Here's something I just found out (click for bigger):

For those wondering, it's a diorama in a guy's living room. NO PHOTOSHOP ANYWHERE, all you see is physically in place.

Well, it's officially monsoon season in Arizona.

That would be my car (silver one) parked down the street.

This is about 1 to 1 1/2 feet deep.

This is the dug-in drainage area behind our house. This water is at least 5 feet deep.

For being an automotive photography site, Speedhunters got this one perfect. Larry Chen to be specific.

Looks like it; the high walking path right after the Raidillon.

Don't know if this has been posted already, so here you go:

Gentlemen, the surface of freakin' Mars.

Also, planes. F-18 getting shot off a carrier.

Also also, contrails from a Boeing 767

Any more Mars shots?

Any more Mars shots?

There should be whole new batches after Sunday.

If only my crappy digital camera could take long exposure shots (time to get a DSLR)

F-18 getting shot off a carrier.

What's up with the rudders on that plane?

 

[FoolKiller]

What's up with the rudders on that plane?

By having both pointing inward it maintains a neutral yaw while allowing the air hitting it to push the vertical stabilizers back and down, effectively pitching the back of the plane down, and the nose up. If you ever see a slow motion video of an aircraft carrier takeoff you'll notice the planes appear to pitch up far more sharply than their flaps indicate they should. That is one of the reasons why.

Are you going to be watching the landing live too?

 

[FoolKiller]

Are you going to be watching the landing live too?

More than likely just DVR it. I'm not a morning person.

 

[Brett]

I am not a morning person either, but the plan is to stay up and watch it live.

To avoid hijacking the thread I'll respond in the Curiosity thread.

I've always thought the Mig-25 and Mig-31 to be amazing aircraft, built for pure speed/intercepting and nothing else.
