Starship Asterisk*

Time is only a mutually accepted reference point, not a tangible.

makc wrote:the fact that speed grows doesnt mean speed approaches infinity. it approaches the limit set forth by space geometry (that you are aware of).

Infinity?
Awareness?

hmmmm *coughs*,

yes, and I said,

In space, more thrust equals more speed.

A common law of physics which any one can easily understand.

So?
And, your answer?

Possibly even faster.

In space, more thrust equals more speed. 8)

You may want to re-think your statement makc

Read it, it just gives "other" information not covered here so far. "GB: There is active co-operation between NASA and Russian aerospace officials at a technical, scientific and maybe even military level. Do you liaise or have ties with organisations similar to your own overseas? VU: ...

Like Nereid said, goredsox,

"As I said earlier, I think you'll get more discussion, from both keen amateurs and professionals, in other fora than this one."

If you are getting close to the truth, they will let you know for sure.

Looks up, , , "sighs".

Some people just can't read.

Looks down, yep, you were right, Thanks for being a vet, they are good people most of the time. Congrats on making it to retirement also.

and some think it is about 3.4km, , ,

:lol: I suppose I should say that in times past it was the "just" thing to do by locking all other threads leaving only the first posters thread and moving the posts to that thread. (As makc used to do.) Or in other words, "Clean up on isle four!" And, a reminder to posters to ch...

Thank you Chris,
Now this is the kind of data that is very much appreciated. What is your estimate of central core size? ahhh yes, 3.4k,

I would hazard a guess, that it is the moon we are seeing, not the sun.

May I suggest that Neried make a new thread to discuss this matter if she wants to pursue this topic? This thread is not for such discussion and would constitute thread high jacking. Harry, not to concern yourself mate, and I am not the originator of the crater chain = war weapons idea, just a propo...

Like I said, a lier, and a slanderer. From the BAUT forum. "The Bad Astronomer16-November-2004, 12:19 PM fieryice is a sock puppet, and has been banned. I conclude that FieryIce is either a troll or a moron. um3k, no ad hominems here. Consider yourself strongly warned." Edited to put that ...

Bad upbringing?

Don't question ! ! !

No conspiracy theories allowed ! ! !

Accept what "they" tell you.

Just my advice when it comes to APOD, so called, discussion forums.

I note that you wrote "is"; to what extent do you think that, in and of itself, constitutes slander?

Not going to question me about his lies huh?

What do you think about inviting Dr. Phil Plaitt [sic] to write a post in response to this?

What do I think?

Could non-homogenous CDM over the 4.5 billion year history of our solar system explain various eccentricities of our planetary system? I highly doubt it. But that is just a personal opinion. As for those forums Neried listed, , well lets just say you should read VERY carefully what they say and HOW...

THX Watch out for real "crater chains" that only automatic weapons fire can make. Stay out of harms way, if possible, in other words. makc Yes, I agree that the double standards here at ass tricks should continue, S.E.T.I. is OK to talk about, but not any that would show such a controversi...

Note the upper right area of the "fountain", watch the streamers of material coming in, or falling back, after becoming cooler?!

Best viewed from about 01:30 and 02:15.

Thanks to sidekickbobcat for pointing this out to me.

So often when opponents in discussions can't, or won't accept the known laws of physics, trajectories, and motion they resort to "name calling". Cosmo_uk started that from "it's" very first post on page 2 of this thread. S.E.T.I., or the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, ...

or, , , it is being asked if a "mobile telescope" would be feasable.

Yes, as long as Nereid pays the fuel bill.

Yes, quite the enigma, isn't it?
