And certain people think I make waste posts.

 

You do, But your Spelling`s great

1`st coined on the Apollo space missions, it`s to do with launch orientation and time index windows, allignment manouvers

I got it from a book by Gene Kranz, a flight director. Do any of you know who the original Captain Refsmmat was?

You know I didn't mean you, right?

 

Sayo, sure, but I wouldn`t be bothered if ya did

 

Cap, I wasted maybe 20 seconds, and it would probably take as long to answer your other question

 

 

YT2095 <--- Google Miester

That's "captain" to you!

lol,

YES cap

whatever you SAY cap

3 bags full cap

Oh, be quiet. I'm still waiting if you can find the original cap'n refsmmat!

Motivate me then, because other than being an egocentric question, can you provide me with a Scientific question rellating to it? something that we may ALL endeavour to answer for you?

other than that, it`s a NON-Question to me and without rellevence

"General Discussion".

 

(Although I can't say I care really. "I know something you don't know" hasn't work on me for years )

huh? ya kinda lost me there dude?

n/m I am just rambling.

It was just a drawing Gene Kranz came up with and Ed Pavelka sketched. Victor Vector was his nemesis.

so you edited your signature making atinymonkeys post in #2 look random. when in fact you you DID have the saying : Refsmmat = Reference to a Stable Member Matrix.

in place at the time of his posting, so play fair dude

and yes your question HAS been answered, cough up the dough!

That was a joke.

I meant BESIDE my sig. Like, what is a reference to bla blah?

That $500 not included was there when I offered the $500, so from the beginning you couldn't get anything. The $500 was not there from the beginning!

And which evil moderator changed my poll?!

Gene Kranz did NOT come up with it! Do you know who did? Ed did draw it, though.

lets blame the poll changing on blike, things are usually his fault

He did say he was weird...

Well, that's what Ed Pavelka says and he drew the thing. Your trusting Gene Kranz who, as we all know, eats babies.
