SpaceX Iridium 4 Launch from Alhambra, CA
BSRI lived in Cape Canaveral for 35 years. I watched all but 5 shuttle launches and many Delta, Atlas and other rockets. Each unique in it's own way. This launch was spectacular in that the lighting helped illuminate the plume in a way that normally is unseen in a bright sky or total darkness.
Another cool effect when conditions are right during a launch is when a rocket breaks the sound barrier while penetrating thin clouds. It creates what's known as a Sun Dog. The shock wave creates a ripple effect that resembles ripples going across the surface of water. The effect at night can be illuminated by the rocket's bright plume rather than the sun.
Fleece Blanket Foils Snake Getaway
Payback...if he went the other way, he'd break the sound barrier.
FML - the snake, most likely.
Why Are Aeroplane Wings Angled Backwards?
robbersdog49I think the X-1 is the first that could pass the speed of sound in normal level flight, without needing to dive to gain speed. That's my understanding at least. It ll depends how the record is stated though, it's almost certainly not the first manned craft to pass the sound barrier as you point out.
About the X-1 being the first manned vehicle to break the sound barrier: there are records of Bf 109Fs surpassing 950km/h TAS in a dive when they tried to solve the issue of elevator and aileron lock-ups at very high speeds. I wouldn't call it far-fetched to assume that both G10 and K4 could surpass Mach 1 in a high-altitude dive without the wings shearing off. Alas, no proof. Just an interesting bit of aviation.

Last Week Tonight - Ferguson and Police Militarization
VoodooVFreedom of speech is not freedom of criticism. If you can't take the heat or make shitty comments prepare to reap the whirlwind. I'm not the one that has expressed anger in terms of physical violence. So I hope you remember that as you read back your self righteous speech to yourself as you pat yourself on the back comparing myself and Lantern.
Ridicule is the norm for changing social behavior. We ridicule anyone who thinks women shouldn't be able to vote, we ridicule anyone who still thinks the world is flat, we ridicule anyone who still thinks the sound barrier is unbreakable.
This is how the world works. Get used to it Enoch. Lantern and Bob are racist rednecks who have a long history of expressing shitty backwards behavior. They've been a hair's breadth away from being banned numerous times. Be glad that ridicule is all they get.
Lantern and Bob are big boys they can hack it, or they can leave. They don't need you running in like an overprotective mommy protecting them from a skinned knee.
the situation in st louis did not just pop up out of thin air overnight.the tensions between the poor community (mostly black) and the police has been a festering pressure cooker for almost 15 years.
a particularly venal chapter in the st louis police archives is the RNC of 2008,for anybody to absorb some context on the militarization of a police force.
the tinder has been accumulating just waiting for the match.
mike brown WAS that match.
this is not new nor original.
it has happened before.
and as @lantern53 has pointed out:it is the chain of command that sets the tone of how that police force performs their duties.so if those in charge are authoritarian douche nozzles,that attitude tends to trickle down to the everyday cop on the street.
cops by their very nature are authoritarian due to their vocational choice.they respect the chain of command and the authority it represents.to follow orders is to be a "good" cop.
so i do not understand the ridicule that lantern is receiving.he is offering his perspective AS an actual police officer.i am not suggesting that he is right NOR that his opinion somehow exonerates the st louis cop JUST because he is a cop but rather we should listen to someone who actual IS a cop.
there is absolutely ZERO evidence that lantern is a bad cop.we simply do not know how well,or poorly,lantern is at his job.
there IS evidence,however,that lantern tends be a tad racist,authoritarian and contradictory.lantern may be a poor debater but that does not make him a bad cop.
though his defense of zimmerman does reveal an extremely poor judge of character.(seriously lantern?that dude is a full fledged cunt).
but i get it @VoodooV,
lantern is easy pickings.
a right wing authoritarian conservative commenting on a mostly secular left site?
its like shooting fish in a barrel.
sometimes lantern brings it on himself...i know.
his poor debating skills coupled with an almost embarrassing understanding of history and government makes him catnip to someone like you.
its
just
so
easy
i disagree with lantern,pretty much always and i agree that sometimes his biased rhetoric should be taken to task,if only to clear up the bullshit.
but you take it to whole new levels voodoo.
you follow him from thread to thread and chastise and belittle him and THEN act all hurt and shocked when he lashes out at you!
seriously?thats like poking a grizzly bear in the face and then crying when it rips half your face off.
you use the exact same tactics choggie used,but at least he was entertaining.
you are just a bully.
a hypocritical,sanctimonious bully.hiding behind the skirts of others who may find lanterns comments distasteful (which they certainly can be).this is a cowards path and just like all bullies,you rely on the silence of others to continue your persecution of someone who does not have the support of an entire site.
i find your lack of humanity disturbing.
and i will not be silent.
your actions do not deserve respect but rather ridicule.

StuThe article I read had completely wrong information. They said he was just under 760 and that he didn't break it. Stupid wrong news people...rabble rabble rabble!!>> ^mrsid:
He officially reached mach 1.24 (833.9 mph)...
>> ^Stu:
It would have been better if he had actually broken the sound barrier...but he didn't. If it was hand grenades or horse shoes the almost would have counted.

FA-18 "Super Hornet" Breaks Sound Barrier
A10anisTraveling from Southampton to New York, on the QE2, and the Captain said; "Don't be alarmed at the loud bang, it is Concorde breaking the sound barrier." It was bloody loud, yet tens of thousands of feet up. I'm pretty sure that, had this jet done the same, those people would be deafened. BTW, the Captain also said; "you may be interested to know that we are passing over the spot where Titanic sank." He was a real bundle of laughs that guy..

PaybackNope. We're correct.

>> ^IronDwarf:
It's not the sound barrier breaking: the sound is just the sound of the jet going by extremely fast and the shockwave comes from the vapor pressure of jet flying that low over water. Military jets are only allowed to break the sound barrier over specific areas, and definitely not over areas where there are large groups of people.
Still a cool video.
QFT. You wouldn't hear the plane before it passed if it was anywhere NEAR Mach 1.
Actually, I am pretty sure you guys are wrong. That shock collar like that will only happen at transonic speeds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl%E2%80%93Glauert_singularity
The sound of the jet you hear as it approaches I suspect is the sound of another jet off camera, or something. FYI, for air shows, they do quite frequently accelerate past the sound barrier.
