This book’s philosophy—"passion over math"—is such a refreshing take! 🚀 Too often, people assume aerospace engineering is all about complex equations, but as Ed Gibson points out, curiosity and a big-picture mindset are what truly fuel innovation.

I love how it frames aerospace as something accessible to anyone fascinated by flight, space, or the sheer audacity of human ingenuity. Whether you’re a dreamer, a tinkerer, or a future engineer, this seems like the perfect starting point to understand the "how" and "why" behind the machines that defy gravity.

P.S. Here’s the alt text for the cover:

The image is the cover of a book titled "Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering: Beginner's Guide." The background features a cosmic scene with a starry sky, predominantly in shades of purple and blue, suggesting a space theme. In the center, there is a white outline of a spacecraft, with a detailed engine at the rear, emitting a blue glow, indicating propulsion. The title is prominently displayed at the top in large, bold, white letters. Below the title, the subtitle "Beginner's Guide" is written in smaller white text. The authors' names, Ali Baghchehsara, Francisco Gallardo López, and Jens Strahmann, are listed at the bottom left, along with a foreword by Astronaut Edward G. Gibson. The overall design is clean and modern, with a focus on the space theme.

A large buildup of US naval forces in & around the Southern Caribbean has officials in Caracas, #Venezuela & experts in the United States asking: is the move aimed at combating drug #cartels, as the #Trump admin has suggested, or is it for something else entirely?

On the off chance anyone is at Smugglers Festival, I'll be there talking about the vagina bread incident at the Crab Museum's carbs workshop!
in reply to Another Angry Woman

Anyway there is a generation of kids between ages 7 and 11 in the east kent area who now know that a healthy vagina usually contains lactobacillus to help it self clean and they'll probably retain that word because they were chanting LACTOBACILLUS! LACTOBACILLUS! LACTOBACILLUS!

So I guess I can pop this in the vagina museum's annual accounts as delivery of educational work to young people

The US no longer donates weapons to Ukraine, but still delivers satellite based target information.

This is the only time you will hear me say, we need Trump for the intelligence.

For a non-native English speaker this reads very wrong if you use "intelligence" with the more-used meaning...


La cosa esilarante di questi account di "supporto" finti di #Mastodon è che penso che ci sia una campagna di diffamazione proprio su Mastodon stessa, e nel modo in cui si presentano fa pensare anche ai nuovi arrivati che Mastodon fosse centralizzato perché da come lo dice il messaggio pare che proviene dallo staff di Mastodon.

MA Mastodon NON è un'azienda, e non ha uno staff.

Mastodon è IL SOFTWARE a cui si può essere hostato online.

Giusto per chiarire.

The Man Stance
You have seen the stance. It's at every barbeque. A beer in hand and several "alpha" men in a small semi-circle arc or lined up shoulder to shoulder in the "King of the Hill" stance.

Remember when Sen. Cassidy from Louisiana, a physician himself, struggled to confirm RFK Jr? In the end he voted to confirm him with the assurance RFK Jr would NOT undermine the federal vaccination program and would consult with him on HHS matters. He’s done none of that. 😡

Meteorological conditions and incidence of Legionnaires' disease in Glasgow, Scotland: application of statistical modelling - PMC 2012

Identification of such conditions is important since it not only facilitates our understanding of the environments in which Legionella bacteria survive and are dispersed, but may also aid disease detection and prediction. Findings from this research avenue are likely to become increasingly pertinent to public health policy and practice given changes in global climate [14, 16].


Warm, wet weather associated with increased Legionnaires' disease incidence in The Netherlands | Epidemiology & Infection | Cambridge Core

Specific weather variables can be used to better understand the underlying association between the weather patterns and the incidence of LD. The possible transition towards a warmer climate with fewer days with precipitation but with more abrupt changes and heavier rainfall, as described in other science fields, could mean that the epidemiological profile of some diseases are affected by the weather changes [Reference Campbell-Lendrum, Corvalán and Neira22]. However, the underlying biological mechanisms of the associations between weather and LD incidence still remain unexplained. Additional research in this field could help provide more evidence for the biological plausibility of ‘warm, wet weather’ being associated with more LD cases.
