Re: APOD: Wanderers (2023 Mar 26)

Hi,

there is a scene in the short film "Wanderers" by Erik Wernquist, where tourists jump of this cliff.

Re: APOD: A Hole in Mars (2020 Mar 01)

The home of the giant ant lions... xD

The question arises as to how the cavern under the surface of Mars was formed.

-Erosion, as in karst areas?
-River channels of lava flows?

Is there a photo of the immediate vicinity?

EDIT:

ok, it's a volcano, so the latter is most likely not the reason.

Hi,

definitively the wrong music...

Blue Danube or Also sprach Zarathrustra "Einleitung" fit much better ^^

Good Grief!!!! A list of thoughts: 1. it's so big, with all those heavy long arms, how does it even hang together? 2. I bet that road is going to need repairs after the BWE gets to the other side. 3. Speaking of the "other side", like that un-named chicken of yore, why did the BWE cross t...
