Aeronautica - The Science of Flight

Examining the science and engineering through the lens of aviation, space, and flight training.

Astronaut @JonnyKimUSA is getting ready for his first mission to the @Space_Station!

Kim is scheduled to lift off in a Soyuz spacecraft in March 2025 for an eight-month stay in low Earth orbit. Get the details: https://t.co/kjVxbc24LU

@AlgarnonChief @DerikAlles @smartereveryday Dallas turned out just fine.

@smartereveryday Why not?

As I look at the current slate of candidates, of both parties, all I can think is that we have over 330 million citizens in this country, >185 million over the age of 35, and this is the best we can do?

@mtrantalainen @Jonathanladavis @smartereveryday It’s a false choice. When you realize that God has created everything in the universe, including working through the hands of doctors and scientists to create modern medicine, you truly can do both. God works through people all the time achieve great things.

@smartereveryday @YvesRemmler Drag averaged over time would increase. I would imagine to maintain a constant airspeed thrust would need to varying also increasing fuel consumption. Lots of variables.

@AOPA The cost of entry into aviation, especially for pilots, is very high & only getting higher with fuel costs. The cost of obtaining all the required ratings along with 1500 hours for ATP is the equivalent a college degree. There’s got to be a better way.

@TheSpaceGal He was a patriot, a pioneer, and the last of a special breed of aviators. He pushed the limits of flight and help pave the way for the rest of us. He will be missed.
