US Navy test confirms that trucks make bad airplanes
"I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003
Indeed. They shouldn't test a new catapult, they should just assume that it works. That would save several thousand tax dollars and only risk several hundreds of millions of them.
The dogmas of the quiet past, are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty…we will be remembered in spite of ourselves… The fiery trial through which we pass, will light us down, in honor or dishonor, to the last generation… We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.

Hmmmm....sounds like I might should have had the audio on?

It's called a 'dead load'... for testing the catapults that launch aircraft. they do this right in port - it is something to see, hear and feel. stand next to a plane ready to launch from a carrier catapult at full power and you can feel every bone in your body shaking. not sure what those are filled with, maybe just water.
“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
Yes. That's one of the points to using them in the harbor - they are easily retrieved.
They can be weighed down to different weights to simulate launching different aircraft (waste of taxpayer dollars though that is. :P)
