It is very stress relieving beating up ninjas. Plus you get a donut.
In Monica’s world, it was a steal!

Well, this is a SPORTS bra. She’s only going to wear it while exercising, and then change into one of her other bras afterwards. When it’s in the hamper, she just won’t go to the gym that day.

And … is she just going to buy ‘ONE’?
What will she do when it’s in the dirty clothes hamper, then in the wash?

I hate when that happens.

Anyone else notice that Lydia has a rack almost on a par with Monica’s? That would explain why she got into the custom bra business, first for herself than as others found out she had to make more until she was in business making bras that didn’t exist anywhere else.

Indeed, bmonk! The B-2 was an entirely computerized test design - straight into production with no prototypes. The most comparable adventure would probably be the XB-70. The requirements for Mach 3 (very fast=very hot) high altitude operation meant developing an entirely new stainless steel honeycomb skin (think metal cardboard made from razor blade thin sheet), figuring out how to build with it, shape it, and mount it on the framework. Not to mention tons of other problems to overcome. One nice part of that program is that many of those inventions live on: The air intake design lives on in the B-1 bomber (supersonic, multi-engine, and radar defeating) as does the navigation system. Moreover, the tire technology developed for dealing with a 500,000 pound aircraft (250 tons, folks!) are now part of the standards for the huge jumbo jets of today. P.S. - Teflon was invented in 1938, but came into major use in the Manhattan project, not Apollo. Nyah.

The B-2 was an interesting case, IIRC, because the “prototype” was not a special build, largely by hand–it was simply the first turned out on the regular production line. WHich probably reduced the total cost somewhat–but if they had decided not to crank out several more, it could have been pricey.

Actually.. I don’t even have to buy specialty to have to save up. It’s bad when cheap bras cost more than a man’s dress shirt and tie..

$900 for a bra? (and I thought paying $40-$65 for mine was outrageous…)

nah, wouldn’t work… the cups actively resist changes in inertia, at high delta-V’s they’d just stay where they were when you let go and just SLOWWWLLY rebound…. and your probe would just fall out and hit the ground at the goal posts.
