For a second there, I thought I'd missed something I'd be kicking myself over! I do get to see the Blue Angels do their stuff from our place every fall.
I think that the coolest skygazing *sight* ever was seeing the Stardust capsule reenter with San Francisco as the backdrop. It looked like it went from SF to Oakland in about 2 seconds. |

Glad to see how calmly the people from San Francisco took everything. It is relly had to freak them out.

My ex-GF lives about 40 miles NE of there. Have we figured out how to submit targeting suggestions to them yet?

Cool indeed. How do they do that? Some sort of chroma key on steroids? What software can be used for that?
It would be cool to have, say, a Gemini capsule in lunar orbit. Any takers? Paolo Amoroso -------------------- Avventure Planetarie - Blog sulla comunicazione e divulgazione scientifica

I wouldn't worry. Construction is obviously not completed yet.

I wouldn't worry. No? I find your lack of faith disturbing... -------------------- |
