    It's fun and interesting to see an American reacting to Europe. Especially someone like Ash. To see his expectations confounded or confirmed.
    Anyone who has ever been in a small flying machine will know just how terrifying that helicopter ride must have been. I'm sure the pilot was very skilled, but I think Scott Manley summed up it up best when he described a helicopter as "100 points of failure brought together and made to fly" ...

If I don't try it, I'm sure I would regret it for the rest of my life.

    I’d like to get someone to do some more research on a particular subject. In the early 80’s in Israel, Haifa university, a professor studying crystals was able to make icosahedral crystals on a spinning cold plate. Thing is, according to current theory of crystal formation, each macro crystal is made up of smaller and smaller crystals that fit together. Sort of reverse fractal. Critics of the research suggested that it must be crystals suspended in a glass-like material. You can cut glass to almost any shape…but crystal shapes don’t spontaneously form. Yet these did. They call the regular crystal formation “tiling”…like floor tiles. The only way an icosahedral crystal forms, might be by rotating through higher dimensional space. That could be interesting by itself. But I’d like to know if the crystal could be trapped in three dimensions, then have a piezoelectric shock passed through it….see if another such crystal would resonate some distance away, without detectable signals at regular radio frequencies. The other thing: string theory (and i completely don’t understand) might suggest that the speed of light is only another direction in higher dimensional space….and I’d really like to see a “warp drive” developed that didn’t need very large amounts of energy to function, like the Alcubier drive postulates.
    So, can you get one of these mad scientist types to look into the matter? I suspect all that would happen is that the crystals would simply deconstruct…but hey, it might be interesting to try, no?
