Ah, but it's a functional design, see -- it's strong enough to pick a screw up, but it weighs a lot more than a screw.

So what did you do? Unplank or leave it?
|

It's composite decking, similar to this[^].
I made a load of little T-shaped hardwood blocks that fit into the slots on adjacent planks, for cramping them down, but that means that if I want to take up a plank that's in the middle, I have to take up half the deck.
For a 50c almost-tool? I don't think so!

Easy solution: turn the garage upside down and shake it until the almost-tool (and possibly loose change) fall back through the cracks.

Not a bad idea.
Most people who look inside my garage/workshop say it looks like it's upside-down already, so that would put an end to their snide comments.

Maybe DD can use it to hide the wig he uses to pretend he's his mother, when sitting in the chair by the window.

I must say he did a rather good job disguising himself there.

...being a rocketengineer. This is soooooo bloody interesting!
Meanwhile i try to achieve knowledge about rocketscience... well at least Kerbal Space Programm teaches me a lot. There is so much fun, stuff to do and damn, since i am able to calculate TWR and the delta v my rockets can achieve i get better and better in planning missions to foreign planets. Yeah math! 
The next step is developing more efficent rockets and specifying the effective payload i can carry with them to target x (example how many tons may my satellite weight to get him into orbit at x km height).
Ahw i can't even explain how much fun this is to me. And the MODS! Playing a realistic mission with need of lifesupport like food, water, oxygen. 
Sadly i don't know if they need someone like me in real life as i am becoming a softwaredeveloper...

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{

I am doing a BSc in Astrophysics, followed by one in Maths.
I want to be the guy that drives a nuclear powered robot across the surface of Mars.
Now THAT is a job!

BTW! You might be able to explain me how to calculate the delta v needed to get a Rocket with weight x to Orbit y Km high ?
Because i end up getting the delta v the stage puts out but don't know how to calculate the delta v needed.
I tried to solve it step by step, separated the calculations per stage and tried to assume the gained height. But it seems not that accurate because the trajectory turn messes me up a bit 
I assume thats essential for calculating the effective payload it can carry as the additional mass affects the other values drastically.

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

Unfortunately, I've found that every job is as boring as the next, once you actually have to do it every day.

Indeed, thats a sad but true fact 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

BTW, is it insensitive of me to worry about a German wanting to learn rocket technology?
Things did not go so well for Britain last time you lot took an interest in rockets.

Well... it's only for science ... u know

{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);

else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");

Ah yes. But when the dust settles they go off to US to build some for practical reasons.

I actually worked on a part for the space shuttle.
DD, I know the guy who did the analysis of the nuclear power plant for the Mars rovers.
