    Indeed.

    Passive fields. January two thousand and twelve. A nation that stands alone. Cold voices, faces pale, Gathered unto their judgement day. Such words remain unspoken. Such pride remains unbroken. Just mothers to stand in vain and cry. Tears and medals in the rain. Shall I recall when justice did prevail? No reason to be found why reason did fail. The all clear resounding. The way was clear to rebuild this land. Shall I call on you to guide me well, To see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascension.

    hehe. Our little moon will only last about another 10 000 years before it flies off to do its own thing again.

    When our moon flies off it will mess a few thing up here on earth.

    Tides and weather just to mention a few.

    I suspect that our real moon won't be leaving us. The "second moon" will though.

    Luna [b]is[/b] leaving us, a few milli- or centimetres every year, it moves farther away, although I suspect future scientists will have a say in that.

    Yup, Luna is going bye-bye. But I read somewhere that the tidal forces are stabilizing the moon's orbit. But I don't remember if it will be stabilized in time.

    Man, the only way we'll have a second moon is if NASA found a way to fire Grewarsehole's fat ass into space. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]

    Yeah, really. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] I can imagine the Stargate SG1 2-parter with Anubis fuxoring the stargate going differently if Jack was hauling Dave instead of the stargate. [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/tongue.gif[/img] The X-302 wouldn't even get off the ground before running out of fuel.
