Nicely done.

Two more for you:

What is this and what is it used for?

That's a unarmed projectile target that you guys launch & it acts as a target for the missile defense systems.Don't remember the name.

This is a one-of-a-kind US Military satellite - the Soviets have several in orbit, what makes it different for all other US satellites (hint: it also differs from deep-space probes like Voyager)?

@Armstrong you can play too.

Poland can not into space.
I had to search for the second one.
It says SNAP-10A,an experimental nuclear reactor that was launched into space in 1965.

Yes "Major League Soccer". Don't you know we American's only accept one kind of Football. European "Football" is too literal!

...

And no, I actually did mean the MLS. Just being a smarta**

Actually Europeans, Asians, Africans, Australians, South AMERICANs and even the Inuits in Greenland call it as Football !

You guys calling it Soccer is just like how you guys to cover up your spelling mistakes when you wrote 'color' instead of 'colour' started calling it as American English !

Just kidding !

The first picture is an LV-2 Long-range ballistic missile target, originally known as the Trident C4 (the current standard being D5).

The second is indeed the SNAP-10A, the only US nuclear reactor in space. Deep-space probes like voyager have radioisotope thermoelectric generators, which harness heat from decaying elements, but aren't themselves nuclear reactors.

The Soviets have about a dozen nuclear reactors in space, even to this day, one of them exploded over Canada in 1978: Kosmos 954.

Nicely done, you've passed. But, if your ever interested in going another round I do have even more difficult questions.

Gray, rainy, working from home today, one of my dogs is refusing to come inside (she loves the cold, wet and snowy weather).



Looks like I'm cleaning the floors later.

Buahahaha!!!

Here's the funny part the owner is CHINESE!!

And the waitress, who's cute btw, didn't even speak Japanese when insaid something to her. Then her other server friend came by and I heard them talking in Mandarin.

Seriously? lol

And the walls. Vacuum and steam, and we'll meet for dinner later.

The following photography is my quiz.

For a change of taste.

The Nature has been kind to some of us.

I love that picture! Part of Thayer's Counter-shading study (one of his Abbott Thayer's tests). We see one wooden bird because it's poorly shaded... we don't see the one on the right due to its counter-shading. Yes, there are two birds!

For some reason the US military is forgetting camouflage fundamentals and is wasting a lot of money on digital designs.

One of his "Copperhead" paintings. We have these guys all around our pool in the summer.

Concealing-Coloration in the Animal Kingdom (1909)

Some great literature on the subject of counter-shading and natural camouflage.

Just saw you on the other thread.
