I think the responsibility falls on whichever country issued the launch license but NASA not FAA (sorry my bad) due to the some convention (space liability convention?)

To my recollection, SpaceX would not be found liable. The FAA will likely order an investigation into the root cause, and any damage will be compensated by the FAA.

Well, unfortunately aviation rules are written in blood so someone will have to die before the government imposes new restrictions so government overreach won’t be an issue.

Do drones have ADS-B transponders?

I mean, multi engine planes should be able to fly without one engine. It’s still an emergency, but they should be able to get down.

In that situation, the UAV operator should have to pay for the repair on top of a punitive fine/jailtime (this is my opinion and is not backed by law).

On take off? The plane is pretty screwed. Single engine planes are also screwed in general Hitting a prop is catastrophic.

But you’re right - it doesn’t undo the damage.

I guess the takeaway is to talk to ATC when you’re at a controlled airfield

Aren’t there TFRs over fire fighting activities?

Also, any semi-busy to busy airport is generally towered. If you are flying into controlled air space without talking to tower…. You’re going to get charged with a federal crime

You reply to Amazon recruiters? The last email I got wanted me to move across the country and go to the office. I almost replied hahahahahhaha but decided it was more professional not to reply at all

Why don’t they like blood donors

I agree with you in theory, but as a dude who has had to take a dump after a long flight I really appreciate the shorter line

Who owns the LA Times?

No, he’s just as unhinged. He’s just expressing it more openly

He is a socialist! He supports the National Socialist German Workers Party!

You know what? I like the C152 better. It’s color coded around the speedometer.

Hooray

I didn’t find the speed rating for the alt flaps, but I was able to verify that it is an electrical system backup

Looks like I’m wrong.

China. Well, more to Xi Jinping. Ever since the decided to strangle HK, HK has become worse and worse.

I don’t think whatever electrical backup has enough power to deploy flaps at landing or near landing speeds.

Out of utter curiosity, how does someone who has overstayed their visa become a citizen? I thought overstaying a visa automatically throws up red flags

For reference, I had to look it up: Jay-Z was 31 at the time…

We all apparently missed the sequel:

Musk is equalest of all
