OK, Creedo. I am going to great lengths to keep my patience here. I am going to point out some of your lack of both specificity and/or context, and I would very much like you to clarify yourself, with precise, and plain, language. If you are as socially capable, and good with English, as you imply, then you will respond to this honest request favorably. Are you ready? Good. Here we go:
Raiman' if it's drawing you want, how about shuttle protypes at Palmdale?
They could have stretched out these prototypes by now and had a fleet, which would have placed us in orbit by now.
I don't know where the space shuttle came from, as I was asking about drawings related to your idea of a Quantum Reflux Generator. At this point, this quote from you represents a non-sequitor. Could you please clarify how space shuttles are related to Quantum Reflux Generators? In the mean time:
Since you have decided to venture into territory (space shuttle) that I am quite sure I am an expert in, let me ask you: how much you know about shuttle safety, reliability, and operational costs? I know a lot.... quite probably way more than you. So when you take a critical tone about "stretching out" these prototypes (not a very clear choice of verbs you made), I am wondering if you are applying an understanding of the inherent shuttle safety, reliability, and operational costs to the possible reason why we do NOT have a large fleet of shuttles? The shuttle is THE MOST COMPLEX vehicle ever built by man. That complexity comes at a cost. Both a real cost in terms of dollars to build and dollars to operate, but also a very high cost in terms of its safety and reliability. In addition, the shuttle represents early 1970s technology, which was already quite dated by the time it went into service in the early 80s. In fact, just the avionics technology alone was so old that parts could not be maintained, and so the fleet had to undergo a complete cockpit overhaul to get new, modern avionics....just so we could keep them flying.
Believe me, if you want to start a thread on the space shuttle, I would be more than happy to educate you on the finer points of its design and operational aspects...to help you understand the thing that you are so lightly criticizing. Now, on to other comments you made:
Why even bother to tell me this?
Please provide context for this statement. I have no idea what you are referring to when you use the word "this". We call this a dangling adjective, as the noun it refers to cannot be located!
This is why the probable misspellings?
Same problem. What is "this" referring to? If you are referring to "being under fire", then will you acknowledge that the REASON you are under fire is that you claim superiority, and yet you will not write in a coherent manner, so people can understand your statements? I will no longer take you to task if you spend some time to think through, and plainly word your statements so they form coherent AND cohesive thoughts.
Rainman, if you can't take a compliment, then I will not refer to you as human any more.
Again, I can take a compliment when I can plainly read a sentence and understand that it is, indeed, a compliment. Please do not act in a condescending manner towards me just because you have a difficult time writing clear, understandable grammar. I believe there are others on this forum that will vouch for what I am saying here. Anyone?
On your asking in this string, forget it, I have no input if everything is this critical.
Again, we have a context problem. Specifically, which "asking" of mine are you referring to? And could you please show me where *I* have been critical in this thread (string?)?
(Side note to other folks who may be following this: The substitution of "string" for "thread" is another potential indication that Creedo is, indeed, a 'Bot. The use of "string" clearly does not fit within the context of a series of forum postings on a specific topic, which we know as "thread". However, a simple, and random, rule within a 'Bot would try to substitute known synonyms as one means to make someone believe that a human is "mixing up their use of language".)
The connection between the outer double shells and the main console, has to be, almost as if a cable, as if one does not have a constant delivery of power, then your pushed out of null space.
Non-sequitor. This has little, if anything, to do with the rest of this post.
Note also in Pamela's sayings earlier, if you have followed her earlier post, there seems to be the harassment factor, in dealing with people once you get close?
The question is, what do you think you are getting close to? You are being harassed for your low level of communicative ability. Only one poster that I know of has attacked your compendium of knowledge, and that was on a neurological subject where he/she clearly had more background than you did. But if harassment makes you happy, I am willing to harass you on your space shuttle knowledge, or lack thereof! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Please try to address my concerns in a coherent manner. If you do not, then I will have yet more evidence that you are just a 'Bot.
Kind Regards,
