    Artemis 2 Launch - Going Back to the Moon

    That's why it is so expensive to do space travel, they spent multi millions of dollars to test the heat shield in 2014, sending an atlas rocket up to its maximum altitude to simulate reentry for the Orion, it passed all criteria, but was a most expensive test of the theory and engineering of the...

    Artemis 2 Launch - Going Back to the Moon

    Daughter led the design team for the heat shield that protects the Orion astronauts on reentry. She is an ISU aerospace grad, and has a masters in aerospace and astronautical engineering from Georgia Tech. Proud dad; but ISU aerospace engineering ought to be equally proud of their graduate. She...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    Milan is often first man back to protect/stop against breaks, so if he crashes the boards??, this also allows Tamin and Toure to dribble drive and crash the offensive boards.

    Chicago Roll Call

    We will do Portillo's, THX, but Hackneys is a family tradition for over 40 years. but portillos might be on the agenda when we get back downtown. Edit: we do Portillos in Champaign/Urbana when we travel to east coast driving! Wife is U of Illini alum, but I have converted her LOL. She also got...

    Athletic Dept deficits

    Was looking for a place to put this rant, wife read an Athletic article about the Iowa legislature voting to offer to build a stadium for the Chicago Bears with Iowa Tax money to lure them from Illinois/Indiana, (think the last NFL stadium built was in the multible BILLIONS) lmao. Yet we can't...

    I agree with the premise, but I think we first need a professional, efficiently run concession operation, which we do not have IMHO

    Got to believe he is a first rounder. NFL owners/coaches love 60+ yarders to win games, and he has a few!! Hell, they draft 45 yard kickers.

    ***Official portal tracker thread***

    Most of our players are only well known in Iowa (and maybe some border areas). Most would be little known in Happy Valley, so Rocco would be a great spokesperson for say Stu Hansen, but I would think not so much for a dealer in Central Pennsylvania. Does FMV take that into account, or is it...

    *** Official Iowa vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I hope Mulder gets a lot of playing time against Eastern Illinois. Even though Buchanan , after limping off the floor, came back, it looks like his ankle has an issue that needs to be watched. Rest for him and Pleta seems a nice alternative prior to conference. PS: have no knowledge on his...

    **** WBB Gamethread - #10 Cyclones vs #11 Hawkeyes - 6pm ESPN ****

    Great win, but we have to work on the charity stripe! Those opportunities would have put this game out of reach much earlier, Big12 scouts will take notice.

    'People are flat-out slobs': Jamie Pollard

    Yeah, I don't go to concession stands because i either would have to leave prior to the end of the first half, or else I would miss the entire half time show, to sit down maybe right before the kick, only to be yelled at by a "new" host about some irrelevant stuff to the game. I might buy some...
