"Have you considered buying a Life Term Policy ? Now is the time to do so..., and our near record low rates ! You know it makes scense...call me back on 101100100011.

It's been a long time since I was at school, so I had to google the sign to make sure it was "less than", lol.

Thank you for the answer.
BTW my father in law worked at Stennis on the Saturn V engines and SSME's.

Alan, how much fuel, in % remaining will that burn take ?

We are talking Europeans who go on vacation for a whole month.....can't interupt that.......

PD, yes, some are very atmospheric in nature. Like you say, makes you want to go for a walk there.

Whats a "while" 1 month, 1 year ? I wish they could be more specific....they are scientists/enginneers...right ?

I read somewhere there was concern over the heatshield and infact a new one might have to be built. Does anyone know if that was the case ?
Logically proberbly not if the heatshield is now ready.

In the meantime I think there are 4 dustdevils in this image.

He should have said something like

"I Neil Armstrong, a humble man from Earth, step forth onto the Moon, representing all of humankind".

or something.....

Or...

"ok we made it here, Buzz, I sure hope the ascent engine works....."


he he he.

I seem to recall the LRV did kick up a lot of soil as it sped along, it did indeed go pretty fast sometimes.

"Engine and yardstick", the reporter sounds like a hick from some town with one train per week arriving.....LMAO.

He also refers to Spirit as The Spirit, and that they leave tire tracks.

Dumass.

Often a low estimate is the only way to get a project running, everyone knows its going to cost more or take longer. Look at the Boeing Dreamliner, its way way behind the original schedule, also Airbus had major problems with the 380, just to be fair and balanced.......

The Landis paper is really interesting, I did not realise electronics could operate reliably at 500 C.

Jay, I would imagine cost was involved.

K2MAH here .

Thats my callsign, I have a "handy talkie" as they say in the USA. I am not active on it but its handy to have incase of a Hurricane disaster.

Now I know what Poalo looks like. I thought he was a young fellow with dark hair.....for some reason I can't fathom.



That pic of the testbed in the sand is now my desktop paper.

Awesome.

I thought it did look a little small.
Thanks.

BTW I saw the smoke contrail from the Delta that launched GEOS O on Saturday as we drove to UNF.

Is that the Sun in this picture ?

Sun ?

Those pictures are pretty interesting. It reminds us how close she went to the edges. A testament to the confidence of the Rover Drivers and thier management.

What happened to Geraldo ?

A very good idea Paolo. At what horizontal distance from the highest rim will the frame be filled from top to bottem on the Navcams ?

So...is there a pic of the west route available to the public ?

Slabs of space junk indeed. That reporter needs a rocket up his behind.......

945.....are they serious ?
