OMG that is so rad! I'd always wished for a huge telescope to see the landing sites on the moon. If we do find life on Mars, we may expect a ticket for littering! (excuse me, is that your skycrane parked in the handicapped crater??..sign this...)

97% of the time, I'm right-the other 5% doesn't bother me.
There comes a point in your life that looks just like all the other points you didn't notice either.
If I had a nickel for every dollar I spent on rockets, I'd have more rockets.
You may have had more fun in your life than me, but the chaos was undeniable.
Obsessed with Rocketry
Pretty neat that they got those pics. I can't even find my keys and they are in the same room.

My rockets usually fly naked. If they survive, they earn their paint.
Come fly with ROSCO or ICBM in Orangeburg SC => http://rocketrysouthcarolina.com

Many rockets, no time.
We tried up here with a 36" F4 Newtonian. Couldn't do it (altho' we could make out the tracks of the Lunar Rover's if the sun was at the right angle).Originally Posted by fyrwrxz
