I working in the gold mining industry and handle this kind of explosives daily. I may add that it is a very powerful explosive type. In some degrees it is more powerful than the gel type we also use. We switch over to the gel type, because the fertilizer type we called Anfex, cause a lot of...

It is just horrible. I followed the events on CNN,Sky News And BBC as they unfold. I hope I am wrong, but that red stains on the pavement; are they blood? My thoughts go out to the families and friends involved in this tragedy.

What is the change that a comet can be an visitor from a nearby star like Alpha Centaurus? The Oort cloud stretch about a light year or more from the sun, and so maybe that of other nearby star's.

Will the placements of the engine pods on the wing not affected lift performance?

It just look like modern version of the Space Shuttle....sleeker, meaner and beautiful:thumbup:.

My PC run Space Engine very well. It's a Core I5 3470.(Ivy Bridge) nVidia 660 GTX 2 GB ram. 8 GB ram. My older PC, which was a Core 2 Duo E4400, with 2 GB of ram and a Gforce 9600 GT, struggle a lot with Space Engine.

The panorama vista is nothing but spectacular. It really give me a nice perspective of the Martian terrain. That vista is so eerie familiar to Terran terrain, it make my hair rise at the back of my neck. It is very easy to forget the fact that the atmosphere is so thin... The close up photos is...

A very good question. Look at this links: Very interesting idea from you.

You are doing a great job, Mark. Are these MDRM landers you worked on different from what is available at OH?

In reality that crater which Neil Armstrong flew over was much smaller. I think it measured about 100 meters from rim to rim.

Why do I think of Arthur C. Clarke now? Rama any one?;) Just joking.........

I hope this link work....I am not good with pasting links.:) Just make sure you updated to the most recent Java update. http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=C%2F2013%20A1;orb=1;cov=0;log=0;cad=1#orb But I may be wrong. It is a 2 dimensional animation. Maybe the time it passes Venus and...

Thanks Gary, I never thought about that fact.

I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 for 4 months now and never regret buying one. The screen is huge, have a good battery life and is powerful. The voice calls is crystal clear and maybe sometimes too loud on full volume. The GPS is really impressive and very fast. From the moment I switch the GPS on to...

I did some research on this comet. It looks like Venus and Mercury are also in for a close flyby by this comet as it hurtled inwards towards the Sun. Especially the Mercury flyby is a close encounter. What bothered me the most is that comet is discovered so late. It was discovered in January...

Can this help to extend the battery life if they choose to use a lower power setting when charging the battery? And is there a difference in charging power between USB and DC power charging?

Thanks Galactic Penguin SST, the link you provided have all the info I needed.

Maybe it is just coincidence. But the real reason so many space objects are discovered is the fact that the observations get so much better. Maybe in the past there was also a lot of space objects and comets that was not detected, but had close encounters with planets like Mars, Earth or even...

I have this question bothered me for some time now. It is regarding the charging of my Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone. Every time I plugged in the USB connector to my PC to transfer files, it also charging my phone's battery. Must I left it connected to the USB port until charging is completed, or...

IMHO Mars will never be able to retain a atmosphere ever again. It is to small and it's gravity is to weak. It looks like Mars lost it's magnetic field a long time ago, making it venerable to the Sun constantly bombarding it with radiation, and slowly erode it's atmosphere into space. But I...
