My Netgear R6900P isn't cutting it anymore. Always having to power cycle it weekly if not more than that. I'm needing something with multiple frequencies for WiFi as well as a way I can set up a "Guest" network separate from the main usage. I would need some kind of parental controls on the Guest ...

Hell I'm 5'9" and worked on CCTT and I hated getting in the driver's compartment on a simulator. I could just imagine how a driver had to contort his body to get in through the hatch on a real Abrams. ...

The Marlin Model 81 is a bolt action .22 LR (shoots shorts too) that my dad have and I have it now. Shoots great. Problem is somewhere between me using it when I was 16 and now getting it in 2009 dad must have had something happened and the stock is cracked near the barrel. Looking to replace the...
For this flight, SLS is behind on the construction and certification of the vehicle. They wanted to get away from the ICPS (Interim Cryo Prop System) second stage but that fell through and they had to use another ICPS that ULA designed/built. They are gonna run out of those engines/modules QUICKLY...
The issues are the main engines and the technology behind them. They are still using SSMEs (Space Shuttle Main Engines) to power SLS. Once they run out of those they have to redesign or purchase them. Then they have to be certified for man rated spaceflight. The avionics and other systems are arc...
