Hi David, Listees, friends, WOW! OK, I can't resist :-) The 8-ball was impressive in the indochinite, now the #1-ball in LDG, and the irons are striped, and with this 17th ball you've got over a complete whole billiards set. I think it is time to invite over the Dutchess of Doom for a game; I'

Troilite was my first thought as well. Mike's example is more believable given the raised rim. But the owner of the meteorite in question is a long time collector and should have the experience to make the call. Both examples appear to lack detail within the depression to determine for certain

The piton gun is a combination of two existing devices: the harpoon gun and the nautical line- throwing gun. The harpoon gun was invented in 1870. Here's a picture (whale lovers, cover your eyes): http://www.arcticwebsite.com/WhaleHarpGun.html The device would need to be miniaturized for use on an

Thank you for all your kind information. Seems that the media I was reading wrote in a very confusing manner... and implied that the actual super nova happened 140 years ago... and was at or near the center of the galaxy. As opposed to the way it actually is... Super Nova happens 33,000

Hi I am sure I saw some reference on the list about these Nantan thinn sections that appear on Fleabay. Having just got a polarizing scope I just realised that they can either be ruut t/s or completely opaque as Fe and sulphides are opaque to the standard 30 micron thickness, and would be a bit

Hi all - NASA is in a curious disconnect. The Congress told NASA to find everything down to 140 m, and the NASA Administrator told them he did not want to. Normally, he'd have been fired already, but given the general situation, it has not happened - yet. In NASA science, comets don't hit, which

Firing a piton doesn't need to push YOU in the opposite direction, it just has to push SOMETHING. Momentum needs to be conserved, and there are many tools made that manage that without transferring momentum to the operator. Some guns, for example, especially some military ones. But the master in

Hi Sterling: Do not mean to rock your boat, but how do you fire the piton? "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" (read that somewhere). Firing the piton would send you off into space, even if you were in "orbit" around the object. Larry On Fri, May 16, 2008 12:57 am, Sterlin
