Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney#Cameroon https://t.co/bKteFZ3iWE
Perhaps neocons will understand it with this example: if we were in the Middle Ages, the Pope would have already excommunicated the entire Trump administration and called for a Crusade against Israel for the harm it is causing to local Christian communities and pilgrims in the Holy Places. So, be glad we are in a peaceful era in which the Pope only advocates for peace and diplomacy.
The astro-inertial navigation system (ANS) of the SR-71 Blackbird was a remarkable feat of engineering that allowed the aircraft to navigate with unprecedented precision and accuracy, even over long distances and in challenging conditions. The system's ability to track stars through a quartz glass window, even in daylight, was a key factor in its success.
Here's how the ANS worked:
1Primary Alignment: Before takeoff, the ANS's gyroscopes were carefully aligned with the Earth's magnetic field. This initial alignment was crucial for ensuring the accuracy of the system's position calculations.
2Star Tracking: Once airborne, the ANS would track stars through a circular quartz glass window located on the upper fuselage. The star tracker used a photomultiplier tube to detect the light from stars, and its computer system would then identify the stars based on their positions and brightness.
3Position Calculation: Using the positions of the tracked stars, the ANS's computer would calculate the aircraft's position relative to a known reference point. This position information was then updated continuously throughout the flight.
4Navigation Guidance: The ANS could provide the pilot with navigation guidance, including the aircraft's current position, heading, and course. This information was crucial for maintaining accurate flight paths and reaching designated targets.
5Daytime Star Tracking: The ANS's "blue light" source star tracker was a unique feature that allowed the system to track stars even in daylight. This was achieved by using a special filter that selectively passed only blue light, which is scattered less by the atmosphere than other wavelengths.
6Redundancy: The ANS was designed with redundancy in mind, incorporating multiple gyroscopes and star trackers to ensure continuous operation even if one component failed.
The ANS played a critical role in the SR-71's success, enabling it to perform reconnaissance missions over vast distances and in hostile environments. The system's combination of precision, reliability, and all-weather capability made it a revolutionary technology in its time. Michael Rutchland #Habubrats
Just to put this into perspective. IDAF uses laser guided GBUs that have a accuracy % around 3 feet. There is no "accidental" or "mishaps" with GBUs. Pilots have laser that guides the bombs to exactly where that laser is pointing in a 3 foot radius and watch it explode on camera
The space x made old tech more agile and faster. China copies, is cool with 1960s flight performance, and just makes literally a single use, largest sold state missle that throws tech into orbit just to crash in ocean, never to be used again.
This is like when the Soviets created the Mig-31. A copy of an American tech of a copy of soviet tech. (Mig-29 ussr -> F15 usa -> Mig-31 ussr). Usa buys soviet ICBMs tech made it into space X then China copies.
World’s BIGGEST solid-fuel carrier rocket launches from SEA
2nd flight for Gravity 1, made by China's Orienspace
From launch ship to space, putting 3 satellites into orbit
Also similar flight performance. Mig 25 was built solely for speed with shit flight performance. Usa copies, makes it faster and more agile. Ussr copies F15 from usa to make Mig 31 which was still, only built for speed with shit flight performance.
We have 217 of the 218 signatures required.
We just need one more Congressman to sign the discharge petition in order to force a vote in the House on a bill to release the Epstein files.
Victims deserve justice and Americans demand transparency.
I feel like you can't have fully immunity free speech and ID verification on apps like x and especially instagram because people will just see it as a challenge to immediately watchlist load max
Crazy footage of an F/A-18 crashing at El Toro in 1988. The pilot, Col. Jerry Cadick, survived but the impact was 75G resulting in a broken neck, two broken legs, and a vertebra in his lower spine exploding. He eventually recovered and obtained a commercial pilots license.👀
