Lanny Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) The words "Through Engineers Eyes" caught my interest. We probably do "see" things somewhat differently than people who are not Engineers. I remember watching the launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. I was thinking, "if I had worked on that machine, my part of it would have been about the size of a cell phone". My wife is interested in Astronomy. She was thinking what it would be like to get a birds eye view, from space. The (late) friend who was with us was so impressed that his wife, who was not with us, wanted to go to a launch. I suspect that when a friend who is a Civil Engineer (Structural), P.E., etc. looks at a tall building, he looks through it and wonders what the structure is like, since that's what he designs. Tomorrow, when the USA launches a missile from Kwajalein, targeting California, to see if they can intercept it, I will be watching with the eyes of an Engineer, because I know that is truly "rocket Science" and is extremely unproven technology. This is a test to simulate an incoming missile launched by North Korea and how the Interceptor missile launched.from Vandenberg AFB will perform.
