President Donald Trump held a press conference today to discuss the tragedy that unfolded last night when a military Blackhawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines passenger plane resulting in over 60+ deaths.

During the press conference, he blamed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) practices, former Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, former President Biden and former President Obama for the crash.

President Trump fired the heads of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Coast Guard, and disbanded the Aviation Security Advisory Committee and fired 100 Federal Aviation Administration agents.

Elon Musk forced the FAA Administrator to resign once Trump took office because the FAA fined SpaceX for failing to get approval for launch changes causing the position to be currently vacant.

Absolutely disgusting.

Proposal: Dyna-Soar/Little Joe II Suborbital Flight Test Program

"The X-20 Dyna-Soar program is often remembered as one of the biggest lost opportunities in the history of manned space flight. Evolving from the WS-464L Program, Dyna-Soar had great potential for use as a military space platform as well as civilian science laboratory. Unlike the earlier Mercury, Gemini and Apollo capsules that were single-use vehicles returning to earth under a parachute system, the X-20 was a winged vehicle, capable of landing on select runways, then refur- bished and utilized again.

Initial flight testing of the Dyna-Soar had the vehicle dropped from a modified B-52C, 53-0399, carrier aircraft to test atmospheric handling qualities and landing techniques. The USAF selected Ed wards AFB, CA, and White Sands Missile Range, NM, due to their natural runway surfaces. (AFTC History Office)

The initial phase of the X-20 flight test program had the vehicle dropped from high altitudes from a B-52C mothership to test atmospheric aerodynamic handing of the vehicle, as well as develop landing techniques at Edwards AFB, CA. The second phase of testing involved sending the X-20 on unmanned and manned orbital spaceflight test mis- sions powered by a Titan III rocket booster which left a large gap in the standard progression of flight testing. The Convair Division of General Dynam- ics proposed making suborbital test flights using a Little Joe II booster.

The Little Joe II was a clustered, solid-propellant rocket booster designed as unguided and controllable versions. The vehicle could accommodate one to seven, 40-inch diameter, 100,000-lb thrust, Aerojet Algol 1D solid rocket mo- tors. With minor modifications the im proved launch vehicle (IPLV) could ac commodate the more advanced 44-inch diameter Algol IIA motors.

Little Joe II had the reputation as a reliable work- horse of the early manned space program, testing Mercury and Apollo escape and recovery systems from various launch locations. The Little Joe II booster was a versatile rocket with capabilities not found on many systems of the day and could be adapted and configured for several different flight profiles.

This detailed dimensional drawing shows some of the modifications required for the Little Joe il booster in order to carry the Dyna-Soar test vehicle. In addition to the upper adapter fairing, the booster required larger aerodynamic stabilizing fins to compensate for the larger payload. (Convair)

Convair proposed making test flights of the Dyna- Soar/Little Joe II combination on an overland range between Edwards AFB, CA and the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. Launching from Edwards AFB provided a lakebed in case of an aborted launch . and emergency landing. Range instrumentation was already in place at both sites, keeping the range support cost to a minimum.

Two different versions of the modified Little Joe II booster

The Dyna-Soar test vehicle would be mounted atop the Little Joe II booster with a two-part transition fairing, gloved over the X-20 to minimize drag and would be jettisoned prior to separation. This variation of the Little Joe II booster required movable aerodynamic fins, larger than those used on standard Little Joe II launches.

A Boeing/USAF X-20 Dyan-Soar is boosted skyward for a suborbital test flight from Edwards AFB, CA towards White Sands Missile Range, NM, aboard a Convair Little Joe II. The larger stabilizing fins and aerodynamic fair- ing around the Dyna-Soar are noteworthy. (Convair)

Utilizing a standard Little Joe II booster, the X-20 could be propelled to a maximum speed of 10,000 fps (approximately 6,800 mph) at an altitude near 170,000 feet. With the improved Little Joe II launch vehi- cle, those figures would rise to a speed of 15,000 fps (approximately 10,200 mph) and an altitude near 200,000 feet. The entire flight covered approximately 582 nautical miles, with the booster impacting the desert floor just over halfway through the flight. The Dyna-Soar test vehicle would experience considerable aerodynamic heating during the reentry phase with the final landing on the alkali flats of the White Sands Missile Range.

The Dyna-Soar suborbital program required a minimum of five test flights: two unmanned flights utilizing the existing automatic guidance, and three manned flights. Convair projected the total price of the five-flight test program at $12.2 million, considerably less than the projected $18 million per flight for a Titan III booster (figures are in FY 1965 dollars)."

Day 1 of WWWY 2024. 30 seconds of Saturday. Spent the rest of the song actually looking with my eyes instead of my phone.

Day four, The BeetleJhost and Jomez Addams ! . .and planes. .

stills and fun facts below !

BeetleJhosts:

shorter / spiker hair

broken nose and deviated septum (one of the reasons he talks like that)

pronounced cheekbones

fangs

deep eye bags

Joemez Addams:

the longest hair of the jhosts (his Mortica has sorter hair similar to the actual Gomez Addams)

can only grow a mustache

sunken in face and tired eyes

only able to be seen in grayscale, canonically has no colors !

spanish accent but still from Nashville !

Planes:

skinnier because he doesn't care about taking care of himself

pricing scars, only has them on his ears now

visually, the youngest looking jhost

was never married and never had a kid ! (currently still single-ish)

likes fighting with Joe (Joe does not)

I got home a few hours ago and I'm emo as fuck. I watched Seven Kings Must Die on the train back home, which was dumb, and I miss the cast and my friends a lot already. The absolute highlight of the con for me was Arnas very unexpectedly reassuring me that I am deserving of good things, to which I said he is also a very deserving person but he quickly said 'no, no, this is not about me,' and that made me very emotional for the rest of the evening.

Anyway, shortly after all that I finally popped the big question, you guys! He wrote down a quote I picked myself so I can get it tattooed some day and I can't wait to get it, hopefully next year.

I will never stop loving him as an actor and person, and I will never stop loving Sihtric. No matter what, I will n e v e r let anything damage or take my comfort character away from me again, because he's my comfort character and I need him.

Under the cut is a picture of our living room wall, which now holds a stunning piece of art and a few of the photo ops (not all, because I ran out of frames).

I hope Jamarr is picking Joe up right now because he needs it. He looks so defeated in the press conference.

you know, i get an ask like this after every loss lol. and i'm gonna be honest, ja'marr also needs picking up. he's not happy about this, he's devastated too. i hope they're picking /each other/ up.

[frontseathater]

news is a bit late, but i thought the format was more relevant now

[redjaybathood]

Don't make a mistake, I'm pissed at people who voted (for Trump) more than those who didn't vote. But buddy, pal, comrade. How did that work out for you and everyone else, huh?
