Japanese Moon probe to impact tomorrow
The LRO set to launch soon will be a LONG-TERM mission. Slelene COULD
have been one using ion engines and a more proper orbit, or maybe a few million more yen$. To intentionally build our robots to fail is a re-hashing and re-manufacturing 'myth' that we can't build ANYTHING to last longer than 6 months. I reject that outright. Our engineers need to think and use long lasting material that stands the rigors of space, and we MUST begin my SHARING what DARPA knows with Academic Scientists. Otherwise we WILL be screwed when we cross the plane of the Milky Way Galaxy in 3 years. Earth will look like Mars. Bah...even the Soviets won't OPENLY at east put a Lunar Orbiter up, I quess we should be lucky that NASA is putting one up AFTER the X-37B test flight. Bob... http://www.mycommonsensepolitics.net |

The whole argument style is _very_ similar. BTW, although far crazier than rhw007, Brad Guth - the very platinum meter bar of posting craziness, kept somewhere in Geneva in a nitrogen-filled padded vault - also _spells_ a lot better than rhw007.

... imagine if they had just left it to detoriate and crash into the apollo 11 landimg site Given the odds, I expect they'd all go out and buy lottery tickets the next day. A) the odds of hitting a particular spot on a smooth sphere of that size is EXTREMELY small. B) Now, figure the odds of impacting the plain of Mare Tranquillitatis and NOT hitting a peak on the way is even smaller. -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. |

If there were a landing sire, as such there should have be a number of bright and very shiny items that would have made it easy for the Apollo mission to have recorded a very bright 10 meter pixel that marked the exact spot, or as of the last 4 months at 50 km would have made that a 5 meter pixel. ~ BG |
