17·1 month agoIn the article linked to the post, it explains that Kaczynski’s lawyers were the ones who wanted it originally removed from its location and preserved.
In an effort to protect it from snoops and vandals, lawyers requested to have the cabin moved from its original site outside of Lincoln, Montana, to a nearby Air Force base.
As the trial approached, the cabin became the focal point of his lawyers’ planned insanity defense. Only a madman, they argued, could have lived in such primitive conditions.
If you think the reason is stupid, sure, but it wasn’t the FBI that made it so important to a potential trial.
2026 and 1998 are different times. Kaczynski’s pled guilty in 1998. The cabin is currently owned by a privately run museum.
I wonder if it has to do with ease of compositing multiple models. If you have three X-Wing models in the same shot you can have one in focus, with the others a little blurry and if the front one passes in front of the others perhaps it makes the compositing easier since instead of cutting two models separately and trying to make them look correct as they pass in front of the camera, you just cut them out together.
I believe (though I’m not an expert on the system) that it separates during the second stage when it’s no longer needed.
That’s the Launch Escape System (LES). It’s a rocket motor that can activate to separate the crew capsule from the rest of the rocket in the event of a bad launch.
Now that you have identified your mistake, you can correct it.
This is the pics community, which is for image posts of photographs only, so I think you’re a little lost and should post this in a more appropriate community.
Oh my. This got me.
Walking distance to the woods.
What back?
Rocket launchers don’t need much material for a tube. Tubes are mostly for aiming rather than holding a lot of force.
I think it’s a green shield bug.
Wartime production Mk1 with a Mk2 stock?

The warheads were 20 kilotons, which had a blast radius of about a mile. Given the 18 mile range of the cannon, this was considered safe enough.
The M31 Honest John missiles (like the one pictured) that replaced these cannons actually had a slightly lesser range of 15 miles (24km). The improved M50 Honest Johns eventually introduced in the 1970s had 30 mile (48 km) range.
These were meant for tactical employment, rather than strategic like ICBMs.
(This is an old pic and something did replace this.)
Nope, I was out of date. The private Newseum museum had it for years but closed and the FBI took back the cabin and put it on public display along with other notable items relating to the FBI.
