Cheryl, And don't forget "Teflon(R)", that wonderful non-stick coating for frying pans, that comes off whenever my wife fries an egg. A masterful scientific material that the astronots rely upon to save their lives. I will have a look at the movies you recommend. Neville.

Instead, NASA's web guy said that Voyager was "too far away" and the astronauts had "more important" things to do than to observe the earth turning, and that they didn't have time or means to photoshoot such a thing. (i.e. they were too busy photoshooting planting the flag, bouncing around, all that stuff). He said there was no need to proove anything because we all knew it was true and so there wasn't any need to prove anything. I responded back to him that Copernicus mathematical forumlas were nice math but until we could observe them with our own two eyes, they were still just a theory, that we'd been waiting 400 years for NASA to invent spaceships so we could go out there and see for ourselves. I told him that I was disgusted that after 40 years and how many trillions of dollars and spent lives burned up in the shuttles and Apollo modules, etcetera, that they hadn't bothered to document this most basic of facts. Furthermore, I told him, Bill Arnett the Nine Planets Guy, that they oughtn't to be pointing their ships to the stars looking for "Cosmic roots" (ie. Guldin's Origins Program) until they first figured out what was going on right here. I told him that so far the only thing they'd accomplished was to invent Tang and the temperapedic mattress. BTW, did you look at this website, seen the movies they have of the moon going around the earth at the same time the earth is going around the sun? And the one of how the earth would look if we were standing on the moon? These are animated and you've just got to see them. http://www.mesquiteisd.org/planet/movies.html Cheryl --------------------------------- ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun!
