There will be fifty questions worth $500 each. New questions will be added to the OP every 10 minutes (Or as close to that as I can manage). Whether answers are "close enough" or not will be at my discretion. I will not say "Be more specific" or "Close." Only "Yes" or "No." But I may give hints if a question goes unanswered. In the event of a tie, I will ask one tiebreaker question open only to the contestants involved (If someone else answers it correctly, a new question will be asked). Do not edit your posts under any circumstances--Post again! (You may not be able to edit, but if you are, don't!)

Okay, it seems as if that's also correct, so you get the big, big money.
-My brain's fried, but here are the tentative results. I just noticed that Randall got "Indio" first, and have corrected that.
C.J. Woolf: 15 correct
Randall: 13 correct
teleforce: 6 correct
RinconSB: 6 correct
PenguinHunter: 5 correct
Eli: 2 correct
intrepid: 1 correct
kuranes: 1 correct
Which should total 50, but only totals 49, I think. I'd sooner jump off a roof than re-count tonight, so I'll do that tomorrow, then ask teh mods to give you the cash. Adios!

ItThe Brennschluss, or burnout of a rocket is the point in which propulsion ceases (be that from no remaining fuel or a cutoff system), after which it continues on its own momentum, reaches the top of its parabolic curve as it succumbs to the force of gravity, and then heads downwards.
The V2 or A4, recognized as the world's first ballistic missile, used an MMIA (Mueller Mechanical Integrating Accelerometer) for the purpose of determining the brennschluss, and thus, the flight distance of most V2s (though a small portion used a guide beam). More specifically, the MMIA was part of the Kreiselgeraete SG-66 system in the V2.

Fuck. Finally a question I knew............all the 80s crap.
Be sure to include an 1980's category. And possibly something about 1990 Raiders starter jackets.
