Most astronauts only go about 250 miles up, the distance from Cleveland to Cincinnati. That said, Neil Armstrong got a lot further away from Ohio.

Is this in Lebanon? Looks like the pedestrian bridge north of exit 18.

I’d ask if this is the Amtrak bridge, but Cleveland only gets Amtrak service at o’ dark thirty.

Even if you somehow need a vehicle this size, you can park it in a way that it only takes up two spaces, not four.

Yeah. Line 3 used different rolling stock than the other three lines, unusual linear induction motor powered equipment, which was reaching the end of its service life. The plan was to shut it down in November 2023 and temporarily replace it with bus service while they built a Line 2 extension to serve the neighborhoods Line 3 used to. Unfortunately, a train derailed in July 2023, which resulted in the system shutting down four months sooner than expected.

The Line 2 extension is going to take a different route to eventually arrive at Line 3’s old terminus. I think there’s plans to covert the old line 3 viaduct into a Bus Rapid Transit guideway.

It’s hard to be that secret when you travel via Air Force Two, which generates temporary flight restrictions wherever it goes.

So I guess it’s, “Vote blue no matter who, unless the candidate is so blue they make the donors uncomfortable.”

The only reasonable way I could see this happening is if the publisher had a limited time license to sell the ebook, and the contract has expired, but they still have some unsold print copies in a warehouse.

No, I don’t know why I’m trying to justify this.

Be careful not to mess up your back moving furniture, or you’ll never sit down in a chair normally again.

For exploring black holes, you probably want a class 1 or 2 probe. Without that flared ring, the probe may get pulled into the anomaly, then you’ll have a bugger of a time getting it back out.

Glad I gave that gif the time it needed to play out.
