Quote: David Bussell @ July 20 2009, 11:30 AM BSTI watched The Right Stuff the other night. Terrific film and absolutely lousy with big stars.
I love that film! Dennis Quaid's fineast moment must surely be blowing into that tube thing! Great book as well.

That's Mars.
That's what they want you to think.
Quote: DaButt @ July 18 2009, 1:15 AM BSTSuck on these: photographs of 5 of the 6 Apollo landers on the surface of the moon. The astronauts' foot paths are visible, too.
The recently launched Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter took the photos. My company supported its launch.

I feel like I've been ripped off. I've been hoping and waiting for satellite photos like these for years and this is the best they can do? Little dots and lines that don't look like anything except little dots and lines.

You know the price of everything and the value of nothing, Curt!

I refuse to get into any man-flirting until Rob H gets back from holiday.
(Great film, though, The Castle )

That's why I don't use eBay. 
Is NASA planning to eventually put a man on Quebec?
I heard there was a Chinese Satellite heading for the moon to take some detailed pictures of the surface.
DaButt you know anything about that?
And the moonlanding happened, live with it.
He can't answer he's out back with his 12 gague watching the skies.

China, India, Japan and Europe have all launched missions to the moon in recent years. As far as I know, LRO has the highest resolution camera.

Did Jesus tell you to say that. You robot! 
Although Moon landing conspiracy theorists are idiots, Capricorn One is a great fun film.

Everyone knows that footage was really shot on a Hollywood film set. There's tonnes of evidence.
