hi Brent & Prey

i'm glad you enjoyed it. i ran into it while reading about the MIR. thought people might get a kick out of it.

there are a lot of kids who would enjoy it as well i think.

take care minir

Do you think we could track incoming ICBM's?

Humboldt · Post by **Humboldt** » Sat Mar 24, 2001 2:10 pm

Damn cool, wait until LochNar sees this.

He does this stuff for a living and is probably controlling some of those satellites.

Especially the ones that are all wobbly and spinning out of control.

Hi Blitz, Heaven_No, Humboldt,Banshee, John & striderf1

LOL!

yep, really cool minir. You're right, it's

kinda scary how many satellites are up

there. And that site only shows the ones

our government wants us to see!

That's a great site, how did you come across

it?

minir · Post by **minir** » Sat Mar 24, 2001 11:54 pm

Hi Loch-Nar

i was surfing as is my want and going nowhere in particular, also a pattern of mine, i came across an article on the MIR coming down and gave it a read.

it took me to two or 3 other spots and then i saw an article and i cannot for the life of me remember where, a respondent to a post pointed out this site and that's how i got there.

not very original i'm afraid, but the end justifies the means i guess. upon looking at it i thought other's might enjoy it as well.

with the MIR being in the new's, it was perfect timing. i thought some parent's might also like it for their kid's. i sent it out to several as well as my grandkids. it would be a neat school project i thought.

i was unaware you where involved in this medium, till Humboldt suggested you would be excited by it. nice line of work i would think. interesting to say the least.

well take care

minir

Dude!!!!!
This site is wicked!
I love Astronomy!
Thx man!

Loch-nar · Post by **Loch-nar** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 12:27 am

Prey- but it's the truth! i tell you!!!

minir- yeah, it's pretty interesting, don't

ask me how i wound up doing this stuff. My

major in college was Environmental

Technology, but i spent most my time

drinking and playing video games at my good

buddy Humboldt's house...

Funny how you wind up in places you never

thought you'd be....Life is strange that

way...

Wicked cool, Larry!
Great find... Now I can track all the space junk in the sky!!

shant,

Yeah, its pretty nice. I used it to track the ISS102 space station, over some guys house, and he actually took a digital pic of it at the time. Cool program. I just wish it had an EXE counterpart so I could run it as either a screensaver, or it's own program without being at the NASA site.

I deny that completely.

Hi Loch-nar

must be nice dealing in something everchanging & of such hi tech.

good for you. well now i think i;ll sleep better knowing i know people involved in

satellites and no longer have to fear them plummeting to earth as enormous out of control fiery death stars from above.

exactly how much drinking was involved with you and Humboldt ?

take care

Dude, thanks for the link!

SeedOfChaos · Post by **SeedOfChaos** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 8:22 am

Way cool, hehehehe, indeed, a lot of junk going around above us, however, if they showed all the particles of junk orbiting the earth, there would be a LOT more dots

blebs · Post by **blebs** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 8:23 am

Has anyone stopped to count how many you can track? I started counting them and stopped at 250 and I wasn't even half way through the list! That is SCARY!

Humboldt, your busted buddy. Back in the old days you had a party life?

minir · Post by **minir** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 6:04 pm

Hi Guy's

well it was simply a lucky find on my part, however i am pleased it has gotten so many people excited about it.

thanks for all the responses

regards minir

I deny everything.

You can't prove a thing.

I know absolutely nothing about anyone passing out in my bathroom, never saw any drunken fools spill my canoe trying to ride waves into the Pacific, have never touched vodka or beer...

and I've NEVER heard LochNar slurring like a half-tongued Irishman!

Loch-nar · Post by **Loch-nar** » Sun Mar 25, 2001 7:05 pm

Wassat? I nefer slurreded in my life, hic...

exactly how much drinking was involved with you and Humboldt?

hi minir-

you ever see that movie 'Strange Brew"?

Well it was something along those lines,

except we had longer hair; and lots more

half-naked women running

around.....squealing.

Your new sig has been out for a few days now LochNar. Are you hosting it yourself or is it linked to the original page you "found" it?

minir · Post by **minir** » Fri Jun 01, 2001 3:11 am

Hi Guy's

I thought i was seeing things as i did not recall making the post lately. i thought someone had my password

i read it and then remembered. whoever dug it up shocked me. hahaha

well your all welcome, it was just a find i made one day while surfing and thought it might be of interest to some.

heck it got a lot of people excited, so that was very pleasing to me, that people were enjoying something so much.

Take care
