Dunno Doro,

I love all things sci-fi and think it's great to follow things like this.

I like to watch all progams about space missions etc, but I guess this sort of stuff just doesn't make good viewing numbers ??

Go figure, missions to the planets are just not as interesting as a bunch of (no offence) east-enders.

I'm waiting for the Uranus probe, will we get that on the first of April.

I'm waiting for the anus probe, we get that on the first of April.

Oooh, Doro, I never knew you were such a geek :p

Fab.

I really should spend more time on space type sites :cool:

[hellkat]

Cor, the photo of Iapetus looks awfully similar to Earth, doesn't it.

*excited*

hellkat
Also Geeky, but hides it well, LOL

[bill?]

I never knew you were such a geek :p


do you want to see my telescope ? ;)

[Doro]

tis the most exciting thing to happen in years (space related, that is *grin*)

Where'nt the russians working on a submersible probe to look beneath the ice sheets of one of the moons?

[Jay]

Yes, they had their leading Antarctic scientist on it - Ivor Bigskii

[bunbag]

how is it when someone say,s that they have seen a ufo that they all laugh . yet we're sending probes to other planets , blowing a hole in a comet then flying over taking photo,s :confused: But i still think that americans never landed on the moon probably the biggest con this side of the milky way

watching a program on flying discs that the nazi's scientist,s had this in the bag just before the end of ww2 the usa invented roswell men in black and all that

or is this probe just another con :cool:

The Americans did land on the moon, can you imaginr the Russians allowing them to commit such a con. They would have been watching the lander and the sites on the moon etc. However I do think that some of the photos were faked afterwards because radiation spoilt some and others just looked 'Better'.
The Germans did design some flying discs, but they were basically arcraft with either prop or jet engines and could not hover or turn tightly like supposed UFO's do. The most advancnced flying disc was designed and flown by the Russians sometime in the 80's

[bunbag]

hi sir ewock only one thing i can say is RADIATION there is no way that there spacesuits could withstand the amount when they passed though the radiation belt then landed on the moon but each to there own :confused: i'd rather get back on track and talk my usual bull**** ;)

That's why most of them are dying of cancer. :(

Interesting space fact-though you all probably know this anyway........
Nasa spent millions trying to develop a pen which worked in zero gee,hard vacuum and temperatures near absolute zero.



























The Russians used a pencil.........

[wegit]

Sounds 'bout right, but then they do have billions of tax payers money to waste, much the same as our government eh ??
