Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 Dec 07 - 07:25 PM Define 'intelligent'... is it being able to solve complex equasions and thus reduce the carbon emission of GDubyaB's ass or getting your pants on the right way round first time....? cos it's a pretty small pool to choose from!

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: Bobert Date: 21 Dec 07 - 07:29 PM Thanks, Slag... I had a cat named Meeko and he was a darned good cat... Never crapped or puked in the house... I'd hate to think that was becasue he was an android cat... I miss that cat so much... Sniff... |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: GUEST,Slag Date: 21 Dec 07 - 07:17 PM I often watch the broadcast launches and one term that used to mystify me was "...press to meeko." What the H was meeko? I finally saw it in print one day and it was spelled m-e-k-o so I figured out that it meant Main-Engine-Cut (Kut)-Off. Space jargon! |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: PoppaGator Date: 21 Dec 07 - 04:50 PM Spaceman? Bassman! Yes, I know ~ there was an "answer song" to the doo-wop near-classic "Mr. Bassman," entitled "Mr. Spaceman. In the brief passage quoted above, the only change in lyrics from the original is the subsititution of "space" for "bass." There must have been some additonal "spaceman-specific" words, and one would assume they would have been amusing. I can't remember any ~ can anyone? |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 21 Dec 07 - 10:54 AM I used a satellite myself yesterday. I was considering going to a concert at a church, but I worried that I would find myself wandering around in the dark looking for a parking spot. Then I had an idea, and I looked up the address of the church on Google Earth. I saw that they had a large playground which doubles as a parking lot. I left a bit early and snagged a nice parking spot right next to the basketball hoop. All those millions paid off! The concert was very good. |

Subject: RE: BS: Lyr ADD: SPACEMAN (Phil Ochs) From: Rog Peek Date: 21 Dec 07 - 05:51 AM SPACEMAN (Phil Ochs) Way high, so high: Travelin' fast and free. Spaceman, look down: Tell me what you see. Can you see the hunger there Strike without a sound? Can you see the food you burn As you circle round? Way high, so high: All the world will cheer. Spaceman, look down: Tell me what you hear. Can you hear a child cry, Body filled with pain? Deadly sores when cures are there-- How much fuel remains? Way high, so high: Spaceship made of steel. Spaceman, look down: Tell me what you feel. Can you feel the money gone As you sail through space? Can you feel how many die When you win the race? Way high, so high: Travelin' fast and free. Spaceman, look down: Tell me what you see. 1964 RPdec07 |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: Bobert Date: 20 Dec 07 - 06:59 PM Plenty of 'um out there, leeneia... Just too far to throw the suckers... I tried to throw one down to use in my garden and it ended up going thru Tony Weakley's chickhouse roof and killed 'bout 30 of his chickens... Man, is he mad at me and now I gotta get someone out there to fix the roof before it snows again... But I'll see what I can do... |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 20 Dec 07 - 06:30 PM Bobert, perhaps you can help me realize a dream I've had for a while. I've been wishing that a really cool meteorite, such a nickel-iron or a carbonaceous chondrite would drop harmlessly into my backyard. It wouldn't have to be real big - maybe five pounds. When you are strolling in space, would you bat one my way? |

Nevermind, this ain't no political thing here... It's about wizzing round space bouncing from satellite to satellite... Look, mom, no hands... Whoooopppeeeee!!! What time is supper, Sorch??? B~ |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: Sorcha Date: 20 Dec 07 - 05:16 PM Oh, bobert, oh dear. What will we ever do with you? Now, we 'know' that men are from Mars and women from Venus...but you are the last man on Earth I'd suspect of being from Mars. Are you out beyond Uranus yet? How's the view? Did anyone accompany you? (Like, maybe, did you take the Shrub and Henchmen off planet too????----please say yes.) Are there any Wimmens there? (if not, yer in trubble now, bud) Do they have 'politics'? If not, I wanna come along! (I'm a whiz at cooking on short money, but you'll eat a lot of cabbage and potatoes) Pssst---send me some of what yer smokin', bud. |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: PoppaGator Date: 20 Dec 07 - 03:50 PM Wait a minute, what the hell's going on here? Is Bobert really a rich guy who can afford to buy a rocket ride from the Rooshins? I don't buy it for a minute! (Even if he's zooming around in orbit up there somewhere, I find it hard to believe he'd figure out an internet connection for himself while tripping, er, I mean, while on his trip...) |

Subject: RE: BS: Hello from Space.... From: beardedbruce Date: 20 Dec 07 - 02:49 PM New Launch: 2007 December 14, 1317 UTC Site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan Launcher: Soyuz-FG International Designators(s): 2007-061A SSC Name Owner 32382 RADARSAT-2 CA "RADARSAT-2 lit up the night sky as it was launched successfully into space aboard a Soyuz rocket at 19:17 local time from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Canada's next-generation commercial radar satellite offers powerful technical advancements that will enhance marine surveillance, ice monitoring, disaster management, environmental monitoring, resource management and mapping in Canada and around the world." RADARSAT-2 will be put into 798-km altitude sun-synchronous orbit (98.6 deg inclination) with a orbital period of 100.7 min. Additional information on RADARSAT-2 can be found on the Canadian Space Agency web site at http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/satellites/radarsat2/inf_tech.asp. OR New Launch: 2007 December 10, 2205 UTC Site: Air Force Eastern Test Range, Florida, USA Launcher: Atlas V International Designators(s): 2007-060A SSC Name Owner 32378 USA 198 (NROL-24) US "Its thunderous departure out of Cape Canaveral on Monday afternoon was hard to miss, but the hush-hush ascent of the Atlas 5 rocket was wrapped in an unusual cloak of secrecy as the booster propelled high above Earth a classified spacecraft designed to communicate with spy satellites. Under orders from the launch's customer—the U.S. National Reconnaissance Office—the rocket flight entered a news blackout shortly after its 5:05 p.m. EST (2205 GMT) liftoff from Complex 41." "Following the tradition of NRO launches on Atlas rockets, the mission was given a name—Scorpius. The mission logo was displayed on the rocket's nose cone featuring a scorpion, a saying translated to "Beware Our Sting" and satellites flying in different types of orbits around Earth. The rocket flew into a highly inclined, highly elliptical orbit, dispatching a satellite that's destined for a Molniya-style orbit stretching from about 500 miles to 25,000 miles at an inclination of 63 degrees. Most space experts agree the payload was a data relay satellite that will be used to route information from polar-orbiting photo reconnaissance spacecraft to ground receivers." |
