Quote "We estimate that the capsule hit the ground at about 193mph (310km/h)," Best. Quote. Ever.

Still, I think NASA hasn't been doing good, reliable work recently. :(

Title: Rofl Post by: Lord Lanair on September 10, 2004, 11:26:34 PM Plus they've lost direction, and public support. Whatever happened to human missions that were glamorous and inspired people? :(
Not to be argumentative, but what's so great about the quote? :miffed: Title: Rofl Post by: smi256 on September 10, 2004, 11:34:48 PM I think simply because those are large numbers

Title: Rofl Post by: mole on September 11, 2004, 01:30:32 PM i think that hit their limitations of what they could do with humans in space. really they should send someone to the moon to kick the sceptics ass'
Title: Rofl Post by: smi256 on September 11, 2004, 07:03:53 PM why would we be going to the moon again? ;)
cuz, I don't think it's made of cheese, so it's not really worth it, ya know? .. Title: Rofl Post by: mole on September 11, 2004, 07:33:22 PM theres always mor things to learn. besides if they did i'd want to see the launch, doubt they'd use a saturn these days though
Title: Rofl Post by: smi256 on September 11, 2004, 07:45:19 PM no, no probably not
though it might be more cost effective.... ;) Title: Rofl Post by: mole on September 11, 2004, 09:29:30 PM "pfft send the humans far cheaper"
Title: Rofl Post by: Lord Lanair on September 11, 2004, 11:07:01 PM Quote no, no probably not The moon wasn't cost effective, but the trip managed to excite the entire nation and help create public support for further space missions. :) though it might be more cost effective.... ;) We'll send you first, mole (in a Soyuz rocket)! LOL Title: Rofl Post by: mole on September 11, 2004, 11:25:12 PM do i get to take a companion?
