laughing, first i never thought this identity would win me any
popularity contests, so na i don't care. But the funnier thing is
that you just made an illogical appeal to the masses, which inherently
means that you do care what people think of you on usenet. Now that
is something you will have to get over because if you look to get ego
boosts from your posts, or you look to usenet to determine your status
in life, you are a very pathetic man (still laughing)..... So how
about expedition 16's experiments...

That's true enough, whereas I actually care about things that matter
to the greater good of humanity and of salvaging our badly failing
environment (perhaps the exact opposite of yourself).
BTW, I never laugh unless others like yourself are into proving how
dumbfounded past the point of no return you've gotten. Also, I've
noticed that Earth isn't flat, and Muslims didn't put one of their own
kind on a stick for a faith-based PR stunt.

Theater shows us that whether it be complicated ironic twists of fate,
or just simple slapstick, humor has, is and always will be part of
human nature, so you should try to laugh more often, maybe it will
make you more human. Now lets see even though part of the dark side
of human nature is comes out when religious antagonism shows its ugly
head (in attempts by some to divide and cause anger) i would rather
find commonalities with people or cultures, for example in science i
choose to focus on somebody like Abu Ali Mohammed Ibn al Hazen who was
an Arab scientist that contributed to the understanding of how the
human eye works.
Now with respect to my citation and excitation concerning the solar
experiment on the Columbus module, one of the reasons i am excited
about the experiment, is because it is directly related to studying
earths environment, so you are not on such high ground as you think,
nor am i what you think either. (and im still laughing)

External Facilities: SOLAR
Apart from contributing to solar and stellar physics, knowledge of the
interaction between the solar energy flux and Earth's atmosphere is of
great importance for atmospheric modeling,
atmospheric chemistry and climatology. SOLAR, will study the sun with
unprecedented
accuracy across most of its spectral range. This is currently
scheduled to last two years. It will
be located on the Columbus External Payload Facility zenith position
(i.e., pointing away
from the Earth).
The SOLAR payload consists of three instruments complementing each
other to allow
measurements of the solar spectral irradiance throughout virtually the
whole electromagnetic
spectrum from 17 nm to 100 nm in which99% of the solar energy is
emitted. The threecomplementary solar science instruments a
SOVIM (SOlar Variable & Irradiance Monitor), which covers near UV,
visible and thermal regions of the spectrum (200 nm - 100 ìm)
isdeveloped by PMOD/WRC (Davos, Switzerland) with one of the
instrument's radiometers provided by IRM (Brussels, Belgium).
SOLSPEC (SOLar SPECctral Irradiance measurements) covers the 180 nm
3,000 nm range. SOLSPEC is developed by CNRS (Verrièresle Buisson,
France) in partnership with IASB/BIRA (Belgium) and LSW
(Germany).
SOLACES (SOLar Auto Calibrating Extreme UV/UV Spectrophotometers)
measures theEUV/UV spectral regime. SOLACES is developed by IPM
(Freiburg, Germany).SOVIM and SOLSPEC are upgraded versions of
instruments that have already accomplished several space missions.
SOLACES is a newlydeveloped instrument."
Word stew or salad? or is it hypology?
I never said anything against terrestrial or LEO science as related to
benefiting Earth as being a bad thing. Most all terrestrial and LEO
obtained science is in one way or another good for the intellectual
soul as well as for salvaging our badly failing environment.
It's the extended space travels of us humans that's highly
questionable, as perhaps never paying its own way, much less
contributing to the better good or quality of life as we know it.
Because of every 19 months when Venus is so nearby is why I do not
consider the to/from trek of humans getting interactive with Venus as
being all that insurmountable or without a great potential of paying
off. Whereas most everything of humanly accomplishing Mars or further
is just plain iffy and at best spendy as hell.
