Here is an F-106A bomber!

The F-15E. Its not the best air superiority fighter, but its very good at that and it is the best strike fighter. 😎

It seems like the F-15E would be the logical replacement for the F-111. Its in production. A swing wing aircraft like the F-14 is, I think, ideal for long range and high speed at low level, but the F-15E ended up dropping bombs from high altitude over Iraq. If someone can come up with an excuse to start building Tomcat 21… 😀 😀 😀

That makes me reconsider whether the life is really only possible with presence of oxygen and within the narrow temperature range of -30C to +50C as we know it. There is definitely a proof of Earth’s anaerobic life forms, as well of bacteria that are able to sustain temperatures exceeding +100C on long term. But whether any lifeform could go the opposite direction and live under -150 or -180C… Who knows?

Lack of oxygen is not a problem. The Earth had no oxygen in its atmosphere for at least its first couple of billion years, and life started long before that. Lack of liquid water is a bigger problem. Life needs a liquid medium to do its chemistry in, and water freezes at 0C. There really aren’t any good substitutes for water.

It would have been unthinkable even a couple of decade back for
earthlings to even consider the possibilities that there’re these lakes, rivers, mudslides,
Katrina force windstorms and more, which mirrors almost that of the earth and which is so similar
and so close to home in one of Jupitors many moons. Therefore…

Why is it so unrealistic that the next thing that science will discover,
and prove, might not be the possibility of life forms, i.e., a Nessie of kind, in the toxic
and inhospitable lakes, rivers, and atmosphere of this moon of Jupitor?

No moon of Jupiter has any such conditions. They are all airless wastes. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is the only moon in the Solar system with an atmosphere. It is composed of 95% Nitrogen, and the remaining 5% is methane, cyanide and other hydrocarbons. The temperature on its surface is -178C, or -288F. Any river or body of fluid it ever had was made of liquid methane. Nessie would not be happy on Titan.

But, one thing I just couldn’t get out of my system is this: Why did she stop almost abruptly
and almost instaniously when it’s finally becoming a routine for her???

We went to the Moon to beat the Soviets there. Its damned expensive to go to the Moon, and we had achieved our objective.

Suspicions: Could future paleontologists to the moon surprise us
all with finds of the existence of prehistoric life forms on the lunar surface
known as homo sapiens???

No. There is no atmosphere on the Moon. Its a lifeless little ball of rock and it always has been.

I think a SAM could take it out. Thats one reason they didn’t replace the B-52 with something like the B-70, but went low with the B-1 instead. Anything that big and that high is going to be seen coming from a long way away.

F-14 for sure is a real beauty. WHile the F-4 is a different kind of beauty F-14 is different. It’s shape is so beautiful.

They should atleasst keep some of them flying. Just in case they find something seriously wrong with Superbug

You mean, other than being slow, short ranged, and lacking Phoenix or a powerful radar?

I love the Tomcat, but I wouldn’t feel so bad about its retirement if it was being replaced by something better. 🙁
