Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

The SpaceX design process is a metaphor for the great awakening.
Interesting take. Care to elaborate, fren?
Oh yeah man!
Both keep trying til all of the problems are solved and stay positive til the job is done. SpaceX just celebrated what NASA would have considered a failure. But they have realistic expectations and long term, flexible goals. Now they have and will accomplish what NASA has done better, faster and cheaper. Accomplish more in fact.
We have 'celebrated failure' for years because we also have realistic and flexible goals. We know just a little more of the job is done every time and we've learned just a little more. But we have a roadmap that consistently verifies our progress. And we can't lose ultimately. We have the biggest white hat on our side.
I like it! Thanks for indulging me.
