Man I'm sorry to hear that. I people every day who simply aren't qualified to drive the SUV's and vans they own. You can tell they don't really know how to corner in the vehicles, as the higher center of gravity makes real control difficult over a car or light truck, they have no good concept o

Re: [scifinoir2] NASA Balloon Telescope Launch Ends in Crash

So after that they just bring 'em back down? How do they keep the balloon in one place, some kind of manuevering jets of compressed air or something? A propeller system (although the vibrations of such would probably interfere with the telescope). - Original Message - From: "Mr. Worf"

Re: [scifinoir2] NASA Balloon Telescope Launch Ends in Crash

Fascinating. So the balloon is being carried along the air current of the stream? I guess the telescope would then have extra mechanisms to stay focused on its targets in the sky? I'd assume the need for precision would be greater than that used for terrestrial-based scopes which compensate for

This reminds me of those pulp thriller/conspiracy novels of the late seventies and eighties wherein a plot to place the son of Satan, Jesus or Hitler (or some mutant) in the Oval Office was uncovered and sometimes thwarted (after great carnage). The dots in this conspiracy are interesting: 19

Just had a thought, as I was hitting Send. If Obama WERE Malcolm X's secret son, then there's NO WAY IN HELL he would've gotten NOMINATED, much less WON. The Trent Lotts of the political world would've rooted that out ten minutes after Obama announced his candidacy. The show's over. Move along. N

Mr Worf, I'm sorry to hear that, too. My moment of being done with SUVs was when a woman in Downtown Atlanta, driving one while chatting on her cellphone, jumped a corner and almost made me a LOT thinner than I am. On Fri, Apr 30, 2010 at 9:04 AM, Keith Johnson wrote: > > > Man I'm sorry to hear

That was my take on the writing as well. I love the new Doctor but he's got the wrong team writing for him. On the whole, I'm pretty disappointed and I'm a big Who fan. :( ~ "Where love and magic meet" ~ http://www.adriannebrennan.com Experience the magic of the Dark Moon series: http://www.adria

The jet stream. It is an old idea though. The Japanese came up with an idea to use it back in the 1940s to carry a balloon filled with bombs and biological weapons but they didn't have a way to stop the balloon over populated places. I think that the balloon looses buoyancy after 40 days and slowl
