Hi all!
I'm new on this forum. I will try to give you a presentation of me, but, in first, i want to inform you that i'm french and I don't speak and write english perfectly (sorry if there could be many mistakes in my sentences 
) I'm nervous becaus it's the first time I post on english spoken forum...
So, I'm french, and I live in south of France. I'm fond of astronomy and particulary Mars planet and mission who happened on his surface. I'm tracking since their begins Mars Exploration Rover Mission (via JPL website). I admire images the rovers gives. And I wanted to know how I can make my own color picture with raws images. Finally, I found the method. Later, I make a website to show to people images I make, and how thus too can make their own color pictures and panorama.
In a second time, more personnally, I love drawing (that the reason why I'm in an Art School). Drawing with pencil and on computer (with a graphic editor named "The Gimp" and 3D editor "Blender" - I'm a user of Free). I play music with a synthesizer and a sort of contrabass in rigid paper ("cartoon" is the good word?). I like the ants and how they could inspire us to make a better world (put a langourous music 
).
That's all I believe.
Bye,
Ant103.

Great Site, Ant103
Very interesting Images. Got to spend some eve to translate 
although i spend my yearly vacation in Lesparrè (Medoc), i still have a problem reading the french language.
"Go and do your homework son !". That`s what my dad always use to say. I guess he was right, right ?! 
Vive la MER,
Dirk

hey hey there are other french people here around who also love http://www.shedrupling.org and music. So we can exchange secret messages in french that the other members don't understand:
"s'lt mon pote ça boume?" and "éçèç€ïàôüçêçù" (I hope the invision board is able to render accents) 
. There was also recently in http://www.unmannedspaceflight.com/index.php?showtopic=2116 a discution about a great mystery: what is pétanque. When I was young I used to put ants into an glass box and look them dig galeries. But I don't know if english editors dared to translate Werber.

En fait, je balance entre ma région natale, le Nord de l'Aquitaine (Bergerac), et Marseille, mon lieu d'études. Je reviens en fait en Aquitaine pour mes vacances. Voilà

Me I am living near Toulouse

Isn't there a European Satellite control center of CNES in Toulouse ... or somekind of space-related museum ?
Posted by: Ant103 Feb 17 2006, 09:07 PM
PhilCo126 > There is sort of space center, but it's a didactic and pédagogic place, who name "La Cité de l'Espace". I've don't yet visit this center but I know that there are a real scale model of Ariane 5, a model of a Soyouz spacecraft, a part of Mir Station and many things about space exploration and science who concern astronomy.

Et moi aussi !!! (I say me too !!!)

One of the regulars on the Yahoo! Space Modelers Forum has contributed a number of excellent models to that museum's displays.

In Toulouse there are two interesting things:
-The CNES (or CST) (no open to public) where there are many research facilities. Here is done the ungratifying work of testing hardware, to qualify it for space. I worked here for one year to test electronic components. But there are many interesting things, such as a martian ground simulation (maybe it is scraped today) an Hermes model (idem) and high level scientists from the "X" school (polytechnique, the most prestigious science/engineering school in France) who asked to have their building in the shape of a "X". There was also the GEPAN, the french official UFO research organism, now reduced to just one scientist without official role.
-The "cite de l'espace" (city of space) a museum built around a strange looking building initialy intended for the "Inar foundation" (a "modern" artist) which displays an incredible number of things, small or large, including a Ariane rocket model on scale, the engineer model of the MIR station (identical to the flight model) that they bough to the Russians, a planetarium, many other models of satellites, a Moon gravity simulator that you can go in, and many other interactive anims and infos. A bit expensive if you go with all the family, but worth the price anyway. Plan a day visit or at least a whole afternoon. (restaurant and other facilities on the place)

Ow! I forbade one thing : in Toulouse there is the place were are build our famous A380, the biggest civil plane of the world!
No? Yes?
Okay, I know the out...
