I had some of those magnets (how do they work???) for a while, they were quite fun to mess around with and I got quite good at building strange little things with them to pass the time. You have to be careful to make sure they don't run into each other with high velocity as they start to fall...

I now have a goal for the day

Guide number one, successful orbital insertion. If the foundation is the most crucial part of a skyscraper, then the successful orbital insertion is the foundation of a successful Mun launch. Before you even think of leaving the merciless grasp of Kerbalian gravity, you should first become...

I think it may be handy if I write some basic guides here, I'll probably do some with pictures later but for now, wordage!

I approve of this topic

The simple answer is that I began to question my world. I started life being fairly fundamentalist Christian, Protestant sect. For many years I blindly followed the faith, almost every Sunday I went to church, I was dedicated to it to the degree that I no longer wanted to go to Sunday school or...

a) When I finally gave up religion entirely I was a practicing Buddhist. b) No, I had been engaged in finding my faith for awhile and never was quite able to settle on one; the idea of the universe being all that there was, no magic, no mysticism, that was a scary thought at first but I...

It is enjoyed, there is no limit

I dreamed I went in to space last night; the feeling was unlike any I could have ever imagined. In day dreams of space, I normally find myself transfixed by the launch, the idea of actually traveling there, but for once, in my head at least, I was there and could enjoy the destination. The...

That's whats in my head at least, annoying co-workers are the real noise coming into my ears...

The resolve of my fellow American's defense of these documents is quite admirable, but to emphasize that the documents should be the eternal guiding doctrine of the United States is a little like saying that those of the Christian faith should eternally follow every word and utterance of the old...

Laurens, I enjoyed the blog post. we will start with that. My question is simple: I understand the purpose of the post and the future installments to it, promoting skepticism is a very noble goal indeed and it is something all of us should aspire to; still, who is the intended audience for this...

As long as the world keeps turning, and we keep exploring the universe we will always have new arguements!

CommonEnlightenment, If I find myself with the ability to determine who goes you will be on my list

End of the world, hardly, end of complex life, likely, and if somehow we survive, its going to be an interesting millennium.

I have been asked by a member of this forum to comment on the following statement made by Bob Enyart about rapid stratification I am solely addressing this as it is in my area, please do not ask me to attempt any other non-geology claims as they are not my specialty and I would not like to...

Right, looking at my article, he hasn't yet published that full study yet, but the sedimentary nature had been infered by the oceanic elemental concentrations. There were also pictures that they had taken of crystalline lumps in the rock., when we see these lumps in the field in younger...

I have it on my home computer and I also had the distinct pleasure of attending one of his talks. Unfortunately I am at work and cannot access it. A cool part of the abstract is this part: "These features suggest that the rocks preserved their seawater-like compositions despite metamorphic...

First off, I would like to thank all the reasonable people for doing their best to contribute knowledge of geology and geological dating to this thread. Second off, if anybody needs geological information and stuff like that do not be afraid to PM me, etc. So here we go. The number 4.5...

That is arguably one of the best quotes I have ever heard, I have nothing compared to that.
