JDG Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 I'll add my Off Topic reply to this Off Topic topic. I'm there with you Chris. If I could just figure out a way to hide on board the first manned flight.... I've had some nice views of the Red Planet this winter from up here.

Z3BigDaddy Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Just to put it back on topic... Hopefully they equipped it with a Thompson.... ya know that Osama is in a cave somewhere....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 On a Twilight Zone episode, astronauts used sten guns as self defense. I don't see why Thompsons shouldn't be standard equipment for NASA probes. I can see it now; the robot wheel gets stuck on a rock and a Thompson shoots it clear.

mp40 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Ya see SGT, they where going to equip the rover with a fa M1 Thompson for that very purpose, but the ATFE got in the way. Too much paperwork you know, intergalactic transfers can take time...Wow! imagine all of the states that the rocket had to pass over during it's flight all of the ATFE paperwork..So they settled on a Khar Thompson but..They had problems with it, so no go..

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Zero gravity might be just the thing to remedy the inherent jamming problems of a Kahr. Not to mention a product made by Moon would more at home on Mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp40 Posted January 4, 2004 Report Share Posted January 4, 2004 Yes, true, it might fix the feeding problems but Arthur, it just might "moon" us while it's up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Here are a couple of photos from the recent Mars landing! As I understand it, there is another Nasa mission scheduled to land in about 18 days! Regards, Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 O.K., here is the other one. No mooning now, guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mp40 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Now that's cool! it's too bad that we can't send people up there yet, as I would like to send Clinton up there (and his wife too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter63a Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Here is a map of the area of the landing (the large blue area known as Gusev Crater). The crater is the size of CT. http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif It is thought by NASA to be a possible dry lake bed!

full auto 45 Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 Come on I thought everybody was smarter than that! That's not Mars, it's the desert out there in Nevada by the Area 51 range. Same place they shot some of the moon landing video stuff at. Look real close and you may see a jet vapor trail in the sky. I'm printing up land certificates now to start selling this week. Hey be the first on your block to own a acre of mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter63a Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 Here is one more for Mulder to determine whether it is real, or just food coloring! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted January 6, 2004 Report Share Posted January 6, 2004 A NASA technician said that the signals seemed to be coming from only 900 miles away. The deep dark secret is that NASA's probe landed on a piece of sandpaper on the back lot of Universal Studios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter63a Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Rust, can you tell if it is rust, or is it just food coloring? http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/blink.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Anything orange colored has brought out the suspicion in me! http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/laugh.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
