The thing I would definitely NOT do is go around to a bunch of different doctors for trial exams.

I like my female dentits (miss-spelling intentional).

You would think NASA would know how rockets work by now.

NASA has it figured out....that failure is SpacEx's baby....
Media says it had sensitive equipment on board so, there'll be a pretty good clusterfuch going locally to make sure nothing operable/salvageable came down..

Okay, did some googling. NASA didn't actually design or build the Antares rockets, they farmed it out. That's worse in my books.

What is wrong with coming off like an arrogant douche. All good salesmen are arrogant douches.

For a relator you want to come off as THE arrogant douche that can find the house they want for the least monies or sell their house for what they need to get out of it.

I hate those house hunter show relators that no matter what buyers say their budget is the relator always only find nice houses that are juuust over their budget.

No Richard. A good salesman is able to do his job without being an arrogant douche. I got a lot farther than my competition in my old job by showing the customers that I was an honest guy who did what I said I would do better than anyone else. No show boating, no sleaziness, just solid work.

Richard is right. The rocket was neither NASA or SpaceX, it was an Orbital Sciences rocket. It wass launched from a NASA facility here in the mid-Atlantic (Wallops Island).

Sid's right, it's best to not come across as an arrogant douche.

I'm right...sleep beats getting up for w***. Now if I'd only listen to myself.

Orbital Science was contracted by NASA to design an build the Antares rockets. Guess they missed the clause in the contract about occasionally blowing up on launch.

I still think Elon Musk shot it down. Keep the competition behind schedule with failures. I figure the NSA gave him the phaser weapon from the aliens and hired some CIA rouge agent to blast it from the sky.

Good Hump day morning folks.

Hey Jeff, we watched the movie "Wolf Creek" the other night. Did they ever catch the real killer? The movie did not make it real clear.

Sure it would. Start with a Cub or Champ (or anything else with conventional gear) and it wouldn't be a bad transition. They you could tow your banner with it!
