Best solder free electrical connection

Well one of the problems with the big engines NASA was using was getting the fuel in fast enough. They did this by fitting big pumps. Apparently the Russians used a turbine powered by the rocket to achieve it, something NASA said wasn't possible. It saved weight and gave more thrust. What the Russians couldn't do was make stuff well.

It wasn't used much though, other rockets don't have a much worse failure rate, not even the shuttle. They cancelled the last few Apollo missions, partly to avoid an accident, they knew they were pushing their luck.

Do you know anything? Have you ever seen their tools, or how about the engines they built for their cargo ships.

Really? Do you always state the ovbvious? Their first rockets were smaller than the US rockets so they didn't need the additional thrust.

NASA had budget restrictions.

Unfortunately, some of them were 'never' glued. They make the rest look bad with their constant, mindless ranting. :(

More mindless ranting from the burnt out hippie alcoholic. You might as well stop setting followup-to: to alt.flame, asshole. I know you think you're smart, but you've burnt out too many neurons with the pot and other drugs.

From the way he looks, it looks like he hasn't been 'regular' in 30 years. ;-)

You don't know much about it do you? It did super cruise. It wouldn't have got halfway across the Atlantic if it had to use the after burners. There wasn't any in flight refuelling for it.

The Concorde was well down the development path when the problems started. The SST wasn't even started until it looked like Concorde was going to take the passengers away.

Are you claiming the shuttle is faster than Apollo then? Apollo was doing about 25,000 mph on re-entry, the shuttle doesn't.

I was trying to be polite. :)

You need to take a remedial reading course.

I've had online and real life stalkers, and one ass who posted some lies about my long dead mother. So I asked why he was online, when he was supposed to be picking up his hooker wife. He was furious, and got even madder when not one of his cronies agreed with him. Sometimes you have to hit them with a six foot 2"*4", right between the eyes before they get the message. He had been making fun of the fact that I'm a disabled US Army Veteran and bragged that he was exempt from military service, because he was diabetic. He harped anout it for months, with others reminding him that he started it. I had dumped him into the bit bucket, so I only saw it in replies.

Sigh. Why do you think NASA wouldn't use that turbine powered pump? The US space program was a lot more safety conscious than Russia's.

I don't know where in the US they would say 'amearkin'. Not that some dialect wouldn't say it that way, I just don't know in what region. I suspect the southern US or inner cities where a lot of the alphabet is ignored or elided over.

Not obvious enough for you to understand it appears.

At least I had some to burn out...

Good lord. What came over you?

Shame it didn't stop them killing more people then,.

Key word - "had"

Because they didn't know how as they didn't invent it and didn't have any good spies. PS they have used them since the Russians "sold" them some engines.

Yawn.
