2012-08-28 Thread Fritz Holt
While an infomercial, these are interesting and informative facts that I felt beneficial for all cavers and their families to know. I have been taking a statin drug for several years and only recently learned of the importance of also taking CoQ10. Always open to comments or corrections. Fritz

More power to anyone who can hitch himself to NASA's planetary program for money to build toys. (Why does that sound familiar?) But descending into a lava tube would not be a good way to investigate Martian geology, because all you get to see is the inside of one lava flow or so. If you

Hi Lee SWR list, You may be interested to hear I will be using flying robots to explore the ice caves on Mt Erebus this December as part of my PhD project at New Mexico Tech. I am currently testing an xAircraft X650 frame with the open-source ArduPilotMega 2 flight controller. I hope to

Hi Aaron, Donald has certainly pointed out some strange openings in Antarctica- perhaps you can explain these. Looknig at them on Google Earth, they are most impressive. In addition to LIDAR surveying, can you take and transmit images of the features that your quadcopter is flying over?

I bought a spare Meander PVC suit a couple of years ago as soon as I heard they were to be discontinued. As I understand it, the main reason for their disappearance is a general European ban on PVC for environmental/health reasons. In any event, I do not know of a suitable
