In a discussion with someone here, an exhustive paragraph is provided by the person I'm talking to about some authoritive people that have seen UFOs. I don't even know where to begin. I'm skeptical of his claims, of course, but aside from the BA's site (and even that is not too extensive with UFOs), I don't know what to reference.

I own some of the motion picture DVDs. The rest are on VHS, as well as some episodes. And I've recorded a few episodes on VHS as well.
I feel so out of place in the world of Star Trek fans. I must be one of few that thinks Nemisis was pretty good. I didn't mind it at all. I find it more bearable than Star Trek 5. Am I weird for this?

Hope I can catch it in theaters too. I saw "Magnificent Desolation" on IMAX at the Kennedy space center. Perhaps this too will be added to the selection.

I vote for "Don't like 'em, better than anarchy".
But that's not the reason I accept Apollo as fact. I accept it, because it's supported by science.

That's a great image! Must be one of the higher res photos. Armstrong looks cleaner in this image than Jack Schimt did after one of his moon walks.

This is what's so funny about you. Someone makes a joking statement, and you jump over it with videos and articles.

First off Rocky, I also disagree with the govt reason for being in Iraq. A lot of people do, in fact. You, not living in the US appearently, wouldn't know that, and thus are under the impression that those that do disagree get bumped off.
So, you assume that because that Kangas guy was a CTer that openly wrote against US actions, that his death had something to do with 9/11?
Rocky, you're living in a fantasy world. This isn't 1984.
Why can't you ever give information yourself? Why must videos speak for you? You're just taking the easy way out, parroting anything you read, advertising CT theories. Well Polly, I'm not giving you a cracker.

I have better things to do than to waste 2 hours on a video. Saying that something "reflects reality" says nothing. It just shows you're being a "yes man". Demostrate that you actually know what is in that video by giving a summery. Until that, you're just an ad.
From your paragraph explaining why you believe this, it seems you're just swallowing these stories without checking their credibility or providing evidence that anything is true.
You're only believing what is consistent with your preconceptions. Since you're accepting what some people, who for all we know are off their rocker, you automatically assume these videos and websites are factual. But without actual evidence to back up these stories, and with you simply acting as an advertisment, we here can't take them seriously.
Also, given your track record, you've shown yourself to be little more than a seagull; leaving "deposits" and asking people to "clean up" the mess.
It's also ironic you link to Chomsky, as he disagrees with 9/11 CTers. Of course, you wound up claiming he was coerced into doing that, as he disagree with your little world.

We want your opinion. If you have time to watch a 2 hour video, you have the time to give your ideas on said video.

However, there is this: before the US invasion, nobody was blowing up markets and schools in Iraq. Because Saddam would have used methods to suppress such rebellion far more destructive than what the U.S. is willing to use. If a bombing happened, he might arrest an entire neighborhood who might have hidden the bombers, or killed all their surviving family members, or go to even further extremes. We aren't about to be that ruthless. As far as Rocky is concerned, the US is already that ruthless. Note how he likes to point out Google results on "US" and "Death Squads". Quite the oppisite, Rocky. By no means have you shown yourself to be a fountain of wisdom. Just an advertisment for CT sites and videos.

I figure I'll turn the discussions to some good old fashioned fun.
Anyone here enjoy fishing? What sort of experiences have you had? What sort of fish do you dream to catch? Any other questions I haven't thought of?
Me, I've often caught largemouth bass. Never kept 'em. I'm a big believer in catch and release.
The freshest fish I recall eating was a gag grouper. My dad caught it off a deep sea fishing boat, off of Islemarada (in the Florida Keys, for those that aren't local to the Plywood Sunshine state). Good eating.
I dream of reeling in a shark. Not too big an animal, though. A real challenge would be a goliath grouper. Need the stuff for them, though.
Okay, enough from me, I pass it on to whoever is interested.

I concur with that. So few people it seems have even heard of the Constellation program. The word should get out about it. If more knew about it, then more would probably realize what's at stake with Congress penny pinching NASA's budget.
A historical parallel develops here; NASA's budget was slashed once before, around the time of the Vietnam war. Now, it's hoped for increase is frozen, with the Iraqi war going on. Connections? Perhaps, perhaps not. But it does show that the national priorities ought to be changed. It seems to me that far fewer people would object to a funding of a mere $500 million for this year's budget than to the billions wasted in Iraq.
I would assume that the station's usefulness is that it has potential for many micro-gravity experiments and long duration research on the human body, yes? Aside from this, I'm not too familiar with it's role either. I even see this in David West Reynold's book Apollo: The Epic Journey to the Moon, where he mentions that the purpose of the ISS is not clear. I would like to think it is, but can't say off the top of my head what it is. Enlightenment, please?

I wouldn't call the support for the Constellation program (Ares is the rocket's name, Scooter) a lack of enthusiasm.
The program appears to resemble Apollo, which had potential. And, it was cheaper than the shuttle program. Also consider that despite having a voluminous payload pay, the capacity is only a third that of the Saturn 5. The Ares 5 will restore that heavy lift capability. If we still had that ability, then the ISS could've been constructed much faster.
Aside from that, the Orion is also meant to go to the moon, something the shuttle cannot do. This seems opposite of an apathy and adversity to risk. Indeed, going to the moon holds more risk than the shuttle. This is more of a return to the old enthusiasm.

I personally have high hopes for the Orion.
I recall seeing some tasks that the Apollo spacecraft could've done if it had not been decommed.
Given it's smaller size and it's engine, I assume it can achive a higher orbit than the shuttle. I read that Gemini could, so why not Orion?
Since the ISS will be complete, it can do the experiments that the shuttle used to preform. And unmanned rockets can handle sattilites.
The big thing for Orion is its potential. It'll go to the moon, that's for sure. Who knows what else it could do? If its at least as capable as Apollo, it could go beyond the Earth-moon system.
I know of the space plane you refer to, BT. I believe it was called VentureStar. The prototype was the X-33. As usual, budget constraints killed this project.
