A moon rover is a bit substantial for what constitutes "tech" these days. OTOH, you've probably read multiple stories on Flappy Bird.

I think they could break into science per my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7197879 . It'd be like the inverse of Nalgene.

We mount them in various locations on our aircraft during tests. GoPros have nice experimental science applications when you need a rugged camera with an integrated stable mount.

The pretentiousness of HN amazes me. It's incorrect syntax, mind you; Python isn't English.

Prefixes are mostly political in purpose and don't strictly describe the aircraft mission. The F-22 was the F/A-22 for a while, the F-117 was a bomber, the X-35 was a prototype for the F-35 and thus should have been the YF-35, and

This is fund-my-hobby, albeit a cool hobby. FYI most universities with large aerospace departments have some type of rocketry club developing similar scale motors: http://spase.stanford.edu/Hybrid_Rocket_Student_Meeting.html

I don't know. When I was in university we had similar projects going on (scratch-fabricated hybrid rocket motors, not aerospikes though) and I know there were non-citizen students participating. Didn't seem to be a problem.

I am just wondering if modeling human intelligence is becoming a "coastline of Britain" problem, with more complexity revealed as we progress such that the goal being in sight may be illusory. https://en.wikipedia.org&#

> Is there a particular reason why people feel that I should be donating immediately, given I have pretty specific donation plans in the future? Yeah. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

Yes. I don't have friends or family, so I donate the amount I probably would have spent on gifts every Xmas. I donated US$250 to GiveDirectly (direct cash grants to Africa) this season.

Probably, but it'd only be comfortable for Tibetans. NASA space suits are pressurized to an altitude of 6,000 ft, which is about the same as a commercial airliner cabin. You could loosen that requirement for hardier astronauts, but it&

The sad thing is that OP's single datapoint as a David vs Goliath story will get far more attention than your experience. Even on HN, drama carries the day.
