> When I signed up the sample they took was spit in a vial. Yes, and? I don't see the significance of the testing medium here. DNA sequencing from hair or blood or saliva will yield identical results.

I wonder if there are instances where people signed the NDA and took the money, that we have not heard about.

You measure how much stress is applied to critical components, which uses up some of their finite lives. From experiment and theory, we know how much "damage" is done to a part subjected to a given stress. Similarly we know how mu

X-ray takes care of macro internal defects. It doesn't reveal defects at the grain (nanometer) scale, outside of research labs. I think it'd be time prohibitive to scan at that resolution for every component of large systems.

Yeah, we used X-ray inspections to get away with smaller safety margins at my last employer. Plastic deformations start at the grain level (nanometers) though, and I don't think there's any X-ray microscopy to do this en masse.

Semantics - it is anticipated and quantified, but with error bounds ;)

Yes, mitigated compared to a full-speed descent. It's not really possible to compare it to an entirely different system though like a fighter jet. Fatigue is analyzed at a part level, like a single strut or a patch of aluminum reinforc

Not to be pedantic, but it's not possible to inspect an entire rocket for all defects because so many of them are microscopic and internal (not on the surface of a solid part). These can be analyzed and predicted with fatigue models in

Seriously unless you're budget constrained, so much better. Cost twice as much as 2-week lenses, but you get to crack open a sterile pair each morning. Toss em at night.

Then again at universities, isn't it generally the older profs and not the fresh postdocs doing the most novel work?

Looking at their about page, these guys have a lot of aerospace experience: Lockheed, Boeing, Gulfstream, Scaled Composites (!), SpaceX, NASA, P&W, and more. I'm optimistic about this project. Hopefully they'll turn out more l

This is unfair. It is also unfair that blacks receive harsher punishments, starting in preschool , and that this prejudice follows them their entire lives. Can you imagine that? Being told by society that you are bad and predisposed to bei

Well, I don't think there's much consideration of nuclear power in the first place by most countries. A nuclear-powered B-36D (large bomber) was explored in the '60s though. Complications included the weight of the lead shiel

"Longer path" has no bearing on reality. A flat plate can generate plenty of lift even with both sides the same. It's also hard to define "path," as the air starts convecting well ahead of the wing in subsonic flow.
