Thank you! I still have my circular slide rule from my flying days. Now they have been supplanted but I love that thing. I think CN still has his dad's slide rule. Now if only that SR could talk!

Yes thank you! Our library is pretty good at space history books. I read about the Mars rovers and a good history called "Countdown" and another called ... can't find the title.

I have my dad's slide rule. It's numbered in the original German.

Look, if you want to think the world is flat, fine. If you think we didn't go to the moon, I'm cool with it, I might even agree. If you want to worship God, good for you my brother. Now if you hold such hate in your heart and you really have that level of disrespect because of skin color or geographical location, you're making your own look bad. There is only one race and that's the human race. Imagine if you went to the er and all the Indians, Arabs and Africans wouldn't help you because you're a white guy. Round or flat, we can't let it be that.

Let's get this straight, so if a black calls another black a house N, it's ok, but somehow I cant use that term? It's not referring to race it's referring to his docility. Just bending over to the man and taking it. Not that I give a fuck what people think about me.
