| #8 IIRC, Robert Goddard chose Roswell, NM for the fact that he could easily get LOX from TX via the ATSF railroad since it was a by product of the time (ca1930's) of the natural gas industry. There is a liquid gas plant next to Patrick AFB. There is also a new one in Lakeland near the power plant. |

| #7 Or is this a 'as it heats materials expand to close those gaps' a la SR-71? |

| #6 Once had a ride on a USMC C130 out of Corpus Christi. There was a steady trickle of red hydraulic fluid running down along the inside airframe (they were using Dextron; long story). Crew chief said if the leak stopped, to let him know. |

| #5 The rear trans on a Chinook used do leak badly as well. |

| #4 Pure waste? Rather a design decision like the F-111s that deliberately leaked hydraulic fluid so that the actuators wouldn't have clogs in flight. The early F-111s actually had drip pans the ground crew placed under their wings on the ground and, as an USAF vet told me "You could tell that F-111s were on the base when you got near the runways from the smell of the hydraulics". |

| #3 Correction to my comment for better accuracy. The figures are Feb. 2020 to date, NOT year to date. See ICE-COVID Numbers for deeper details. |

| #2 When you see those pretty vapor clouds rolling off those rockets on the pad before launch, you are seeing pure waste. It took a lot of energy to concentrate and liquefy that O2... |

| #1 Florida C-19 Stats Note: Last updated figures are for YESTERDAY and what the NEWS would be based on. #1 in the USA for New C-19 Cases = +21,208 #29 for New C-19 Deaths = 6 #2 for Active C-19 cases = 779,088 OTHER STATES & STATS #1 for New C-19 Deaths = Texas @ 215 Note: This figure includes illegal immigrant deaths. ICE DATA Remember to make a mental note as you read this in that currently CBP has a less than 48% capture rate for illegal border crossings. ICE politically screened and provided data as of 08/20/2021. 25,512 of the 306,313 detainees tested, 8.32% were found infected. We also know reading around the way the ICE data is provided. ICE as of 08/22/2021 claims only to be holding 1,248 COVID-19 Infected persons in custody. So the question is: If ICE is only claiming to hold 1,248 infected Illegal immigrants now. Then what did it do with the 280,801 it acknowledges it found infected so far this year? |
