Note: since "Dr. No" (name) "a" doesn't show up on google for me,
I'll have to tack this on to Larry's post. (responding to )

Shazzam! Now it will appear for you.

Larry, Larry, Larry,

While I hate to agree with a guy who claims to have hardware in lunar
and martian orbit, for example, who always posts in invisible
ink,)

It's Acme's Disappearing Reappearing ink, thank you. And the lunar stuff I
designed isn't in orbit, it's on the surface. At least it's intact, unlike
Larry's brain.

Ah ha, but... Just like Larry's brain, it doesn't work right?

Not anymore, not for 20+ years or so. But it worked nicely for about 3 times
it's design life.

You
know, now I'm starting to believe you, Dr No (name)(secret scientist
"a.") Most of those Surveyors and Rangers crashed out of control or
shorted out on the surface right after contact. Then, let me guess...
your Martian project was the Deep Space 2 and the Mars Polar Lander.
Man, what big red dust clouds you've created, professor!

Ah, the Polar Impacter. No, go back a generation. I designed hardware that
worked, not this better faster cheaper crap that DT started.


Why do I get the feeling your space "hardware" was a standard issue
ice-box rivet or something? And you forgot to plug the freezer in...
poor NASA! Did those go into the main external tank on the last STS
mission too? LOL!

I never worked on Rockwell's shuttle. I worked on a couple of competing
proposals, though. Falling foam has been a problem since the first flight. I
never understood why they didn't just spray the foam on the INSIDE of the tank.
It wouldn't be subject to all those forces, and if any did fall off the turbo
pumps would chew it up easily.



BTW, did you and BWB go on vacation together? He stopped posting on Sept 28,
you disappeared on Sept 29th. Then you started posting again with the new
return address on Dec 19th, he came back on Dec 21. Your IP shows you're in
the
Direcway Southwest spot beam that covers Las Vegas. And you two are the
only ones here that don't like Sydney. Are you two neighbors or something?


As Howard Hughes said when asked if he really meant to fly the Spruce
Goose off the water: "You'll never know"

Wasn't that impressive. He got an airplane as close as it could be to it's
empty weight to fly a mile in ground effect. It did shut Congress up, though.


badplyer, er... pacwater...er

pacplyer!

(You mean with all your Cripto clearances, you can't figure this out?)

I let my clearances expire after I left my last consulting job. No use for them
anymore. It's my work that's classified, not me; I don't even have a secret
anymore.

I'm just letting you know you're leaving too many breadcrumbs behind. snip

Great Scott! It sounds like Dr. No (names)'s (a.k.a. )'s lunar
tracking beams are zeroing in on the position of me and my secret Las
Vegas laboratory! He may have the technology already to launch a
lunar dirty lie... I mean a lunar dirty bomb at me.

Drat! I shouldn't have dropped all those breadcrumbs out of the back
of the lunar rover prototype! Better fire up the Viking lander
vehicle testbed and hover on over to Burt Rutan's Space Ship One
facility. If Burt has the bugs worked out of the rockship, I believe
I just have time enough to blast into Lunar geostationary orbit and
latch on to the good Dr. No's lunar hardware...

There's only two problems. One: since 's 1960's vacuum-tube
Byzantine junk-pile is still highly classified (gotta protect that 16K
calculator and delco-remey"iron-ball" INS technology,) I can't call up
any design drawings, so I won't know what it looks like. Two: If
it's on the surface like he says, there may be Lunar Law
jurisdictional problems that we should consider first. It will be
difficult to hire a spaced-out lawyer this time of night and have a
trial to see if it's legal to stop something like a dirty bomb...

This looks like a job for...

Latchless Larry!

Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!

pacplyer – out .. LOL! :^D

(both you guys are way out there! But it's highly entertaining!)
