xul

See the pattern of the engines of the first stage of N1. I think the purpose of the outside fuel/oxidizer lines was just for distributing fuel/oxidizer evenly to each engine. Because if Russian put the lines inside tank, only one line, either fuel or oxidizer, could positioned at the center of the rings. And since it had 30 engines, if another line wasn't at the center of the 2 rings, it would be very difficult to distribute fuel/oxidizer to each engine evenly, so they resolved the problem by placing the 2nd line outside, I guess.

So who do you think you are? Some would-be internet French grammar teacher? As for grammar, there is a huge difference between the meanings of the sentences below: 1) Hitler disagrees a post of xul and will report it to Gestapo because the post has a parody video in which Hitler plays Churchill. 2) Hitler disagrees posters like Rue because they are Jewish. The sentence 2 means Hitler will disagree anything Rue posted because of his identity, even if what he says in the post is obviously correct or true. For example: (In 1939) xul: Who is the Fuhrer of Germany? Rue: Hitler is. Hitler: Disagree! I'm not Fuhrer. Goring: Finally, it's my turn. Arrest him! So Hitler was arrested in 1939 and ww2 wouldn't happen....LOL, even Hitler was unlikely that silly.

This is why Soviet lost the Cold War. The Soviet leadership hesitated at beginning. They knew Soviet economy couldn't afford such luxury TV show. But at end, when they saw Apollo Program was on the way, the idea of face keeping dominated their minds. So they greenlighted N1 project without sufficient funds which forced Korolev taking very risky approach. Finally, Soviet lost both face and money on N1 project. It kinda like Hitler in Stalingrad. He wanted Caucasus without enough German troops. So he borrowed some from Romania and Italy instead. Finally he lost both his troops and Caucasus.

This is exactly what I meant....

Yes, if he was American President he had done a great job.....

Hitler was elected to do what his voters meant him to do And there are Dr. Goebbels comment: We didn't force German people. They gave us the mandate. And now their little throats are being cut.....

In this video, the oaf whom Hitler played thought he had won the ww2. Did he win? At the end of the war, he lost what British fought for from the beginning....Poland, Eastern Europe, Canada, the Empire.....

He escalated the Cold War to a new level..... Eisenhower tried to limit the extent of the Cold War to a manageable level. It was JFK who turned it off the course just for the TV effect which would benefit his election campaign.

It's sexy enough for a movie.... There are some conspiracists who believe the Moon landing was fake. If I was an American I would wish that Apollo Program was a just a Hollywood project which used CGI to create splendid visual effect to fool its audience since it would save a lot of money. Just imagine, if you were an American and President Trump popped up on TV screen announcing "I have just borrowed $700000 billion from foreign countries to send a couple of American talking monkeys to Mars" , how would you feel? Happy or sad? There was a film King Kong in which a crazy film maker captured a monster for shooting a film to please his audience. In reality, JFK was the crazy film maker and Apollo Program was his monster, though it wasn't the only one. There will be many old faces showing up on big screen in 2019. Top Gun 2, new Midway....now there is Apollo 11....it's kinda like a dying ww2 veteran taking out all his old medals to bring them to his coffin....

