I’ve been sick the past few days. I think I got my boy’s bronchitis (that is not supposed to be contagious) and am hacking up a storm. Been watching lots of ‘tube, but nothing that prompted me to blog until I read the comics today and found this gem:
More amusing to me because ‘lather, rinse and repeat’ is used as an example of a bad algorithm in computer science (no way to know when to exit the loop). Anyway, figured I might show a bit of life for my reader(s).
BTW, I saw something on SpaceX on the ‘tube and was interested to note that their heavy lift vehicle, Falcon Heavy, could lift more than the shuttle (up to 58 tons) and that the launch cost was somewhat less astronomical $6,500/lb to a geosynchronous transfer orbit (I would assume the price is less for LEO). Still quite crazy, no doubt, but if I had that sort of money I might be tempted to toss up a space station or twain for my own experiments.
