It is a term that seems to have spread through the modern vernacular at an alarming rate, and used inappropriately for many things.

I feel particlularly cross with China for irresponsably scattering even more junk all over the place by demonstrating its anti-missile capacity. Something has definitely got to be done to solve this junk problem. Even frozen drops of urine or other liquids could be more dangerous than a speeding bullet when you consider their immense velocities and could mean death to an astronaut on a space-walk or ev ...Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:54:09 -0600http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245668.html#p245668 http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245667.html#p245667 Yes, and I was particularly impressed by the snowy scene above. I get the feeling that those are not your actual meteor craters in the snow but the result of a snow-ball fight. Note the tracks of ski runs or "pistes" at the top. Would it be too much to suggest that we have here an alien winter-sports resort? If so, maybe the "aliens" are not quite so alien after all.

In spite of several past fly-bys, our knowledge of the Universe is still below 1% and many new mysteries are still to be unravelled.

Hoagland and others not withstanding. He seems to stop at discussing out right war in our solar system though, as do most. Go figure.

"The satellite's signal distortion is permanent, and if brought into operational service its impact on users would be variable and application-specific," said a Global Positioning Systems Wing spokesperson at the Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center. ...Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:07:03 -0600http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245463.html#p245463 http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245397.html#p245397 On Sunday November 1, 2009, the European Space Agency (ESA) launched its Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) Satellite, along with the Proba 2 Microsatellite, atop a converted Ballistic Missile, from the Plesetsk Military Cosmodrome, at 20:50 PM (EST) / 01:50 AM (GMT - Monday, Nov. 2) / 04:50 AM (Russian Time - Monday, Nov. 2).

Eris orbits Sol in a highly Eliptical Orbit, sharply inclined at an angle of 44 Degress to the plane of the Ecliptic, with an orbital period of 558 years (Pluto 247,86 years). The official International Astronomical Union's (IAU) defination of a Dwarf Planet is as follows:- A Celestial Body that (a) Is in orbit around Sol. (b) Has sufficent Mass for its ...Sun, 01 Nov 2009 23:14:58 -0600http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245395.html#p245395 http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245368.html#p245368 Well, the speed of light is too slow for any feasable interstellar space travel. But not for the astronaughts... I've read that when an object is going near the speed of light, time seems to speed up. So the astronaughts will get to thier destination in a matter of seconds to them. The only problem is, it would be decades for us. So speed of light would be more useful for time travel. I wonder how they will create a worm hole.Sun, 01 Nov 2009 13:20:18 -0600http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245368.html#p245368 http://www.book-of-thoth.com/ftopicp-245181.html#p245181 Zetanian, Yet you cannot deny that it is there blocking us from seeing what is there. True. But the origin of it might as well be a software glitch or whatever. Yes, but it could also be a deliberate cover up of Wormwood/X.

The preliminary design could be ready by 2012, and permitting enough funding, the Spaceship could be ready for blast-off in circa 2021.

"The vehicle flew even better than we expected," said Bob Ess, Ares 1-X mission manager. "We completely met our success criteria, and we actually blew them away."

"However, the blast caused no damage on the ground because of the high altitude, 15 to 20 kilometres above Earth's surface", said Astronomer Peter Brown of the University of Western Ontario (UWO), Canada.

However the International Astronomical Union (IAU), considers the idea impractical, given that many more Extra Solar Planets are likely to be discovered in the future.
