This may be very bad advice, depending on your state.

Reply to comment by Nibb31 in Now that commercial space flight is in the works, if you had the money, would you go? by Ariolet
The more I hear about those flights the more fun it sounds like.
I don't have a need for a sub-orbital joy ride either.

Reply to comment by Team_Ed in Is there an evolutionary reason behind deciduous trees’ vibrant fall colours? by Team_Ed
I’m also wondering why the leaves which are shaded seem to go red last. One of my maples is turning red on the exposed (southeast to southwest) side first, with the leaves further to the north, shaded by the canopy, still green.

A lot of rocket engines have maximum pressures in the combustion chamber of 200-300 bar, so 3,000 to 4,500 PSI.

That's been going on for a very long time.

Reply to comment by J_G_E in Where did the English language REALLY come from? by MagicRaptor
It's why my predominantly English heritage shows up primarily as ... French and German, with some Scandinavian, DNA.
I think most people view "Anglo-Saxon Invasion" as some kind of reverse D-Day, with ships filled with people scaling the White Cliffs of Dover.
Nope.
