Members Monkey Mouse Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Even at 36,000mph, it will take many years for it to reach Pluto - its so darn far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimOBrien Posted January 20, 2006 Members Share Posted January 20, 2006 Getting to the moon in 9 hours is no big deal---- It's landing softly at the end of the trip without becoming a big greasy smear in the bottom of a crater that's the tricky bit!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 2manband Posted January 30, 2006 Members Share Posted January 30, 2006 Chuck Norris once set up a race between that rocket and his roundhouse kick. The race went well for the first .0001 seconds until Chuck's kick exceeded the speed of light and caused a huge tear in the time/space continuum. The rocket could not be reached for comment, but was probably crying like a beotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bbach Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 When I was young and I and my friends were on something, we made up a whole new way of measuring the speed of travel. I can't remember it all but I do know that that rocket is going at least 50 snaps a handfull, maybe faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brittanylips Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Just curious - why are so many musicians interested in space?

I think it's part of the artistic tempermant in general. Not that artistic types always have their fact straight, or their conclusions free from confusion, or their philosophies free from nonsense. But folks who find things like space exploration, chaos theory, quantum superpositions, string theory, etc. as inspiring to the imagination, well, I think they have at least some part of what it takes to be an artist - imagination and sensitivity. nat whilk ii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you measure distance by snaps, you can keep time to your music simultaneously. Think Tom Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, yesterday there was an article in the New York Times "A Genius Finds Inspiration in the Music of Another" about how Einstein was inspired by Mozart. -Peace, Love, and Brittanylips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
