NASA Spaceport Funding UP

Posted By Andreas Saldivar
I'm not sure why. Since Obama has just about shut down the US space program we're not launching much. Looking at the launch schedule I count 3 satellite launches at Cape Canaveral this year and none, so far, for next year.

What are your most unforgettable telescopic sights

Posted By Andreas Saldivar
I've seen a lot of amazing objects through the eyepiece. One that really stands out is M76 through a 25" in Mag 7 skies. There was so much extended nebulosity that wasn't really recognizable as m76.

In binoculars it's M31 through some 25x100s. That was simply stunning.

Surging Gas Prices

Posted By Andreas Saldivar
Rod, you've said this many times. I'd like to know how you do that. Oil is traded on every market in the world. You would have to get every single government on board with fixing the price.

The US could do things to cause the speculation to go the other way by increasing domestic production and, seemingly no brainers, like building the keystone pipeline. My personal opinion is that the current administration, while talking about a "comprehensive energy policy" is to beholden to the far left enviros to actually do anything.

Yeager & F104 Starfighter

Posted By Andreas Saldivar
Yeager is a cool guy. You can still see the X-1 he flew at the Smithsonian Air&Space museum. I go there often. I took this picture a few years ago. The X-1 and Spaceship don't really look to different.

Opposition Mars with ToUcam

Despite the seeing Steve, the shot out well. It has nice detail. I got one the other night that I'll post later today were the seeing was mediocre. I wish we'd get some good seeing again.
