Re: RCMP crash

if you don't do that, you get rewarded with a STALL warning and a shaker and in her departure, low WX. Would that set up give you a stall warning and shaker for the entire flight, regardless of airspeed? Or just initially and then subside once you were above the adjusted shaker speed? It reads to m...

Remember, we've landed a car (rover) on another planet, with a sky crane... without a pilot or GPS and sent the footage back in HD... which is fucking nuts.

Just saying. crazier things have been done than no GPS navigation for computers.
