I did a few cut-and-paste jobs with Home Plate put into (hopefully!) well-known surroundings. Helps me understand the scale of the place better...

Have you guys and girls got any other "earthly sizes"?

Thanks Dilo, but one question. Are we comparing the thickness of the smog or the size of Homeplate and the hills??
Posted by: Oersted Feb 4 2006, 05:24 PM
...and is Home Plate actually an inverted pyramid?

Hey Oersty. This is tres cool! Now Reeshard can buy a ticket to see it, the Pope can bless it, and W. can protect it from Al Q*eda!
Now do Piccadilly Circus for our English friends, Balmoral Castle for Jolly Jock, put it under Sydney Harbour Bridge for Astro0, and in Ultreya for Ustrax!
FUN!

Yeah... ...I was always sorry they never got to do that launch from Gusev AFB.
At least we now know what SLC-6 will look like in a gazillion years!

Yes Dilo, I confirm. Bad weather here today : grey, cold and damp.
It's cold also at Gusev but at least it's dry and sunny.

Barely adequate, I should say. Just the pieces for my mantle will fill half the bay!

You sure posted in the right topic. I'd like to see a picture of HP with your fireplace superimposed on it to scale!
