@capngloval @archaeohistories I love stories like this where it has a happy ending or something fun is made as a result of it

Tell me government in Oklahoma is a failure without saying government in Oklahoma is a failure.

@LanceJZ @Cadbury_Moose @isaackuo @archaeohistories ok _hwat_ are those astronauts doing
-
@archaeohistories It was filled with concrete, not cement. Cement is like yeast; concrete is like bread.

@isaackuo @Cadbury_Moose @LanceJZ @archaeohistories That is only true for modern ballistic missile RVs, initially they were launched blunt end forward, since the materials of that time didn't allow a more accurate short end forward reentry because these cause higher temperatures. (That is also why the Space Shuttle got a rather blunt nose)
Also, there are far more than just one kind of capsule. Imagine this as a biconic lifting body, and it isn't that much fictive to retain its aft thrusters.

@archaeohistories When you live in Winganon, Oklahoma, you need SOMETHING to do.

@archaeohistories @sundogplanets

@rdfrkian and my mom's - so wierd to see it pop up on fedi, it's so out of the way. last i saw it was plain gray again, i hope they fixed it back up

@archaeohistories how many reply-guys are needed to replace thrusters on a failed space capsule filled with err... cement or concrete?
