Hey Art -- that 60' video was pretty neat! A.E.N. looks GOOD in that Patriotic uniform!! Makes Him look younger! The clip also shows how far things have come since then. The rest of the world has gone way past where "MAD" used to be and now "MAD" seems to be rather "Normal&q...

No wonder i did not remember Alfred had a campaign manager, He was not around much. No wonder Alfred lost!!

Hey neufer -- your stamp picture of Nancy reminded me that about 45+ years ago, my sister put a likeness of your avatar that was stamp sized on an envelope and mailed it to herself. It went through, so she had an offical U.S. Goverment cancelation of your avatar. I forget if it was before or after H...

Re: Stardust@Home
The miniscule things that make up the physical Universe are the things that make up Energy.
"DUST" is a whole lot of 'dead' Energy.
But if collect it we must, just don't try in a gust -- or the testing equipment will only rust -- because of lack of that Darn Space Dust!

Re: What do you think about the Big Bang?
I think the Big Bang was really more like a really Big Whoosh. Inflation is close to understanding, when you have not yet discovered the cause. Yes, 4 different kinds of energies came from the event. So did 4 different kinds of Earths, of which WE are in the 3rd one. There are also other 4's and oth...

Reminds me of a "fault Zone" on Earth where two parts of the Earth come together and "push" at each other.

Re: UT: SpaceX Falcon 9 Successfully Launches, Reaches Orbit
It is rather neat that the Goverment is actually pushing private space things. The trouble is, that when they become profitable, they will tax the hell out of them and it will end up being just as expensive as when the Goverment handled it!
