kslonaker 0 Posted April 1, 2007 Very cool, Lannie! Not sure what it is, but I like the placement in the frame, as well as lighting and color. Link to comment

Landrum Kelly 64 Posted April 2, 2007 Commander Jones, I can see that you are tumbling away from at us at about 500 m per second, making one rotation around the central axis about every 85 seconds, which should at least be bearable and will give you enough artificial gravity to bound along the walls and ceiling with ease. You can retreat to the center compartment for sleep and, uh, recreation in zero gravity. There's nothing we can do except watch you go and hope that you get the waste-to-food recycling apparatus operating again very quickly. The algae-based CO2 to O2 unit was tested yesterday and found functional. At least your rate of rotation is very low, and we hope that you can learn to adapt to it very quickly. Due to your premature separation in the middle of passenger boarding, the ratio of males to females is unfortunately less than 1:3. Let us know how things go in this brave new world. In a generation or two the ratio of men to women will approximate 1:1 once again, and you will have to reinstitute conventional morality. In the meantime, do your duty. We wish you the best. These things happen, you know. --Lannie Link to comment

ada-ipenburg 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Without the link it's a real puzzlepic, Lannie. It reminds me of Major Tom from David Bowie. Funny fabrication! Saludos mi amigo, Ada;) Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted April 10, 2007 Thanks, Ada. Ken, I'll let you know after I go back to classes tomorrow. Four days off is enough to spoil me for the rest of the term. --Lannie Link to comment
dennis jones 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Will do...Scotty has warp worm drive functioning..... New alien fuel doubles speed and mileage.....Should be home in time for supper... Over... Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted April 13, 2007 Just sitting here thinking about Pnina, and wondering if she still remembers Paris. . . . Hope you're doing fine, Dennis. A warp worm drive. . . just what I need on my Celestron. --Lannie Link to comment
Landrum Kelly 64 Posted April 13, 2007 Yep, that's us, alright. You DO remember. [sigh] I remember so much, Pnina. I set up your tripod and you set the self-timer before the pose. I remember that the lens was a 50mm f/1.4 set at aperture f/8, the ISO (then ASA) was 100, and, if can remember the shutter speed, I will die a happy man. --Lannie Link to comment
