Reply:Amazing. And today we cant even build a Government website that works. If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before the bag of luck is empty."-Grandad circa 1990ish

Reply:Here is how we do it now.   Well, maybe not US but here is how the rest of the world does it now:Welding is around 3:20It's really kind of weird that the laying of the pipe actually propels the ship forward.
