He makes it look so easy, like he could do it any time as well, trust me to do anything even close to that is bloody hard and probably for the average mortal impossible.

I like the finish - just passed it into the top corner; most would've gone for the blast.

Here's a bunch of nice science videos

And as we're freely linking to YouTube let's not forget the http://xkcd.com/c202.html".

Deep Space

Deep Space 2


Outer Space Track 01


Outer Space Track 02


I found this last one - a narration with Pink Floyd in the background (from Wish You Were Here). The narrator makes the comment that the universe is 78 billion ly across, although toward the end of the narration, he seems to infer that the distance from Earth to HUDF galaxies is 78 billion ly. Is this distance accepted by the community of cosmologists?

He makes another stretch with a comment that each star in the HUDF galaxies has the possibility of having planets (and of course with civilizations).

The Hubble Deep Field: The Most Important Image Ever Taken (warning - contains a clip of Gary - Numa numa guy).


So I look at other sources, but I can't readily find a distance.

Watching some of these reminded me of the first Hubble shot that I ever downloaded. It took over two hours on a long distance call. :biggrin:

That probably looks amazing but interfaces like that are not likely to prosper because it'll surely be too fatiguing. A mouse or graphic tablet would always be better. At most, I think it would end up as a pad/keyboard with gestures like the commercially unsuccessful and AFAIK now defunct TouchStream LP.

They said: "This is how we intend to defeat the imperialist, capitalist, pigs". The rest was some mumbling about Anna Nichole Smith.

I googled for 'radius of the universe' and here is the first hit. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/mystery_monday_040524.html
It comes up with the same number, but for the radius, not the diameter. I still don't know if the figure is widely accepted.

you have to admit that 1000 shots per minute is impressive.

to whoever asked for what they say there, they say since your stuff flies so low they had to combine radiolocation with optical target recognition, and select either missle launch or more old-fashioned fire based on circumstances.

Just wanted to pitch this which is one of the darker British comedies from Chris Morris for all those who are anti-valentine or alternatively the ultimate valentines gift for an ex-lover. It probably requires a warning of don't watch if squeamish.

Its amazing to think that it was broadcast on a Sunday lunchtime as well and was for the most part a live event. This of course led to ssome memorable moments such as Rod Hull vs the Curious Orange.

Indeed, I remember watching it and thinking, first time in years I have a reason to watch TV at the weekend before lunchtime :smile:

I followed it religiously and thank you Kurdt for reminding me.
