Hate to burst the OP's precious bubble, but most of the white country was rooting against Puke back then, regardless of the other team's color. They were just too easy to hate. Oh, and it was a seasonal sport then, too. Are you like 20-something?...

Probably true,
But what is also likely true in the case of these [b]USAF-operated[/b] aircraft is that

Here's the REAL problem:
Yeah, sure, 60% of their kids get financial aid. But not if their parents are middle class. If your household is > $150k, which is middle to even lower middle class in a lot of the country, you won't get anything from them. So their 60% on financial aid student population...

Posted by TheRealTigerHorn on 2/21/24 at 4:45 pm
I am old enough to have witnessed the Apollo 11 launch firsthand, and then the moonwalk on TV. I grew up to be an engineer, and in the 1980-90s, I designed, built and tested hardware that flew in both sub-orbital and orbital flights. I worked firsthand with many retirees from the Apollo era who were...

You don't know a lot about history bud.
"First" space station - one crew - ONE - made it to the station, then died when they tried to leave. Skylab went up two years later and was successful, despite a cranky solar panel.
As for Venus, they launched 28 spacecraft, 13 actually got there and 8...

Pre-internet, absolutely! If your profs only tested from their notes, then that's a comment on the school, the major, or both.
Today? I might, really hard to tell. Offspring in engineering classes seem to be using theirs in addition to all the online options. ...
