That's a GREAT link, thanks so much. I watched the whole series and learnt a lot more of the USN's airship programme than I knew before.   I SO wish I'd been born early enough to see one of the big airships, the British R100 being my fave of the period, mainly because Barnes Wallis was involved in its design. I've seen a couple of the Goodyear blimps over here, and I once saw the tiny, all British airship 'Bournemouth', cruising right over my parent's house at RAF Abingdon when I was about 10 or 11. 

Check your work! To be continued...  

Only one, and I have a real bad Take regarding "Mr. Elon", SpaceX and his penchant for running away when the Temperature starts to rise in la cocina. He is in a very unique position...

The joys of "new and improved." Glad it sorted itself out.

Well, I'm now on Waterfox 6.0.13 and it seems to be fine. Chrome is now working, too. Guess it has cleared up.   Thanks Charlie.

I'm using an older Chrome version,,,103, I think,  and working fine.  Same bookmark  https://www.flightsim.com/forums/   Just doing a Google search about Waterfox problems (older versions) and a lot had to do with clicking on website links.   Good Luck, Larry! 🙂

What has changed here in the last day or so? Starting yesterday Waterfox (a Firefox derivative)  version 6.0.13 won't load the forums. I'm using version 2022.11, which obviously works OK, to make this post. Chrome Version 109.0.5414.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) gives an "HTTP error 500" "This Page Isn't Working." Firefox 109.0.1 (64-bit) works OK.   Both Waterfox 6.0.13 and Chrome 109.0.5414.120 are trying to go to "https://www.flightsim.com/admin/install/" (Huh??) even when I copy and paste the URL from Waterfox 2022.11, which is the version I'm typing on.   This is all on Windows 7 Pro. And the bookmarks on the failing browser versions have this URL: https://www.flightsim.com/forums/ which works fine for this browser I'm using.   Something has changed folks.

In those days, the A/V gig was the one everyone wanted. You'd get good learning the workings of those Slide and 16mm Projectors, and making Transparencies for the Overhead viewer!     I think we're all aware of just how much spewing lava, stinky horse apples and absolute gunk is being put on YouTube these days. However, there are some great Documentaries to be had there, especially those posted by NASA, their Global partners or the Smithsonian NASM. Whether it's listening to an old video of Bob Hoover and Chuck Yeager telling tall tales, the Crew of Apollo 8 recalling their Mission forty years after the fact, or my man Oleg extolling the virtues of a hearty Breakfast before an EVA on the ISS ( vid in previous Post), there's some interesting, informative and educational stuff out there. Even those old Films they used to show (some) of us in School from the 50's - 70's!

Now available in the Marketplace. I desktop PC fly the sim. VERY realistic controls and flight characteristics and an abundance of features and functional switches and gizmos. It IS kinda spendy at $42 but I'm glad I didn't wait for MSFS 2024 to buy this neat 2 seater. Looks like JustFlight did their homework. Kudos to them.

There are two sides to this, yes one is that there are people that wealthy, but without their interest the space program would be DOA  in the US. I also believe that it took several other counties launching their own space initiatives to "almost" get the US program off of the coroners table.