Hitler was merely a patient of depression anxiety. He was a ww1 veteran and probably got the problem during an enemy chemical attack. Many years ago, when I read the books of ww2 and memos of those German generals, I wondered why Hitler made so many bizarre decisions as if he lost the sense of seriousness of the situation of the war. I had thought he might be a psychopath until a couple of months ago when my friend's wife was hospitalized due to some serious disease. I called him and told him "try to keep her in optimistic mood." "She is more optimistic than me," my friend replied. "The doctors give ICU patients some drugs so they all are optimistic." That night when I randomly picked up a ww2 book, I suddenly realized what happened to Hitler. Methamphetamine, of course. Methamphetamine was widely used to treat depression and doctors didn't know its side effects then. So Hitler's doctors naturally used it on their Fuhrer to treat his depression. When the war went wrong, Hitler went to his doctor:"The dose of drug is no longer effective. I feet bad again" The doctors didn't know Hitler's feeling was normal because Dr. Goebbels told them the war was going well, so they injected more methamphetamine into Hitler's blood to treat his "depression" and kept him always optimistic about the war. As of Stalin, he was a cruel man but not a psychopath, so was Chairman Mao. They did kill and destroy, but they did these for purpose. For example: Hitler breaks into a store, then burns it and kills its Jewish owner for no reason. He is a psychopath. Stalin breaks into a store for stealing money, then he burns up the store and kills its owner for covering up his crime. He was a criminal and cruel man, but not a psychopath. He was perfectly sane when he did these. If engineers put tons of counterweights in the front part of a Boeing 737 max, it will no longer need MCAS and will no longer be problematic. But they will not do this because the weights may lower fuel efficiency so the plane won't sell. Besides, German was once a civilized society but it didn't prevent Nazi rose to power. If you think Gemany had not been civilized long enough then, just see France: Vichy France Marshal Petain didn't seize power with help from his army. He was empowered by legitimate representatives of French people to turn his country to a fascist state. And there is Trump. He only got half of the voters as his hardcore supporters, he has behaved more like a Fuhrer than a normal president. If he did have achieved what he promised, I mean build great walls, consentration-camp immigrants, reboot economy, get jobs back, build huge military, make US a slave state again....it won't be hard to imagine how many Americans would become his new followers. And once he got over 90% votes in an election like Nazi did in November 1933, what kind of counterweights could stop him to become a Fuhrer if he wanted to? The economic situation in US nowadays is no way close to the situation of Germany or Russia in 1933 or.1918, but we all have seen how Americans has changed the civilization of their society. Once the situation was as worse as the one under which Nazi or Bolshevik rose in power, how far would they go to decivilize their system?

I think the old ww1German generals like Guderian and Rundstedt were stuck on Rule of Law. After all, Hitler was a legitimate ruler of Germany then. His party won the 1933 election, and he was empowered as the Chancellor via legitimate process. Guderian and Rundstedt would make model citizens of Canada if they were Canadian.... Most people don't know, the success of most modern areospace and aviation projects reflects the economic and industrial strength of a nation rather than how intelligent the engineers and scientists who work on the projects. For example: India is capable to lunch lunar rocket and sent something to the surface of the Moon but Canada isn't. It's nothing about Indians brown ass' gene is superior than Canadian white ass gene. It just reflects the rise of Indian economic and industrial power and the fall of Canadian economic and industrial power. Honestly, US should still take the most credits of the success of Appolo Program. If Von Brauwn fled to South America like most of Nazis, US would still send men to the Moon, might have a few years of delay, meanwhile he would rot in some ranch and his name would be forgotten.

It seems like BC2004's ancestors migrated to US more than 100 years ago.....

Your Americans should know, most people in the world dislike US not because you are rich but meddlesome. Just like raccoons roaming in our yards. Lots of people dislike them because they mess up our trash cans. But destroy them? No need. Just buying some raccoon proof trash cans the problem will be fixed. The raccoons, will still roam in our yards and probably call it freedom of navigation operations. But both we and they know that they will no longer be able to mess up our yards...

Oops! I forgot adding second question on second example: After Americans leave earth, will other parts of the world feel better? I think it depends The people in those countries which are bombed 48 times by F-16s will cheer for the event Russian will welcome it since without US, Russia will become a new Soviet and great again. China will welcome the event in general. The political and military benefits are obvious. On the other hand, there will be economic impact since US is the major market of Chinese industrial products. I think Indian will welcome the event. American will leave a huge vacant in Indian Ocean region and Indian will be able to realize their long-lasting dream of dominating the region due to its geographic advantage. Among those American allies: Japan will welcome it. If you know Japan is actually still an occupied country like Iraq you will understand it though like China, there will be economic impart. EU will definitely welcome it though they may have some Russian problem needs to be fixed. But considering Russia current economic status, it won't be difficult. All US protection l beggars like Taiwan, Dalai Lama, some Eastern Europe small countries, all sorts of so-called freedom fighters who are funded by CIA.....will cry for their dying day....

