Last summer, I attended my best friend’s wedding and had the pleasure of meeting one of my favorite creative’s daughter and her partner.

Today, this arrived in the mail. Many thanks to my friend David plus the man of the hour, @EricIdle. Can’t wait to read!

Imagine living in the late 60s and seeing a new band called Pink Floyd…

On #TDIH in 1968, Apollo 8 launched on the first crewed mission to the Moon. Astronauts Frank Borman, Bill Anders, and Jim Lovell were the first astronauts to launch using the powerful Saturn V rocket.

Just a little video to make the ghosts of millions of farmers feel a bit better about how they used to do things.

Neví se tedy, kdo koho napadl v roce 1956 v Budapešti, že?
It's not clear who attacked whom in Budapest 1956, is it?

0 to 165 in two seconds: F-18 carrier launch (note how the pilot keeps his hand OFF the yoke until he's airborne to prevent G-force of the cat shot from causing them to pull back on the stick)

Andrej Babiš může natočit, kolik videí chce, ale tohle je dojem, který zůstane po jeho první a zrovna tak důležité cestě. Rádi naříkáme, jak nás zradili v Mnichově, a pak se sami zachováme jako zrádci.

Tak dlouho flastenci křičeli, že pomoc Ukrajině je k ničemu, až jim jejich vlastní ministr Zůna (SPD) přivezl vzkaz: Bez české iniciativy přijdou obránci o 50 % munice. Realita vs. populistické kecy 1:0.

Ukrajinská strana Zůnovi jasně řekla, že pokud by česká muniční iniciativa skončila, přišli by okamžitě o polovinu všech dodávek dělostřelecké munice.

Iniciativa není jen nějaký doplněk, ale tvoří páteř ukrajinské obrany v době, kdy evropské zbrojovky teprve navyšují výrobu. Bez ní by se fronta mohla zhroutit.

A tak ministr Zůna nakonec s muniční iniciativou souhlasí, ale konečný verdikt ba pokračování je na Babišovi.

Není tohle Zůnův alibismus, protože tím si Zůna myje ruce jako Pilát. Ví, že odborně a strategicky nemá na vybranou, ale politicky se bojí hněvu vlastních voličů, kterým SPD slibovala pravý opak.

Tím, že to hodí na Babiše, se staví do role pouhého „vykonavatele“, který za nic nemůže. Je to zbabělé – ministr obrany by měl mít odvahu bouchnout do stolu a obhájit si to, co je pro bezpečnost země nezbytné, ne se schovávat za premiérovu sukni.

"Bitchin' Betty" is the voice fighter pilots hear in their cockpit.

Leslie Shook is the real person whose voice has been used for over 20 years as the cockpit warning system in the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet fighter jets.

The nickname originated in the 1970s–1980s with early digitized voice systems (the very first digitized one was actress Kim Crow's voice in jets like the F-15 and F-16). Different aircraft have used different recordings

A longtime Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas) employee, Shook accidentally became the voice for additional alerts needed in the F/A-18 when original recordings from the F-15 couldn't be fully reused. Her clear, commanding voice has delivered critical warnings like "Pull up!" or "Altitude!" to pilots, helping save lives during emergencies. She retired in 2016, but her recordings continue to be used in the aircraft.

Včerejším odmítnutím solidarizovat se spolu s drtivou většinou zemí EU s Ukrajinou český premiér zrušil respektovaný postoj ČR posledních 4 let. Je to laciné gesto a přijde nás draho.

Budou to čtyři roky malosti, sobectví a hanby, ale co čekat od zbabělého udavače tajné policie, který ze strachu z odsouzení vládne s galérkou a pátou kolonou Ruska.

At Château de Salignac the renovation continues, replacing boring modern plaster with proper lime and of course... paint!
I love seeing colour & patterns being brought back into castles, a much more accurate depiction of what they once looked like.

On December 14, 1972, the Apollo 17 lunar module "Challenger" departed the Moon with Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan, the last astronauts to walk on the Moon. LM liftoff was captured by a camera on the LRV that was left behind. More on how it was done: https://t.co/bjvXDMayPj

Apollo 17 carried the only trained geologist to walk on the lunar surface, lunar module pilot Harrison Schmitt. In this video from the mission, Schmitt excitedly throws the geology hammer at the end of the third EVA.
