Calling the Open Rocket Chuck Norris

Or anyone who can figure this out...

Why isn't Open Rocket showing "Velocity at deployment"?

No parachute. You need something to deploy.

qquake2k · Feb 25, 2018

Well, duh. That was stupid of me.

Keisling · Feb 25, 2018

Na, stupid is forgetting to put the parachute in at launch

qquake2k · Feb 25, 2018

True that!

I guess my work here is done...

Sorry I wasn't able to help (I was sleeping when your request came in). Glad someone was able to get you straightened out.

Pointy Side Up!!!

In the computer world, we call this a PEBKAC Error.

Problem

Ha! I like that!

It can be interesting to see what it does without a 'chute. Some long designs will tailstand and make big zigs or even loops like a glider. This is even somewhat possible in real life. I've seen it predict the rocket will land 2-3 times further away than its altitude, in no wind.

I've also seen it called a PICNIC problem: Problem In Chair, Not In Computer

When I was working for Apple's telephone support subcontractors (SEI and ACS/Xerox) we just called it a "connectivity problem between the chair and computer". PICNIC is a much better expression though.

I've heard (and used) the phrase "operator keyboard misalignment"....

There's also the infamous ID 10 T error.

All I've ever used is "Loose nut behind the keyboard".