Before discuss this topic, let's see an example: Tom is an American capitalist who owns a company with a factory which is a Walmart supplier and employs 100 American workers. Tom earns $1,000,000/yearly and his workers are paid $50,000/yearly. One day Walmart hacks the price of Tom's company's products so Tom's income becomes $0/yearly. "Why should I pay every worker $50,000 each year meanwhile I earns zero?" Tom thinks. So he closes his American factory and opens a new factory in China, and hires 100 Chinese workers who are paid $10,000/yearly. The question is: At the end of the year, how much Tom will earn? If we don't count in other factors like the tax or transportation costs...etc, the answer is Tom will earn (50,000-10,000)x100=$4,000,000/yearly. So, where does the 4 million dollars come from? A communist will say: It's obvious....Tom siphons $40,000 from each of his poor Chinese worker yearly... A capitalist will say: No. Tom doesn't force the Chinese workers to accept the wage. Exactly he pays his workers more than other Chinese companies do. IMO it seems like each American worker siphoned $40,000 yearly from Tom's pocket... ------------------------------------------------------ The example also works for a country: NASA has found a planet which environment is just as same as earth. So NASA has build a spaceship which only American citizens are allowed aboard. I guess at this point some Americans will yell: "What? No Russians, no Chinese, no Muslim.....I'm a F-35 maker. How could I live on that planet without them?" I advice these F-35 makers just don't worry. In a pure USA blood planet, without Russians, Chinese, Muslims....I'm sure your Americans will begin to blast each others asses sooner or later just like what you did 150 years ago. It's the human nature. So you can still sell your F-35s there. My question is: In that planet, will you Americans live better than the current world?

In 1944, he was appointed Chief of Staff of the Army by Hitler after the failure of July 20 Plot, succeeding General Zeitzler. He hold the position until shortly before the last month of the Third Reich, so he was able to meet Hitler everyday during the last year of Hitler's life. If someone who wants to learn the detailed Hitler's personality, Guderian's memo is more valuable than Meistain's, who as a army group commander, only occasionally met Hitler. To generals, comparing to Stalin, Hitler wasn't a bad boss. On the last day with Hitler, Guderian and Hitler shouted each other before other generals. Hitler only asked him to have 6 weeks leave for his heart disease---a very polite way to relieve a subordinate. And this wasn't the only time he shouted at Hitler. There were other occasions he and Hitler quarreled so loud that Hitler's adjutant had to come in and ask them if they wanted to shut the window since everyone outside could hear them. Hitler didn't kill everyone who refused to joint Nazi or disagreed with him. Of course he also didn't promote them. Guderian had served as Hitler's Chief of Staff of the Army for nearly a year without getting any medal from Hitler for being honest to him. Guderian's successor, General Krabs, hold the position for only a month, but Hitler added a Oak Leaver over his Iron Cross for being his yes-man and blind follower.....the general's last following action was to commit suicide in that bunker after his Fuhrer...

Even before the last day of Hitler's millennium reich, most Germans were not Nazis, that's the fact. Though I'm sure most of them wanted Germany to win the war even if which meant Nazi would rule Europe. But there is still some significant difference between being a Nazi and being a German who wanted Nazi Germany to win. To the Germans who wanted to overthrow the result of ww1, it wasn't necessary to embrace Nazism. In Guderian's Erinnerungen eines Soldaten / Panzer Leader, he described how he dealt with Hitler's order which obviously violated the Geneva Convention: So even if you were a German general, you still could refuse to execute Nazi's order if it obviously violated your moral judgement. The only consequence was, Guderian ended up with the rank of colonel general, but Rommel and Manstein who were more comfortable embracing Nazi ideology made field marshals. Of course, after Nazi was defeated, Manstein made a prisoner for war crimes by Nerumberg Trail. Guderian didn't. Some sort of No Gain No Pain....LOL

If there is someone who think these "male, white" guys did extraordinary things in their era thus are the proof of their racial superiority, he has misunderstood the history. The fact is, just within 5 decades, these spendthrifts had squandered over the fortune which their forefathers had accumulated for hundreds years via enslaving other race and plundering on other nations. Then, since they could no longer use slave labors to do the low paying jobs, they out sourced the jobs to foreign countries to continue their extravagant lifestyle thus crippled their country's economy and made themselves from the world biggest creditor to biggest debtor. Their so-called achievements like lunar rockets or F-35, are no better than ancient Chinese emperor's Great Wall. All these things are just expensive splendid engineering success but also economic failure, which will cripple a country's economy and eventually bring the whole empire down. It's just like in 1941 and 1942, if some German thought the Nazi's war "success" was the proof of their racial superiority, he was seriously mistaken. Now from history we all have learnt that Hitler's "success" just over stretched German military and economic power, and eventually caused Nazi Germany's downfall. I read from some youtuber's comment that Hitler was actually dictating his Stalingrad speech to his secretary at the beginning of the movie. I really love the humor of these movie makers.

