance away and it was a fantastic night launch...

Was it unusually quiet there too? I know it was a smaller Atlas but that was probably the quietest I've heard in 5 years we have been here. -

Heck, I enjoy watchin' small aircraft & bizjets on final approach to the nearby airport just a ways west of us here.
... and, every now and then, in the spring and early summer, we get to see the mommy plane and the daddy plane, who love each other very much...

Back on topic: It would be cool to see big skyrockets once in a while

Were they doing a mid air refuel????
-
yup.
I always think of @George Grand (of the Jersey Grands) when I see them go over. It's usually on Thursday evenings in the early evening (near dusk) in the late spring.

I wasn't sure where to put this, it's not a picture, and it doesn't need it's own thread.

Thanks!
I've got both the 'OO (soundtrack) originals; not 100% sure I need more vinyl copies (even if they might sound better)
The RTs, though... on it like a bonnet. Those are good rekkids and I have very, very little RT on licorice pizza (or is that pizzae?). -

My son sent me this picture, after receiving the SAE amp and Pioneer receiver (as a pre) from me a few weeks ago. I sent the Pioneer CD spinner to him previously, along with a copy of the new Tool CD.
Ouch! I immediately sent a reply, reminding him that the heaviest component must be on the bottom. Better yet son, get a rack! Kids. Baby steps!
My son just sent this pic to me. Much better! I'll remind him later about the loudness button at high volumes!
He sent me a text too, I had to smile! He's on his journey!

Well, his seed is planted. Next item on the list. Invite him to this forum so we can bankrupt help him choose wisely as he travels down his audio journey.

A Pacer! An old boss had a purple one I got to drive several times. Not too bad if I recall. Lots of room. Not really a performance vehicle. Circa 1976.
-
I'll say one thing about the AMC offerings: the sheet metal on their cars was heavy duty.
Other than that.......well......☺

Now... you've gotta admit. How cool would it be to roll into the local hip, happenin' spot in a Pacer?!

Just imagine. A turbo Pacer...
EDIT: Wait. It gets better.
We may all be on the brink of a deadly pandemic... but google "customized AMC Pacer" and just look at the wonders that are displayed in milliseconds!
To quote Paul Simon:These are the days of miracle and wonder -
Am I remembering correctly that the Pacer was about $3000 or was that the Yugo? I do remember the Yugos eventually were priced 2 for 1."Sometimes you have to look to the past to understand where you are going in the future"Anger is just anger. It isn’t good. It isn’t bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters.
You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice. Jim Butcher
Harry / Marietta GA -
I think that was the Yugo. I remember when they first came out, I was at a dealership and they had one on the showroom floor. I sat down in the driver's seat and proceeded to close the door....when the entire door handle on the inside of the car fell right off. Quality was obviously not a concern.
