Copilot jumped out mid flight

I believe that's "nerd" Dave.

 

F U nerd!!

 

Anyone else google Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University last night, fall into some fascinating rabbit hole of learning, and come away profoundly impressed? Just me? Lol.

 

What goes up must come down. Simple physics.

 

tell that to Voyager 1

 

Edit : Wrong space craft...my bad.

 

V ger?

 

I was thinking about Columbia but Voyager is still in space. That does bring to light other questions. How do we know it's not going in the down direction of space? Does space have a down direction?

 

It was a great school. I truly learned a lot there but am glad I got the partying out of my system by going to University of Vermont for a year and a half first. My problem is I graduated with a degree in aeronautical science a year after 9/11. There would be no jobs for years so we all pretty much walked away from flying at that time.

 

Always gotta be an exception.

 

V-GINY?

 

I bet the dude was new and freaked out, and tried for the pond that was on approach but missed.

Either that or his side gig was drug running, he messed that up, and the main pilot was the enforcer.

 

I wouldn't rule out freaking out being worried about getting a blemish on his record and having his aviation career end before it started.

 

you mean like it actually did?

 

I always get $200k in cash before I jump out mid-flight.

 

Certain times of the year it is actually getting closer to the earth. That means "down" as far as I know.

 

If you are standing on another planet is the direction heading towards earth still the down direction? Seems to me this is the view point of a people convinced they are the center of the universe.

 

I am. What's your point?

 

Neat. I went and looked it up, and yeah both the Voyagers are traveling at about 35,000mph with respect to the Sun whereas the Earth's orbital velocity is about 67,000mph - so yeah, for a portion of the year we're "catching up" to it. TIL.
