Got Moon?
on: September 11, 2002, 09:30:10 am
It's mine, I tell you!

Out of interest, anybody here read Earth to the Moon (the Jules Verne one, before anybody goes all Tom Hanks on me).

Paul Chodas of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California says it must have just arrived or it would have been easily detected long ago.


This is what I think as well, or it may well be a piece of trash. :D

It's the Asgard I tells ya. Just you wait. A few days from now there'll be a huge fireball in the sky and the existence of a huge trans-stellar transportation device will be announced by the US millitary.


I hope to God it's a huge chunk of Uranium 235 with a thin outer-layer of carbon-boron blends.

Experts say it may have only just arrived.


Yo, I'm, like, the second moon. Mind if i hang around for a while?

Quote
It could be a passing chunk of rock captured by the Earth's gravity, or it could be a discarded rocket casing coming back to our region of space.


Look out!!! A giant asteroid is headed right towards earth!!! no.... wait... it's just fly on my telescope.

Man, this is one of the funniest articles I've ever read. I knew about that second moon thing though, my dad told me that a couple of years ago. Found it hard to believe though.

Actually i tend to beleive what the Egyptians wrote.  They saw a star brightenening in the sky, the peiests went nuts because it had to be one of the gods coming, and he didn't look at all happy.  Then as the star drew brighter, earthquakes and floods.  The priests really freaked.  Then it settled into orbit.  I give you our moon.  This is probably the single greatest account of our moon being a rogue that got caught in the earth's gravitational pull.  It's all there, in Heiroglyphics.  

Ever wonder if it's in a slowly decaying orbit?  And no one has bothered to tell us?
You can't take the sky from me.  Can't take that from me.

How large are the 2nd and 3rd moons?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It's not decaying. It gets 2cm further away every year.

Cruithne is not really a moon as it does not actually physically orbit the Earth but rather (in loose terms) tags along the Earth's orbit. The whole spiraling horse-shoe orbit concept is REALLY weird and I can't really honestly say I understand it. Eventually though in a few thousand years it's supposedly gonna shoot out of this orbit.

ANYWAY... Cruithne is approximately 5km (3.125mi) in diameter, and this so-called 3rd moon is so small that it can be the size of an abandoned rocket causing this controversy.

Oh and for reference: Cruithne is pronounced "croo-een-ya"

I almost agree with Styx. There is a slim possiblity that this is an alien space ship. Oh boy! *Get's ready to kick some alien butt!* Rock and roll baby! :D

Yes, I've heard about those. Some kind of humourous doo-hickey. Not the kind of thing we Ashcroftians go for.
