Pen Phill writted:

: Oh Dear! ...It seems I can't convert Km to miles!
: 1738 Km = 1079 miles NOT 695
: miles Oops! Go to the bottom of the class!

alternatively go to:

http://www.nasajobs.nasa.gov/work/index.htm

and look for the Mars mission parameter programming job vacancies.


Writted!.......

Hmmm- Not too many mathematician vacancies but then obviously mathematics

is
not my forté but I'm pretty good with a screwdriver so I shall have a look

at
vacancies under International spacestation! :-))


Obviously, mathematics was not their forte either. But for screwdrivers ---
they seem to already have a full complement of screwups.

What I want to know is which 2 presidents have 'bought' land on the
moon?


IIRC, Bill and Hillary were buying stars.

Hi all

I didn't think AOL would stoop so low as to actually put this con into

their
shopping area.

http://www.alt-gifts.com/?assoc=aol2&page=shop/aol_moon

Who is making money from this? Is it actually LEGAL?

By my calculation the visible surface of the moon based on a radius of

695
miles has an area of 3033397 square miles
With 640 acres to a square mile that makes 1941374080 acres
If this "company" sells all the visible face at £16 an acre they stand to

make
£3,061,985,280

Wow! Can I sell clouds?
