Yes MIR had problems,NASA has problems too,even with the much higher budget. I guess it's a human thing.
Bad bad timing by Hitler,if germany had expanded to that front in summer that part of the story mighta been very different I agree. Russia did rally tho and,if I remember right,they were fierce,,at any rate,it took many nations to defeat Hitler's War Machine,basically all of europe and the USA.
Well Digital,You and I are yappin right along anyhow,dunno what happened to Audie and the others,,must be stuffin smokes and poundin nails.
Speaking of smokes,some of My plants have leaves the size of a quarter. I'm out of good window space and have been cycling flats and cups so they get a turn in the sunshine even after bringing another south window into service. The most recent sowing(92 cups)is sprouting and just in time. To this point I've had the best success with the Golden Seal Special. Next year I will do lots less tobacco and more veggies,,the tobacco will be started in late Feb instead of March and early April and all in cups,no flats.
