Do actually talk like this?

Last I saw he was talking to you. No wonder he quit.

Puting the generators upstairs costs to much?

I think we all know reactors get hot and need circulating water to cool them. Nether the reactor or the generator where damaged by the earthquake. The generators were taken out by the tsunami and that alone caused the current crises. I assume the plants are at or near sea level[first mistake]. The trillion doller question is why were the generators placed in a location that was venerable to a flood? Why were they not placed high in the structure of the plant?

Always got to be someones fault. No doubt the driver swerved to hit him.

Woman and forbidden fruit-mankinds age old curse.

I don't have a dog. Ever thought why Texas has more non-Navy militery bases than, say Arizona? Politics maybe? But of course your remarkably simplistic view of the world has no room for any thing more complex then "geographically blessed".

Why?

You will be recognized posthumously. Hint hint

Hawaii Closer to the equator, perfect climate,surrounded by water. But that messes up your "blessed" theory. But a Florida location doe's have some perks

I get him in the afternoon. With out question my favorite radio show.

I suspect far more of the latter. In the hardest hit areas-Fla,Az,Ca,Nevada-Condos were changing hands several times before they were completed. Pure speculation, not someone looking for a home. As far as legit homebuyers, if you can't be bothered to understand the danger of a ARM [or even know you're signing one] I have no sympathy.

The control surfaces on the trailing edge of the wing appear quite conventional-ailerons on the outboard edge for banking, flaps ["elevons"] inboard for lift. The flaps apparently go up as well as the normal down. If they are raising the flaps for pitch control that would also reduce wing lift, explaining the high approach speed. Anyway, it's got to be a handful to fly. I suspect a computer is doing more than the guy in the left seat.

No, everything I fly is better in the atmosphere than a shuttle I suspect. Course my service ceiling is 14,000 so I have concede them that. Frankly if I didn't know better I would swear the shuttle could never fly. Pusher power with far aft wings like a Beech Starship but without the canard, I don't see where they are getting their elevator control from. There is something that appears to be a elevator directly under the engines, but there is no way it's getting air flow over the top.

Got my pilots license some years ago. Given the poor crosswind capability's of the shuttle[max 17 MPH is pretty bad] I am surprised they do not have a E-W runway in addition to the existing N-S. I noticed lightning is scrub also. Could you pick a worse place than FLA?

I don't think you would enjoy overnight hiking trips.

No one misses nozzlenuts?

First of all I was not talking to you. That would be a waste of time. I was speculating why they may have to land at Edwards rather than FLA. Of course you missed the significance of FLA having only one runway and Edwards having two in a x shape as far as crosswind landings are concerned, and ran off with you're goofball geography obsession. link 17 MPH is lame. I can land a 152 all day in a 17 MPH crosswind, with half my rudder left.

FLA has only one runway: 15-33. So if the wind is, say coming from 240 you are forced to deal with a cross wind. I really doesn't know, but the shuttle just doesn't look like it could handle much of a cross wind component. Edwards has two runways in a x shape so you can aways land into the wind. I have no idea why they would care about clouds. Are they returning from orbit under visual flight rules?

Why just WNY? Canada?

Yes, but how many of you play yourself in a hit TV show? Eric

No I just don't sit in front of a computer all day and research obscure organizations I could not care less about.

Some non-Muslim apologists appear even more sensitive.

Sometimes you can be as hard to understand as Eric. What is Anon and 4chan?
