How many of you know what a refsmmat is (before seeing it here or in my sig)? Post your ideas on what it is here! I'll tell you what it is after seeing you moan over it for a while. Prizes for getting it right is $500!*

 

 

*$500 not included

I got it from a book by Gene Kranz, a flight director. Do any of you know who the original Captain Refsmmat was?

Sayo, sure, but I wouldn`t be bothered if ya did :)

 

Cap, I wasted maybe 20 seconds, and it would probably take as long to answer your other question :)

Motivate me then, because other than being an egocentric question, can you provide me with a Scientific question rellating to it? something that we may ALL endeavour to answer for you?

other than that, it`s a NON-Question to me and without rellevence :)

Oh, be quiet. I'm still waiting if you can find the original cap'n refsmmat!

 

It was just a drawing Gene Kranz came up with and Ed Pavelka sketched. Victor Vector was his nemesis.

so you edited your signature making atinymonkeys post in #2 look random. when in fact you you DID have the saying : Refsmmat = Reference to a Stable Member Matrix.

in place at the time of his posting, so play fair dude :)

and yes your question HAS been answered, cough up the dough!

That was a joke.

I meant BESIDE my sig. Like, what is a reference to bla blah?

That $500 not included was there when I offered the $500, so from the beginning you couldn't get anything. The $500 was not there from the beginning!

And which evil moderator changed my poll?!;)

Gene Kranz did NOT come up with it! Do you know who did? Ed did draw it, though.

Well, that's what Ed Pavelka says and he drew the thing. Your trusting Gene Kranz who, as we all know, eats babies.
