Thread over in one. Everybody go home.

Faster Faster Faster, Until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death!

Not like we have any use for space shuttle engines anymore. May as well subjugate the human race.

I, for one, welcome our new robot ovelords.

That whole 'article' is a pretty long stretch on the thought, 'Hey, you know what those look like..."

I think it's pretty cool NASA is reusing the engines. If the new rockets are using all 6, that will be one hell of a launch.

I haven't watched every episode of Dr. Who.... but the Daleks always seemed like pretty underwhelming bad guys to me. They didn't seem to be all that difficult to defeat.

They're slow as shiat, lack anything but basic mobility on smooth terrain, only fire their weapons where their body is pointing... How hard would it be to lure them over some IED's and take them out?

I'd like a put one them thangs in muh Chevy Vega. BOY HOWDY! I'd be collectin' panks fer shur!

Hmm, must be left over from WWII

Daleks are basically tanks controlled by a small organism inside. With the special effects budget of the new series of Doctor Who, they can now fly/hover. Their armour is unobtanium and I think there's some kind of force field. There are lots of them and they hate everything that isn't a Dalek. They don't seem to like other Daleks much, either.

Welcome to Gawker Media Assets. i09, Gizmodo, etc, are all a few sentences asking the question, "Is this long enough to be considered an article? We included a photo and a hyperlink and everything!"

I got nothing so here is a kitty sayin hello.

Yeah, the shields have been shown to be able to take a pretty heavy beating. Normal projectile weapons are pretty much useless even when a bunch of them are concentrated on a single target. The shields do seem to be selective though. If it isn't moving fast enough to be deemed damaging it makes it through. I seem to recall a Dalek being temporarily blinded by a paintball gun. The only times you see Daleks being killed by weapons fire it either involves massive energy outputs to overload the shields or the use of powerful explosions.

Actually, concentrated fire at the eye is capable of taking one out, according to Eccleson's doctor in Dalek.

Trash cans on wheels with disco lights. Very scary. And believable too.

We should be fine so long as no time traveling chavs touch them.

And Daleks can talk smack (new window) when they need to.

GTFO

The Daleks are a pretty sorry villain, but in the defense of Dr. Who, I'm pretty sure the guys who built the first daleks were told "ok, we need an evil alien by tomorrow but all we've got is a fiver, three cans of spray paint and whatever crap you find laying around the office"

brantgoose: To Hades with Daleks. My nephew works for Cyberdyne. Exterminate all humans! It's not just a slogan, it's a business plan.

I should see if I can "borrow" the hat he gave my Father for Christmas. There's actually a number of companies named Cyberdyne and even Cyberdyne Systems because there are a lot of geeks and nerds out there. The Cyberdyne Group of Companies seems to be concentrated in robotics, computers, networks, and related fields of ominous endeavor.

I don't think that they're too bad really, considering what mil-spec gear often looks like.

With all their funding cuts I think it's only a matter of time before the only things NASA gets to explore are the bottoms of lakes.

I used to work for a defense contractor back in the 80s and one of the projects I worked on was called NABS Skynet. True story Bro.

That's how River killed (off camera) the Dalek during The Pandorica Opens/The Big Bang. She specifically mentions a single shot directly into the eye, though the Dalek's shields were down too.

Mind you, they have been fooled by a tea biscuit that they believed was a "TARDIS remote self destruct device".

Could be worse, he could work for these guys.



I hear their offices are poorly lit and quite damp.

Seriously, what is cooler than

"Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne engines"

I need one in my Type-R

The First Four Black Sabbath Albums: I don't speak nerd. Can someone translate?

FTFA:NASA says they're "Pratt Whitney Rocketdyne engines" from space shuttles Endeavour and Atlantis... but we think they look an awful lot like incognito Dalek shipping containers.

Engines that look vaguely like the bad guys from a British show. Now go away.

That site keeps getting linked to on Fark and it seems to be geeky dumbsh*t like this or "off our meds" style paranoia.

And doesn't one of the guys on Ancient Aliens work there?

Not Cracky McHairboy. The radio announcer dude.
