1934 - Fritz Zwicky 'frozen star' hypothesis ... if you mean Zicky and Baade propose the existence of the neutron star YES
1965 - Dick Feynman's Nobel. Did he? Oh well done Dick! :) but NOPE
1974 - Taylor - Hulse pulsar. Good for them! :) but NOPE

20141118 ... there was a post... :)
Speaking of older generations *affronted blink* thankyou Einstein. 204 hours 10 minutes and 24 seconds. Charming! A new record for the numerous insults that have been flung at my computer with regards estimated crunching time. I and my dinosaur feel so... speshul. *lower nose to a point at which looking down at self is most withering* Thank you! :)
YAY Orion! :)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.
Got back on at ~ minus 60 seconds. What a lovely burn, and a great view up the exhaust pipes for sure. It is hard to go past H2 + LOX for grunt, & I thought I heard them say it was hydrazine on the verniers.
I am a child again ! :-)
Cheers, Mike.

Takes me back to 7th grade. I remember sitting in front of a Sear's Silvertone black and white TV as they prepared to launch Allen Shepard "down range".
[edit] back then my "Google" was a set of "Funk and Wagnals", we could not afford Britannicas.

Good Morning Rob, Mike, Annie, Mikey !
A Beautiful Launch ! I was still at work but I managed to view the launch on my computer )
Allen Shepard was a bit before my time but, the Orion launch definitely brought me back in time to the late 1960's
when I was 'glued' to the TV watching the Apollo launches !
Bravo NASA ! The Orion launch is the most interesting thing Nasa has accomplished
since the first couple of Space Shuttle launches and before that the Saturn 5 Launches !
Orion capsule recovered. Saw some pretty cool videos. Seems it employed two sets of parachutes. The first designed to slow it so main chute deployment would be successful. Rentry heat 4000 degrees. One video showed it dropping w/o chute deployment - like an anvil - with similar glide characteristics.
as of now its a "go" there.

[edit] ceiling to horizon to low for pics, but I could "hear it". Oh, well I will have to wait for the reruns to see the liftoff.

on board camera imaging is pretty cool. almost like "being there".

Well well :) Some progress I see! :)
