..were reportedly Hugo Chavez' last words. I wonder how many of his victims said the same thing to his henchmen?

A modern Jeep would ride much better, but that's really cool for a two wheel drive, although the little driver was getting buffeted. He also got really lucky going down that first hill/embankment. 8O

Putin plays politics with the ISS

Posted By Jim Moscheck
Well, if anyone is interested here is a good in depth piece from PBS about SpaceX, private commercial flights to LEO, and covers the cancellation of the Constellation Program in 2010 by Obama. It was GWB's manned space policy but like most of Bush's "projects" it was underfunded and to complicated to pull off.

Poll for Smaller Dob Owners

Posted By Jim Moscheck
Hi Mark,

I had a 10" dob and now have a 14.5" f4.3. I would have a sore back without an observing chair and can see much more when I'm relaxed as opposed to bending over to get to a lower altitude object. I built my dob to be able to stand when at about 75º to 90º but I sit in my homemade Catsperch clone for the rest of sky. I tend to study an object for a while and after about 30 seconds or so of bending over to see into the eyepiece I tend to start thinking more about my balance and my back and less studying the object. Being relaxed at the eyepiece is almost as good as having more aperture, at least IMHO.

Cheers,

Iraq: Civil War: Sunni vs Shiite

Posted By Jim Moscheck
What a mess and those that deny the reasons for it happening haven't a clue. The war in Iraq is the biggest mistake an american president has EVER make. It makes me sick we had to loose 4000+ men plus the money to support war so the factions can now have their civil war. The only time a righty ever wants to spend money is for war.

So, the warmonger's want us to strike ISIS to support the Shite government we supported in Iraq? Don't they know this will only make Iran stronger and more influential in the region which is exactly what the Iraq war started? I thought these guys hated Iran. :S

BTW- Obama was one of the very few who spoke out against going to war with Iraq. Biden actually said maybe we should divide Iraq into three countries. Both times they were ridiculed by the right. Seems they were both, well, right on these issues. :S

Rod, I give you points for trying. but this crowd will spin it into a negative or it'll fall on deaf ears.

Don't you understand, this country is falling apart. Thanks Obama.
