You know you're a UMSF fan when you try to access unnmannedspaceflight.com every morning even if you know that it won't work - just in case something has changed.
Sorry, guys, I am on of those poor souls whose home IP address is blocked from the UMSF site's host. Borek |

You know you're hardcore if...
... you have bitterly broken off a longstanding friendship because of the near rim/far rim debate -------------------- Jonathan Ward

Yeah David, this thread is brilliant hardcore: memorize Davids ode and repeat at a UMSF Forum contest and what shall be the prize? |

QUOTE (DFinfrock @ Jul 1 2006, 02:57 AM) I also thought it would make a great ending for a movie. Well, it would, but it was wasted in a RUBBISH movie - "Red Planet", remember? Where Val Kilmer and his equally unconvincing astronaut buddies take off their helmets, ready to die, only to find that - gasp! surprise! - they can breathe the air because martian beasties have breathed out oxygen and given Mars a breathable atmosphere...! (Actually, confession time... I quite like parts of "Red Planet", even though it's as scientifically accurate as an episode of Button Moon. Cool robot, and Carrie Ann Moss as a kick-ass female spaceship captain... I could live with that!  )

UMSF fan when you ditch class to see the first HiRISE science images come in.
Hard Core when it gets written in the local paper, and your teacher comments about it at the begining of class. Well, that was me. http://www.azstarnet.com/dailystar/news/149017 for the article. "I'm going to be missing class," Pearson said as he decided to stick with the imaging group effort. |

I'll let others decide where this ranks up, but I convinced my high school calculus teacher to let me watch NASA TV on the computer when Huygens landed during lecture. Everyone else in the class doing math, me in the corner with the computer's volume low pretending to be paying attention.
