High Altitude Hell #7: The Texas Thing, in Photos.

So, 9 hours of driving through the desert, from Tucson to west Texas.  Shortly after we passed through the ruined and abandoned town of Victoria, we came across random desert Prada.



I have no fucking idea, so don't ask.

Driving down county 555, we found the anti-LMNO.



HET dome.  where the sex is.



Air bearing plenum, as I mentioned earlier.



Part of the mirror lab.  More later.



91 FUCKING MIRRORS



Airlock being prepped for Bethany and I.



I learned 3 things that you never say to Bethany in an airlock.  No matter how bored you get.

1.  You ever get one of those sweatballs running down the crack of your ass, but you can't do anything because you're in a Michelin Man pressure suit?  Because that's a thing.  As we speak.

2.  I can hear you farting over the intercom.

3.  Can you hear me farting?  Because that's like a lazy man's commo check.

(It's worth mentioning that even in a pressure suit, you fart non-stop when pumping down to, say, 4 Pascals of pressure)

Then she threatened to cut my suit with her wire cutters, which I felt was unreasonable escalation.

Then the HET lens, above the 91 FUCKING MIRRORS:



Calibration Telescope, pic 1



Cal scope, pic 2



HET catwalk



"The Mangler", 1940 telescope, still useful for calibrating the HET.



As for what's going on with all of this, that's next installment.  But it's like the Manhattan Project and the Apollo Program added together while you bugger congress in broad daylight.  It's fucking amazing.

I love how the sighting scopes are bigger than my fucking house! Reminds me of that joke where the cop pulls over the limo for speeding and the pope is driving :lulz:

Also this photo has been fucking my head in for days


I can't figure out what the hell I'm looking at, cos there's a bit in the middle that looks like a photoshop fail. Something about mirrors I think but I cant figure out where they are  :eek:

I'm up to my arse in Brexit Numpties, but I want more.  Target-rich environments are the new sexy.

Academically I can understand the air plenum bearing.  Seeing it and trying to tell my brain it floats is kind of like Escher in reverse.  Reasonable, scientific reality that the hindbrain still doubts

P3NT, exact center, reflective honeycomb.  It's 91 one-meter hexagons that form the bigass mirror.  It looks funny because it has no declination.

The hindbrain is usually to be trusted.

For certain values of trusted.

Does temperature or barometric pressure change throw the rig off much, or is that compensated for?

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

Some really cool pics, there! And really enjoying this series overall  :)
There's no sun shine coming through her ass, if you are sure of your penis.

Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you, may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution.

If there is no order in your sexual life it may be difficult to stay with a whole skin.
