No one is asking you to "behave negatively." We're asking you to not
encourage a very unfortunate man who is clearly mentally ill, and is
not getting treatment, to continue posting, and to just ignore him, as
most here have for years. We don't want to read the output of
whatever his ongoing problem is, and have correspondingly killfiled
him. When you reply to him, you are feeding a troll, and our only
recourse is to killfile you as well, if we don't want to see his
verbal diarrhea.

what's the mip thing they are going to be dropping from 100 miles above
about? wouldn't it get all smashed up?
they can't use a parachute, can they?

It's just an impactor with a few essential instruments for extracting
science data from their 25 minute fall from the sky, so to speak.
However, if they get lucky and find a targeted soft spot, there's a
slim chance that something of their impactor could survive. As far as
we know, there is no retro-thrust prior to impact, so it's going to
hit pretty damn hard. (I bet it sinks out of sight, unless it hits
bedrock and vaporises)

ISRO has a couple of good web page links telling us what they hope to
accomplish.

In other words, you're saying it's out of focus. Sure, why the hell

Sigh
Get your digital camera.
Set focus to infinity.
Take a photo of the moon.
Crop to include just the Moon.
Resize the crop so the moon diameter is about 700 pixels.

Learn the difference between 'focus' and 'resolution'

I'd use PhotoZoom, or something like that, but why bother to PhotoShop
anything, especially when a give-away cell phone camera and a Walmart
telescope can take as good if not better picture from Earth.

You're saying their TMC doesn't have a telephoto lens or enough
pixels?

Haven't they been extremely nearby Selene and taking pictures like
crazy?

Of course it bloody doesn't - if it was designed for use at 311,200km it
would be useless at 100km and (as you have seen) vice versa.

...How about you learning NOT to feed ****ing trolls like Brad Guth?


Would you like me to show you how to ignore a thread? It's quite easily
done.

I'll miss you. Which is precisely why i don't killfile
you *or* Brad. Don't wanna miss anything just
because i was afraid to use my mouse to click
"Mark as Unread".

Let me know how life is in the slow lane! And don't
let the door hitcha in the ass on your way out!

...The sheer irony is that Rand replied with more than two sentences,
and it probably had about as much effect as my initial attempt to get
this guy to stop feeding Guthball his troll treats.

Interesting how OM and Rand Simberg need to topic/author stalk and
killfile so much. They also have to use clipping services that only
feed NASA approved context, as everything else gets blocked or
rejected. We don't necessarily understand because it's a genetic
Zionist/Nazi thing, similar to Muslims having WMD.
