  2. Rocket guidance is like balancing a broomstick on your hand. It's easy with a long broom, but try the same thing with a pencil. It's not impossible, but almost. Look up phase margin. IIRC, on the LEM they were concerned because it was only 18 inches

  7.  @jeromethiel4323  Neil Tyson said the same thing. Something like, 'If there's one thing that conservatives are known for, it's making money and they know that following the science is the best way to make money.' He also talked about how the liberals were the ones pushing anti-vaccine in the same talk. Probably 15 years ago, I'm sure it's still on the web somewhere.

  10.  @seniorslaphead8336  Every engineering and physics project I've ever worked on is all in metric. Metric is actually the only official US standard and people are free to use whatever they want. Volts/Amps/Watts are all metric. In reality it's only a concern for 0.000002% of the population.
