Fifty years ago we were spacemen.

All we have done over the years is f@*ked up SPACE with our junk.

I suppose I should wish you Happy Birthday as well, even though I've always considered them like making another mark on the dungeon wall.

When you look at the price of junk, it might be worth going after.

Do you reckon they'd ask any questions if I were to show up with the space station down at the salvage yard?

On that very topic, the Swiss are coming to the rescue with a space janitor cleaner satellite.

I was thinking of you when I went to a high toned liquor store today. Got some Woodford Reserve - Distiller's Select, now I've got to go wash a glass out.
Wait, I've got an old coffee cup sitting right here....hmmm, marginally better than Tres Generacions. Both good sippin' spirits and this Kentucky stuff is cheaper. L'chaim to ya!

Here's a fantastic site for viewing space junk flying by, if you're into that sort of thing. I am but then I'm a card carrying member of the Space Cadets.

You'll have to specify your location first (Lat/Long)to get any predictions.

Seriously cool shit.

There is a -8 magnitude iridium flare tomorrow night 15km from my home at 7:42 PM. I am tempted.

Just wait'll you catch the ISS at -3.4 mag flyin' over, it looks like a 747 with they're landing lights ablaze! Chris Peat has been operating this website for several years. It's got a pulldown list of all the junk orbiting up there, even some predictions for the X37b. Enjoy!

We're afraid of Iran?

Perhaps if we spent more on space instead of early retirement for government employees we'd have money to do both.

But people are short sighted.

Bob, that's a GREAT site!
