Mars

Pretty cool!

What's that seam down the middle?

/me haxes to make a Mars texture

hmm....looks like....Arizona.... :heee:

very nice TB....im sure glad NASA is back in action....ah, i long for the days of the moon landings.....great days those were.... :wink:

Doc brass... :dodgy:

Go ahead Cass. if you go to the NASA web site you can get really high resolution .tiff images.

I think all of the pictures were taken in sequence and then pieced together which might explain the line...

/edit good grief Doc! you remember the moon landings? that makes you as old as my parents!

yeah, i aint no "spring chicken" bud.... prolly older actually...

those days were some of the fondest of my life....my dad and i were really at our closest back then, as we both had the space fascination....

Doc B.... :beerchug:

wow, mars is made of s**tty cgi?! :eek:

World hunger, terrorists, and gun-ridden citizens all over the globe...And were looking at other planets that dont mean a damn to anymore atm .

just watched a couple nasa vids...man, these boys are on it... sweet stuff no doubt....wow!

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

I could care less about world hunger. Mars is cool! besides, if you want to look at humanities problems long-term, I think the fact that the sun will engulf our planet in five billion years a much more important issue, heck, we may not even have that long, as the solar output will steadily increase untill that point is reached, reducing our nice wet planet to a bone-dry rock within the next 1 billion years.

even I'm not sure whether this is sarcasam or not.

Is it just me or is that picture on par with goatse?

I know you're pretty wacky and all sometimes, but... how does Mars compare to a diste... er...

Looks ehm ... mappable ?

uhhh

...this mars pic took 4ever to load (yes, I'm on 56k )...

Is it real or what?

This pretty much confirms my assumptions that Mars is, in fact, ridiculously boring.

No it's not!! Look!! it's a dinosaur in the rocks!!!!

lmao, Doc, how much time you spent looking at that picture?

lol too long :eek:

Who wants to make a mars map with me? It'll be the best ever, actually I'll probably make a mod out of it. How does MarsMod sound? There'll have to be crates everywhere though. I don't run VIS but if I did then the crates would reduce lag!

And Lep, you sure you want the answer to that? :wink:

If we can make dust storms from layers of huge sprites, then count me in.

Yes it is entierly real. go to www.nasa.gov to find out more.

it might indeed make an interesting mod A_S. you'd have to set the gravity to 1/3 of normal and include periodic dust storms that completly obliterate your vision.

lol docrock

I've planned ahead. There will be lead boots (heavy) to keep you from falling off (lolz). And dust visors, which can be fashionable accessories and also visor dust maybe?

I've seen like two other posts where you say the exact same thing. (lol)

...and a female model...or a blow up doll in a spacesuit....it'll get cold and lonely up there dodging boulders and dust storm sprites.... :heee:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

we had a small lander that piggy-backed a ride. it hasn't been heard from. :sad:

btw Doc, i remember the landings too ,)

aaahhhh....yes.....i forgot that one....dont ya hate when that happens??...

Doc B..... :dodgy:

its tuff being an old fart isnt it fishman?...

i'm quite glad i had my youth (well, most of it :razz: )in a different era, tbh.

And here we are getting slated for taking an anti-American corner :razz:

I can't wait til China lands on the moon and shows there was never any NASA craft there :razz:

I with ya Gwil, I saw that documentry too, and it was so clear that America didn't land on the moon. For one thing the evidance is overwhelimg, and anyway they only did it so that the Russians wouldn't get there first. On a lighter note, does anyone remeber that Simpsons episode where Lisa and classmates are watching a projector film thing and the commentator say "The moon belongs to America" thats just seemed to encaptulate the American attitude towards the moon landing at the time.

And I bet that Spirit landed on Beagle 2 and crushed it!!!

im detecting alot of sarcasm in the animosity; im hoping my bulls**t detector isnt defective...if it is defective today, then i am truly surprised at the lot of you.....you especially gwilliam....i really thought you had a better grip than that bud... :razz:

Doc Brass... :dodgy:

Mine was slightly tongue in cheek Brass, although I don't believe the moon landings were real - can't be arsed to debate/dont want to debate that point anyhow, it's been done before :razz:

I thought Beagle was a european project as well, led by the brits? either way, we should think about spending our money on education and crime policy, not space exploration... :rolleyes:

Yea I've always heard the moon landings were filmed in some hangar somewhere in America hence the different light angles etc. But I never actually saw that documentary...

Yeah, there was a rumour Stanley Kubrick was hired to film the whole thing ...

I don't believe it ... scientists have been able to take pictures of the American Flag planted on the moon, using giant telescopes, I think.

i knew it was tongue in cheek bud...truly. and i really dont want to debate something like that, especially with someone i truly respect...but i must admit i am surprised that you think it was all a hoax....think of the time frame when it first was raised as an issue...Watergate was in full swing, the corruption of the then US administration, which is well documented btw... ...Vietnam tearing this country apart, all the things in the world that wre dear to me were being turned on their collective ears....and the space landings were the one thing that brought this country together, if just for a little while....a little ray of sunshine in an otherwise spectacularly f**ked up time period.....if it turns out someday that you are right and it was a vast conspiracy, then sir, i will apologize to you profusely, and fly anywhere in the world to buy you a beer, and kiss yer spotty fat ass... :wink: damn i hope yer wrong....yuk!

as for this point:

I thought Beagle was a european project as well, led by the brits? either way, we should think about spending our money on education and crime policy, not space exploration... :rolleyes:

i truly think we can do both....but yer right, its a matter of priority, which is not too high on some f**kers list these days, no names mentioned....

OK now we're being sarcastic...

Yes, well, since I'm the one who started this thread, I think you can guess where I stand. here's another cool picture though :smile:

Hey that thing in the bottom left looks like a dead body rapped in a red piece of cloth!

look! it even has premade texture join points for the rockwork need for the mod!!! suhhweeeet!!! NASA IS 1337!!!! woot!!!!!
