いつか乗りたい。のままなら持っていなかったし、恐らく運転できなくなる歳になってから後悔したと思う。人並みに予算や家庭、整備などの問題もあったが、そんな物は買ってしまえばどうにでもなる。ネットで検索できる今は困ることの方が少ない。心から欲しい物を手に入れるために必要なのは決断だけ!
LSX454⁉️純正で1500馬力対応の僕史上最強エンジンだ。悪夢の民主党政権の頃、ウルトラ円高で新品が100万しないで買えたのが懐かしい。
バッテリーが干上がったi8が二束三文で投げ売りされていたら、純正のシステム全部捨ててアクスルごと好きなエンジン移植してMoTeCでフル制御!簡単にやりたい放題できるから妄想ワクワクだけど、2014年の排ガス規制をクリアできるエンジンとなるとグッと選択肢が減るから夢が醒めてしまう。
冥王星基地で惑星間弾道ミサイル発射!→ミサイル到着が3日。計算するとマッハ7万くらい。高速の10%弱の速度だから、爆発しなくても地球を粉々にする速さだ。大気の断熱圧縮と爆発で速度が減衰したから大丈夫だったんだろう、たぶん。
AIによるとISSの放熱板は合計でテニスコート2.5面分で70kwしか放熱しないらしい(全開の乗用車のラジエター程度)。
で、宇宙にデータセンターを作る際、放熱カロリーから逆算すると中規模データセンターで357面分、大規模なら3570面分必要らしい。それだけの質量を打ち上げるのは大変過ぎるな。

Politicians in Washington tried for decades to retire the A-10 Warthog attack jet, calling it too slow and outdated.
Then U.S. Air Force Captain Kim Campbell flew hers home from Baghdad with zero hydraulics, one damaged engine, and over one hundred and fifty shrapnel holes in the tail.
On April 7, 2003, American ground troops were pinned down under heavy fire in the middle of Baghdad. Twenty-seven-year-old Captain Campbell dove through thick clouds to deliver close air support with her thirty-millimeter cannon.
As she pulled up after saving the troops on the ground, an Iraqi surface-to-air missile exploded directly against the rear of her aircraft.
The blast severed both of her redundant hydraulic lines at the same time, punched a football-sized hole through the right tail stabilizer, and damaged her right jet engine. Instantly, the flight stick went dead. The nose of the aircraft rolled violently toward the streets of Baghdad below.
Why did she not pull the ejection handle?
Because ejecting over central Baghdad meant parachuting straight into the hands of hostile militia, and forcing dozens of American soldiers to risk their lives in an urban ambush just to rescue her.
Sitting inside the A-10's twelve-hundred-pound titanium armor tub, Campbell flipped a single emergency switch on her console called Manual Reversion.
That switch locked the flight stick directly to physical steel cables, pulleys, and cranks running through the wings. Flying an A-10 on steel cables is like steering a heavy dump truck with no power steering at three hundred miles per hour.
For one full hour across three hundred miles of hostile sky, Campbell hauled the heavy stick with both hands using sheer muscle power.
The hardest part was landing. Without hydraulics, she had no wing flaps to slow down, no speed brakes, and no nose-wheel steering. If she touched down and the tires blew, the jet would cartwheel in flames.
She brought the crippled Warthog down onto the runway at nearly two hundred miles per hour, fighting the rudder pedals with her legs until the battered aircraft rolled to a stop.
When her crew chief climbed the ladder and saw hundreds of holes in the aluminum skin, he could only shake his head in disbelief.
Never mock old American steel, and never bet against the pilot sitting inside it.
David Hasselhoff sweated in the desert for 90 episodes of Knight Rider. The man who voiced KITT finished each episode in 50 minutes and never once stood next to him.
In the video below, the voice of KITT explains how it really worked.
KITT was voiced by William Daniels, a Broadway and TV actor who later played Mr. Feeny on Boy Meets World. He read a few pages for a pitch and realized he was playing a car.
On set, Hasselhoff acted next to a woman reading KITT’s lines. Daniels came into a studio at Universal, recorded the episode, and went home.
When they finally met at a Christmas party, Hasselhoff asked how long it took him. Daniels told him about 50 minutes.
KITT became the most famous car on TV. Hasselhoff’s own KITT later sold at auction for $152,600. Daniels’ name never appeared in the opening or closing credits.
In 2020, Hasselhoff finally visited him at home. Daniels was 93. Hasselhoff said it was like talking to the car, except he was a person.
William Daniels is 99 now.
Did you grow up thinking KITT was real, or did you always know there was a guy in a studio behind it?
