Yeager was much better than Armstrong at media relations and self promotion. Armstrong was by far the superior pilot.
ETA: Armstrong was also the superior engineer and by far a superior human being.

Just to close the loop on this one.
“Hard landing” being Japanese for “rapid unscheduled disassembly”.

Don’t you flyboys refer to this as a “controlled flight into terrain”?
Nope. It’s “any one you walk away from.” I don’t think that applies in this case.
No CGI, no second chances.

That was the best show, I need to see if it’s on streaming somewhere.

Absolutely. He wove things together perfectly. Well, I suppose history had already woven them together, but his exposition was fantastic.

To answer my question, TV Guide says it’s not available for streaming but they are on YouTube.

I, for one, welcome our aquatic overlords.
Reminds me of 2 things

the awesomely bad Richard Harris movie “Orca” that was watched many times in my youth

There is evidence that the shingles vaccine staves off a number of types of dementia, including Alzheimer’s.
Still not clinically proven etc. etc., but the shingles vaccine is a good idea anyway, so go get it if you haven’t got it.

If it staves off shingles it’s worth its weight in gold. You do not want shingles. Full stop.

I’ve been putting it off, but I will put it off not much longer. I’ve been around 2 people who’ve had shingles and they basically wanted to preferably die.
Thanks for the reminder.

Twice in my life I’ve been in so much pain that I would have preferred someone clobbered me in the head with a cast iron skillet. One was taking a foul tip to the nuts that shattered my cup and made me cough blood. The other was two weeks of having shingles.

I’ve broken just about every bone you can try to break, ligaments and whatnots too, I’ve got a pretty, pretty high pain tolerance, but from what I’ve heard I want no part of that.
Tuesday shot is in my future.
And I had been warned by friends that the vaccine would result in two days of feeling lousy, but I had no reaction that I noticed. So there’s at least a non-zero chance that you’ll get away free, too.
I have scheduled my COVID booster and first shingles shot today. Hopefully it doesn’t ruin the weekend. I have a brisket planned.
