Here too, whole day cloudy and raining, now pretty much 99% clear skies, wow...

#228 Re: Human missions » Where Can I Get 10 or 20 copies of "The Case For Mars"? » 2007-02-19 07:06:34

Brownback at least already has a copy. Zubrin gave him one during those hearings in 2003...

Always funny to see people mentioning 911 and Iraq in one breath. Again and again.

One month only into the mission, operators became aware of some problems and it's worsening sad

This is not GRUNT, it's an European mission  :?

#232 Re: Not So Free Chat » Mars Frontier Novel - New web location » 2007-02-12 13:22:03

Yay and double yay big_smile


Great to see you're writing again, RobS!  Too bad I probably don't have time to read it rightaway sad

How's the other novel going? I liked that one too.

#235 Re: Life support systems » Microwave ovens for clothes washing » 2007-01-27 08:11:57

@C.M.:

I guess it was actually the microwave that started fizzing, since dry sponges in a microwave=empty microwave, and if you ever tried to run an empty microwave at full power, you know it sparkles pretty impressively, probably the sparks ignited/burned the sponges....

#237 Re: Pictures of Mars » Real videos of Mars » 2007-01-25 02:13:39

I was hoping to keep this topic for real video as there is so little.

There are plenty of movies generated with Midnight Mars Browser (The Spirit and Opportunity image browsing, stitching, movie... program)

See here for a nice set: (all Quicktime)

These are similar to your initial link, but much better quality...


Have fun. And make sure to go to the MMB mainpage (link at the bottom) and have a look at MarsCat's pictures too!

#238 Re: Life support systems » Microwave ovens for clothes washing » 2007-01-25 02:04:04

But it's only effective after one whole minute on its highest setting if you want it sterilised, Dicktice. (and you then would have to make sure it isn't too dry or you get fireworks)

This could be interesting on ISS, for the swabs (or whatchacallit) they use to clean the interior surfaces that get damp due to condensation. might save them a couple of kilogrammes a year in cleaning rags... reuse instead of always throwing stuff away...

#239 Re: Not So Free Chat » Need a Wiki » 2007-01-22 12:28:10

wikipedia itself has a section of how to set one up...

and there are lots of tutorials on the net, just google 'setting up a wiki,' for instance gives you this http://www.lifehacker.com/software/feat … 126052.php

#240 Re: Unmanned probes » Gaia - ESA billion star survey satellite » 2007-01-21 06:06:37

businessweekly says: subscription required sad

#241 Re: Human missions » Fly to Mars » 2007-01-16 13:13:24

Gawd, this topic is soooo going to be relocated to 'intelligent alien life' if you keep going at it.

#242 Re: Not So Free Chat » U.S. air strikes in Somalia » 2007-01-13 07:38:36

monkey monkey monkey.

I always knew, somewhere deep down inside, that the political discussions here were just monkeys throwing poo at eachother.


And no, I'm not moderating this section, you can effing sort it out yourselves, I consider free chat being too much of a diversion form New Mars' errrr... core business  lol to bother. At all.

#243 Re: Unmanned probes » Mars Global Surveyor Not Responding » 2007-01-09 13:17:22

Ouch.

Pity the programmer(s) responsible

#244 Re: Science, Technology, and Astronomy » NASA wants YOU (Lunar meteor strike study) » 2007-01-06 02:34:39

#246 Re: Human missions » Private Companies » 2007-01-05 02:19:46

Actual hardware? Not that I know of.

MarsDrive consortium might be a place to look for such things, maybe maybe
