1977 Rockwell concept to move payload from Orbiter, put it in a shroud ahead of the ET. This would have allowed for much larger-diameter payloads to be carried. The ET would of course go into orbit with the Orbiter. More on this in US Launch Vehicle Projects issue 1.
@pudgenet@thegoldnrule@billybinion And the US is supposed to?
Nah. Out the door. On your own and on your feet, or shackled and wherever the cargo plane happens to be going.

On one hand it amazes me that our enemies are so stupid that they think by speaking in their alien tongues we will not understand them. On the other hand... too many of us in the west just don't care. Too many think conquest is neato-keen.
Ilhan Omar chose Somalian Jihad music as the soundtrack to her latest video.
This song is literally about using Allah's power to conquer your enemy's land and humiliate them.

@skeptic_humble@TheAudraNyx Policed? Yes. Imprisoned? Umm, no. Let me assure you, there are are alternative approaches to dealing with violent criminals.
To be fair, she didn't respond "not to my knowledge" to the question "did you marry your brother." It was to "was he related to you."
Which is still... well, huh. Any American would be able to answer Yes or No to that question.
YIKES: Ilhan Omar was just asked if she married her brother on Live TV
Her answer: โNot to my knowledgeโฆโ
WHAT?!
She canโt even say โNOโ?!
What other person would answer this question like that?
Things are about to get bad for Ilhan.
@pudgenet@thegoldnrule@billybinion You're quite confident in your wrongness. ICE describes the process, and never once says where you have to go other than out of the US.

@pudgenet@thegoldnrule@billybinion "Self-deport" simply means you voluntarily leave the country you're not supposed to be in. "Deportation" has long been associated with sending people to places other than where they originally came from, so self-deport does the same.
@pudgenet@thegoldnrule@billybinion They need not self-deport to their home countries. They could go to Mexico, Canada, Britain, France... anywhere they like.
@billybinion "who then send them straight to where they were fleeing."
Let me correct that:
"who then send them straight to where they belong."
There ya go.
@davidsnydertrue Unlikely. This graphic is already at least a decade old, and nothing remotely resembling either has even been hinted at. These were most likely CG scribbles.
1/A heavily illustrated ca. 2016 USAF brochure on turbine engine technology included, among a vast number of little photos of engines and aircraft, a few illustrations that might be of interest.

2/Several futuristic concepts here, several old ones. Of interest is the โSupersonic Multirole Fighterโ which looks like a cross between Lockheed Hopeless Diamond & Northrop XST: tailless w/an inlet on top, w/features reminiscent of the F-117 but blended rather than faceted.
