You can't handle the truth

When can real men have real conversations ?

There's a time and place, and The Rocketry Forum isn't it. Not everyone can maintain their cool (myself included, sometimes) when talking about sensitive topics, and political arguments, whatever the initial intentions might be, tend to lead to bad blood and insults thrown. We don't need that here.

If you want to have a "real conversation" about a difficult topic, find an appropriately-themed forum for it. Our Rocketry Forum (not Politics Forum) moderators, very understandably, do not want to deal with moderating a heated political discussion.

If you don't like the way the rocketry forum is run, then why are you here? I for one, appreciate the boundaries set by the admins to try to keep things civil. This is one of the few save zones to visit and learn about rockets or just enjoy reading the posts. Keep it up Admins. You're doing a excellent job.

I dunno, lemme ask the wife...

well played !

Let's test...

I find "Watering Hole" offensive.

I'm still wondering what 'When can real men have conversations?' -really- means.

There's nothing 'thought provoking' about it. It's more telling that you think the conversations you can't have here are reflective of your status as a 'real man'.

Oh, so you need a male hug?

Here you go, "real" man hiding behind anonymity, not really wanting to be real:

Pillow talk?

Most of us are over the hill. So, what is the best, or most cost effective, male supplement or drug to help us chase down and recover rockets?
And She'll love it too.

Sorry, I watch too much TV.

Yeah, that’s a hole other thing.

OK, then.... Let's have a manly-man conversation. With a manly-man test: In 10 hours, Relativity Space is going for it's (3rd?, 4th... I've lost count) attempt at launching Terran 1, a mostly 3-D printed rocket (Although from what I see, their 3D printer appears to be a MIG welder on a robotic arm, so this might be the world's first rocket built from welding wire). Will it get off the ground this time??? Or will they scrub again, after resetting the clock 4 times? Rocket Minds Want to Know!

Now, if they manage to get off the ground at all, it'll be a number of firsts.
Of course, if they successfully reach orbit, it'll be a number of firsts including beating SpaceX to orbit with a Methane-LOx rocket. In fact, they don't even need to reach orbit. If they get 100,000 feet up and the rocket explodes, it's still higher than any Methane-LOx rocket I'm aware of.

Ok, manly-men.... Discuss! I'm all feh-klepht!

What the heck is going on here? Are you talking rockets in a gripe thread? The unmitigated GALL!

For most, the Ukraine war is not a difficult topic.
