^ that's pretty funny. I suppose there's some truth to it.

In zero gravity, a candle's flame doesn’t dance the way it does on Earth — it turns into a small, perfect sphere... and glows blue
Why? On Earth, flames stretch upward because of convection — hot air rises and pulls cooler oxygen in at the base, giving the flame its classic teardrop shape. But in microgravity, there’s no “up” — so no rising hot air.
Instead, oxygen diffuses slowly and evenly around the flame, and that creates a low-temperature burn. The flame becomes cooler, rounder, and blue, because there’s less soot and more efficient combustion.
So even fire behaves completely differently in space — calm, quiet, and spherical.
Science makes everything feel like magic.

The only time the enemy came this close to downing an Blackbird was Oxcart A-12 was on October 30, 1967. The missions were called Black Shield
During his first pass over North Vietnam, pilot Dennis Sullivan Detected Radar tracking. Two Sam’s sites prepared to launch, But neither did. During Sullivan’s second Pass, North Vietnam fired at least six missiles. Each is confirmed by vapor trails on Mission photography. The pilot saw the vapor trails in the photograph.
The pilot witnessed three missile detonations near and behind the A-12, which was traveling at Mach 3.1 at about 84,000 feet.
Post-fly inspection of the aircraft revealed that a piece of metal penetrated the underside of the right way, passing through three layers of titanium and lodged against a support structure of the wing tank.
The Fragment was not a Warhead palette, Probably debris from one of the missile Detonations that the pilot observed.
This is the first and last time a missile got that close.

My buddy and I took our 911 to Roebling Road today, to watch a PCA DE. Saw this 911. I thought it looked great, with the duck tail.

(3 March 1969) --- The Lunar Module (LM) "Spider", still attached to the Saturn V third (S-IVB) stage, is photographed from the Command and Service Modules (CSM) "Gumdrop" on the first day of the Apollo 9 Earth-orbital mission. This picture was taken following CSM/LM-S-IVB separation and prior to LM extraction from the S-IVB. The Spacecraft Lunar Module Adapter (SLA) panels have already been jettisoned. Inside the Command Module were astronauts James A. McDivitt, commander; David R. Scott, command module pilot; and Russell L. Schweickart, lunar module pilot.

Funny but not really the only options.
Windows has a restore feature which can save a ton of effort and has saved me many times over the last few decades provided that you do what most logical people do: have a backup of your data so that you don't have a catastrophic loss of info and worst case scenario you reload the data onto a reformatted system or a new machine.
