Could you see it with your naked eyes (No 98…..HELL No Koop!!!) or could you only see it in your photos?

:laugh:
This time, yes. When we went outside, our sky had deep reddish or purplish hues over big areas. It's hard to describe, because it's still dark out, and then when you take a picture (which does a 5 sec exposure) it looks all bright. But it was obvious with the naked eye where the general areas were.

For much of the year, I have a collection of denim long-sleeves I wear over my T-shirt when I work. I can leave it open, or button it, and it's easy to let the dogs out, because I don't need to go grab a jacket. Whenever I wear one of them to my barber shop, the woman who cuts my hair refers to the shirt/jeans combo as a Canadian tuxedo. It's funny, in an offensive way.

This is insane.



How did they manage to do this on what I think was the first try. Remember when they were trying to get the rocket boosters to land and like a bunch of them blew up before they figured it out. Also there must be a reason it has to get caught and can't just land on its own.

The comet is another hoax perpetrated by the Big TV Weather consortium.

I looked last night but nothing.
I'll keep checking like a sucker like I do when they say the aurora is "supposed" to be happening.

So all the Apollo guys were Air Force dudes. And now the astronauts like in the space station as I type this are all like intellectuals... I'm not sure which one I like better.

I think I want both like can't we have astronauts that are like John McCain? Like strong ass army dudes that are also like very smart.

Recently retired astronaut Chris Cassidy grew up on our street, and he was a Navy SEAL, as well as having a Master's from MIT. Is that not good enough?

Yeah that is definitely good enough. That makes me wonder how many seals are. Also ivy league graduates? And also astronauts. I would imagine it's an incredibly small group.

What? No doctorate????

He could be better.

Yeah right? Pull it together Chris.

Also one of the times he went to space he got there on the soyuz. I don't know. I would just feel dirty knowing that I hitched a ride with a bunch of commies.
