  9. How many have failed to finished a aeromodel , that was far to complicated for our skill, at the time of ' plan purchase '. I admit to this , after I decided to build a ' fullscale flying ' LYSANDER spacesailor
  10. DEPENDS HIGHLY !. on the ' average ' person . I could already weld, ferrous & nonferrous metals from my apprenticeship with a Blacksmith tutor. Loved ' elecronics ' by way of ' popular mechanics ' & similar mags. Aeronautical by aeromodling . SO What is ' average ' . I definitely FAIL at Buearocrasy .

  18. Just my poor understanding of ' ocean expansion ' . The Mediterranean has been Filling for a few decades. AND It is rising! . BUT For that length of time it Should be, as full as it can be . BUT Evaporation is reducing that Mighty fill rate . SO IF the earth is Warming, it's evaporation will increase making the earth ' wetter & warmer ' . Just like it was before getting hit by a big astoroid, making " SnowBall " earth. spacesailor
