Astronomy

[Doubleclutch]

About the only subject you won't find covered in the TDR. What do you think, Patrick D. ?

 

[Gray Ghost]

I don't know about that. The way some of these guys have hopped up their 6, they could probably launch the space shuttle.

mars was discussed a while back iirc? due to it being closest to earth in long time...





i haven't read any discussions about them survivor tv shows over here as of yet... [i am watching this season, but never watched the other seasons... ]

I think we are too earthly minded to be interested in heavenly boddies.

Well, if the truth be told, one of our members emeritus was overheard to tell his son that "when the TDR posts a topic on astronomy, I'll be happy to help you with your homework".

Just thought I'd help Patrick out.

I've ALWAYS been interested in "heavenly bodies"!

I don't know about the rest of you, or maybe it's cause I'm fascinated with flight in general, but I love to go outside at night and just look up. I can't stand living down here in Prescott, cause I'm too close to the big lights and can't see all the purty stars like I can at home...



Don't know why, but I'm fascinated by 'em. Have no desire to study anything related to the heavens above, or to look at them through a telescope... . just like to look up, or lay down, or whatever and have a good long stare at the stars. My Grandpa taught me to spot satellites when I was about 8 and I've been hooked on that ever since. Hadn't seen one in a year or better (life going waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too fast, not enough time to stop and look up I guess) and then the other day while with him elk hunting I saw two in about 15 minutes. Amazing what gettin' out in the woods does to you.



My ex-g/f never could understand why I just wanted to lay down and look up w/ her at my side (no, not cause it led to that )... I don't know why either, just something about them shiny things up there that gets to me.

Looks to me like your "member emeritus" never stood a chance

Today I just found out he bought a new 4x4 6 spd. HO truck. I guess he was a little predisposed... That's what I get for eavesdroping.

A neat thing I read recently about mars is if we can get a robot to get rock or soil samples and bring them back to earth the robot would have to put them in a heavy metal box and weld it closed until it could be opened in a sealed environment. Reason being is there could be a virus or organism or some other thing that could threaten human life and possibly the human race. How could anything live on a planet as inhospitable as Mars?



Who Knows?

 

[illflem]

So how do we know that the stars aren't just holes in the top of a jar?

 

[snowracer69]

Hemi,



The answer to that is the possibility that everything in the universe MAY NOT be of a carbon base like everything on earth is. The book Andromeda strain (I think it's a movie too) bascially goes over this possibility (and is the reason for my hypothesis). We just don't know what's out there, so how do we know that there isn't a lifeform out there that we are not able to readily identify because we don't look for it?



Ya never know.....



Oh, and it's not paranoia if they're really after me
