Oh Boy - it's NEW

Posted By Bill Madewell
Thankyou Herb for hearing our call. So for the guys who want too talk about Man Space Flight and Robotic missions, Herb has made it possible. For good or bad and depending on your personal idealology, I see man as an Adventurer. There has always been sceptics in the past concerning if the money or the risk was worth it, I say look at the benefits. We are approching 6.5 Billion people and running out of room and resorces. THis week we are seeing NASA and it's partners bring the best minds together too build a New outpost for Humanity...
My favorite part this week was the duct tape fix to the astronauts spacewalk.

OK guys, I look forward too those questions, maybe we can get Herb too chime in.

HELP-the chipmonks are killing me !

Posted By Bill Madewell
Hey guys, this past week was space week at a local Elementery School. I had close too 400 kids, split into two groups. The first group was K thru 2nd grade and the other group was 3rd to 5th grade. Myself and a friend had too do two 30 minute talks. cwy
The K thru 2nd talk was a crash and burn, and the 3rd thru 5th was much better performance.
I would rather be shot out of my 16 inch Meade Dob cannon, than go threw that again.
Does anybody have a way or information on how too do talks on these young people, for future reference. Are there books or websites or kind way too put me out of my missery ???
I like outreach with scouts or older groups and smaller groups.
The last point was that , we tried not too, but it seemed like we were talking over the heads of the teacher. 8O 8O 8O
That was very scary......

Thanks a Billion,
Bill

mount repair

Posted By Bill Madewell
Guys,
I am about to embark on an task to repair my old CG5 mount from Celestron. If I had it my way, I would stick a stick of dynomite under it and be threw with it 8) . But I don't have the moola two replace it sad . This mount holds a 6 inch refractor and accessories. The crappy grease if you want too call it that, has locked up the mount. I have had this scope for 7 years, and it got very little use.
Any ideas on how too fix this ???
Hope you guys can help.....

Money Problems......

Posted By Bill Madewell
Today I read that Nasa new project "ORION" , will be running late due the lack of money needed to stay on
the time scedule. And now Congress wants NASA to do more
on finding ASTEROIDS and Comets, But of course NO new money is added. >sad

I personally beleave NASA is straped for cash... sad cwy
I may not agree on every project that is done by Nasa,
but my question is , and I would like too have your honest responces, IS THERE ANY PROGRAM THAT YOU FEEL THAT NASA
SHOULD DROP FROM IT'S MISSION ?????

Thanks and CS,
Bill
