I would love to take a look at Jupiter or Saturn with that refractor. What mount do you use with that beast?

At least you do astronomy Greg. I'm not to sure about some others here.

You know, if you were talking about my late brother you could call him any name in the book, he wouldn't care a bit. And he was 330lbs.

I weigh 165, same weight I was in high school. Don't know where you come off calling me fat, but call me anything you want. I couldn't care less about what you think of me. Your ilk has no bearing on my life, especially in this little backwater of an astronomy forum. Besides, your true colors come out in most every post you make.

Just because you're not sitting in a Gulag somewhere, for speaking out against your gov't....

No, they can be tested every day if they don't want the vaccine.
Just ask Geraldo.

That's awesome, Greg! That adjustable chair is a necessity, especially when at zenith.

Gravity's a Bitch

Posted By Jim Moscheck

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/satellite-debris-space-station-crew-take-shelter/

"U.S. officials say Russia destroyed a retired satellite in an anti-satellite weapon test, creating a cloud of debris that prompted the seven-member crew of the International Space Station to take shelter in their Crew Dragon and Soyuz spacecraft early Monday as a precaution."

"The test has so far generated over 1,500 pieces of trackable orbital debris and hundreds of thousands of pieces of smaller orbital debris that now threaten the interests of all nations."

It's in a polar orbit and 40 miles higher than the ISS that is in a west to east orbit, but they will intersect as the orbit deteriorate and separates  over time.

Who would have thunk the improbable events in the movie Gravity could ever possibly happen?

What's massive is the fact that Biden whipped Trump's ass by seven million votes...
Just wait until Biden attends all of the ground breaking ceremonies for bridges and highways all across the red states where the Trump supporting house representatives voted against them. Even they (the red state voters) know Trump talked about infrastructure for four years, had numerous infrastructure weeks with him blowing a horn on a truck and pretending to drive, but in the end got nothing done. Biden gots his infrastructure bill though in his first year. There are going to be a lot of good paying construction jobs created in the next year and those people vote.

Guess Why Thousands of Q/Trump Supporters Gather At Dealy Plaza/Grassy knoll

Posted By Jim Moscheck

I saw that story and was going to post about it here but, come on, Rod, there's no one on this forum who believes in QAnon. 

At least not too much. LOL.

Makes me laugh that they want or think JFK and/or JFK Jr. will come back from the dead (although these nuts don't think they're dead) to rescue this country and validate Trump. Talk about wackadoodles.

Our LEGAL system is becoming ultimately corrupt as Hell under Democrat Prosecutors

That was shown in court.

He lied about the size of the barrel on the gun and he got caught.

It doesn't get much worse than falsifying the charges and having to drop the charges.

So whatever YOUR prosecutor says, doesn't mean jack shit.  
That's funny, you caring about lies.

You've been a sucker for the lies of MSNBC for years now.  

And even when it was proven that there was no there there, you still believe their bullshit. tongue
Please show me where I said that. Please be specific.

Justice was just served.

Posted By Jim Moscheck

Well, my take is the jury got it right. The prosecution did do a piss poor job and I'll bet that prosecutor will be looking for a new job sometime soon.

I. too, hope that this won't embolden gun rights activists to attend democrat or leftist rallies hoping to intimidate the marchers. Nothing good can come of that.
