A typical Molniya orbit has an equatorial inclination of 63.4 degrees, with an apoapsis approaching that of a geostationary orbit (over 36,000 kilometers!), and a much lower periapsis between 600-1000 km. How eccentric!

At the height of the Cold War, the United States had special Boeing EC-135 "Looking Glass" aircraft equipped as control centers for the nuclear arsenal. The battle staff included a general or flag officer who was authorized to order a retaliatory strike in the event that the President could not be contacted.

The typical pop/beer aluminum can is designed to withstand 100psi of internal pressure. Over the years, the weight of each can as dropped to 1/3 the original aluminum cans. I learned this while watching an episode of "How it's Made" with my daughter that featured beverage cans.

There is no evidence to prove the current British government cares about the people, in fact there is a lot of evidence to show it has and will continual to make our lives a living hell.

UP THE REVOLUTION.

Admiral of the Fleet, Sir John Fisher's middle name was Arbuthnot.

What sort of parents stick a handle on their kid like Arbuthnot?
