  1. It probably makes more sense before translation to English. I never got far with the game, but the premise is an Earthforce destroyer (I think) gets lost in hyperspace and then is found again 10 years later, all very mysterious. I only flew the early missions against Raiders and those guys were tough enough that I got stuck.


  2. I was a big NASCAR and IndyCar fan in the 90s. After the split, I watched CART and gave no thought to IRL. After Montoya's brief stint in CART I found I stopped watching it, and I stopped watching NASCAR around 2002/2003 pretty much. Wow, that's 5 years now! Anyway, in the past few years I at least watched the Daytona 500, but the last 2 I didn't even do that. Haven't watched the Indy 500 really in over 10 years.

     

    I liked IndyCar because of the track variety and competition. Road courses, short ovals, super speedways, and good battles. The good old days of Zanardi and Vasser in the Target cars while Paul Tracy was always on the brink of being suspended for boneheaded moves... :grin:

     

    I hope this can come back, but the truth is all the drivers seem to go to NASCAR now. I mean, Montoya? Franchiti? Villeneuve? In NASCAR?!?


  3. China's satellite was at over 500 miles altitude. It will take years for that debris to reenter and in the interim it's a hazard for other satellites and spacecraft. This was at 133, right at the edge of the atmosphere. The only things there are the ones on the way up or the way down, and that's far easier to avoid.

     

    Think of it this way...you have to blow up a car to prevent a bomb in the car from going off and causing worse damage (this is one of those bombs like a nuke where detonation is worse than blowing it up). Where would you rather blow it up, in the far corner of the lot or right in the middle where all the other cars are?


  4. There would be no more around than there are F-4s, if that. The Arrow was costlier and more complex than the F-4, so something tells me that best-case scenario Canada would've retired them with the collapse of the USSR. We're now replacing fighters that first flew in the late 70s, so a plane 20 years older (that's not a bomber or transport) would have no hope of staying current.
