@kenshirriff Thank you, this is a wonderful article! I had been wondering how celestial navigation worked in planes and missiles.
For all practical intents and purposes, this information is useless for me, but reading the article makes me happy.
If knowing how to build a positioning system for a strategic bomber in a post-GPS/GNSS world ever becomes practically useful to me: thank you again and may God help us all.
@deviantollam The full report is terrifying and ridiculous at the same time. I initially assumed that the officer just neglected to clear the chamber before working on his weapon. Which would have been bad. But he diligently explains how the way he was holding the gun induced a malfunction preventing chambering the next round. That means he had a full magazine in the gun while working on it, pointing it at himself. WTAF?!