If he hated Hitler and Nazism, he wouldn't join Nazi just for the promotion of his career. This is my point. Good Nazis are still Nazis. The difference is just like Canadian liberal boss vs conservative boss: PM Justin Trudeau: "Dear President Obama, I regrettably inform you that I have to withdraw Canadian troops from Afghanistan. You know since Canada is a peace loving country, we don't want having blood on our hands. But don't worry, I'll set up a new program to train Afghan army officers in Canada to help you to win the unwinnable war.....in short, train Muslim to kill Muslim instead of killing them by our own hands....that's the difference between my policy and my predecessor's....."

Just see the timing: In July 1943, he was promoted to a professor by Hitler himself. In October 1943, he was arrested by his direct SS boss Hans Kammler, for saying the war wasn't going well. I guess it was just because of jealousy. His boss didn't want Von Braun to become Hitler's new pet boy to bypass him, so he got him in the first place. Albert Speer was once Hilter's architect pet boy. He was promoted into Hitler's inner circle from nowhere by Hitler himself. The other Nazi leaders just didn't want another pet boy over taking them.

When I joked that Hitler would add golden oak leave on Von Braun's already earned iron cross, I didn't know he did have 2 of such things....one in 1943 another in 1944 The relationship between Hitler and Von Braun: Wernher von Braun As of his arrest, It's nothing related with Hitler. On the other hand, Hitler saved his neck: Beside, the alleged arrest probably came from Von Braun's tale. If you believed all these tales of these good Nazis', you would think Hitler was a great leader since he could accommodate so many Hitler haters under his command... LOL If the tale was true, Von Braun earned 2 iron crosses meanwhile after under arrest in 1943?

In the last few days of the European theatre of WW2, the Nazis rushed towards west to surrender US for a reason: The systems of US and Nazi were both based on the same ground----racialism. The difference is Nazi was over in 1945 but in some states of USA black students still had no right to share the same school with white kids in 1969. Nobody with normal IQ would expect there were colors in a agency like NASA. Besides, the core of the so-called American white nerds were Germans, or exactly former Nazis. They did their job well both technologically and politically. The later means making US to spend lavishly on sending talking monkeys on moon to make Americans cheering up like monkeys who have sucked marijuana, meanwhile the fundamental of US industrial power like auto industry was overtaken by Germany and Japan which will result the whole empire like a skyscraper built on sand. If Hitler knew what they would achieve, he would have added them Golden Oak Leaves on the Iron Crosses which they had already earned for using slave labor to build the vengeance rockets for Hitler...

Flawed analysis, failed oversight: How Boeing, FAA certified the suspect 737 MAX flight control system In short: 1. Boeing mounted 2 larger new engines on the old 373 fuselage to save itself R&D costs and its customers' pilots training costs. The approach resulted the max models aerodynamically unstable and couldn't pass FAA certification, so Boeing added MCAS on these models trying to fix the problem, or exactly to cover the problem up. This is why MCAS is still on even if the auto-pilot is turned off-----because the plane is unsafe without it. And MCAS wasn't mentioned in the manuals for the same reason----if customers knew the true purpose of MCAS, who would buy these planes? 2. The design of MCAS has many fundamental flaw. The whole system merely depends on single Angle of Attack sensor, no redundancy at all. Which means if the AoA sensor fails the plane will continue nose down until crash. 3.Due to lack of funds, FAA out-sourced certification jobs to India...LOL, I'm joking. But India might be better since it's still a third party. FAA actually delegated most of certifying work to Boeing. Which means Boeing certified its own planes and the third party certification became meaningless. 4. Using false data passed FAA certification. The FAA document shows each time MCAS only adjusts 0.6 degrees horizontal tail, but after Lion Air crash, Boeing document shows the limit is 2.5 degrees, 4 times greater than what FAA knew. It seems like the whole system wasn't designed by engineers but conceived by CEO and MBAs. If you have never met a CEO or MBA in real world, there is an example:

This time the left cat won. The right cat roared loudly and attacked first, but ended up with a piece of fur near a ear tearing off and had to back down. But I'm sure the right cat will come back another day. It's cat nature...

Trump without wall, Darth Vader without mask...to Trump supporters, there is nothing worse than these I wish Trump would succeed in 2020 so people around the world would have additional 4 years cat fights to watch
