Just launching the battery pack alone nowadays would near enough break Nasa. The Lunar module looked like somthing I'd come up with if I was let loose in B&Q with a few grand and too much spare time. Me hole it went anywhere.
an absolute maximum altitude of 123,524 ft, or 37,650 m, and set a time to height record of 35,000 m in 4 minutes, 11.78 seconds

In May 1996, a UFO apparently went down near Boyle, Eire (Ireland). One night during that month many witnessed an unusual object glide down towards the Curlieu Mountains north of Boyle. It appeared to be an aerial craft coming into land, but had misjudged its approach, clipping the tops of trees and landing in a lake. Several occupants were said to have been taken into custody by a retrieval team and much military activity (including American soldiers) continued in the area for a six-month period following the incident. Civilians were prevented from going near the scene and the local police were instructed to keep their noses out of it and their mouths shut.

Hell every time they fire up a geostationary satellite they go through it and they're packed full of really sensitive electronics. If the belt was that highly charged they'd be fried too. The Apollo craft went through the belts very quickly which limited exposure. Plus while they were in the command module they craft was going "backwards" with the engines/fuel acting as a shield against radiation The Apollo guys may have suffered some long term effects of wandering about on the moon. They had a higher percentage of cataracts than normal. I think moon landing tinfoil hattists are a bit sad. I don't mean that in a nasty way, I mean it's sad they don't believe we did it, because they can't comprehend how we could do it. We used to be able to fly supersonically in three hours guzzling champagne to New York on a daily basis too.

Coins and cash are passed from person to person and are pretty disgusting if you think about it. Someone with the flu, blowing their nose and putting the tissue in their pocket where their coins are, then you are handed that same change in a shop and its in your pocket next to your phone etc. A cashless society would enormously increase the power of the state. Every transaction would be traceable. The black economy would all but disappear, leading to a huge rise in tax revenue for governments.

Mine relates to the single God Save The Queen by the Sex Pistols which peaked in the British music charts at number two, week ending 11 June 1977 - the height of the Queen's Silver Jubilee celebrations. That same week, GSTQ was number one in the NME charts. Legend has it that GSTQ sold the most records that week but that Rod Stewart (I Don't Want To Talk About It / The First Cut Is The Deepest) remained at number one to avoid public embarrassment, thus denying the Pistols one of the great and most infamous chart acievements. :mad: I wonder what Jim Corr would make of that?
