Auction closed at $66. That makes me tempted to dig out my poster and sell it off. Nah, I'd rather keep it :)

[QUOTE]Yeah, they came low from direction of islands so that they were hard targets for radar because of low altitude and those islands directly on background. There was one document about one of those attacks in Finnish television few years ago. …

[QUOTE]It had the Psi-Corps logo and "Trust the Corps" on the screen instead of Babylon 5 after the "recap" portion of the sequence. Then, at the end, "Babylon 5" was on the back of the station, and JMS's name was next to it as a regular credit.[/QU…

Its probably my old video card (GeForce 2), but the flashlight is acting really really weird. It doesn't seem to go across polygon boundaries... For example in the first level when you are trying to get off the ship, and you end up running down …

Here are the other two movies scheduled. Sep 9, 9pm EST Babylon 5: Thirdspace Sep 10, 9pm EST Babylon 5: River of Souls The SciFi channels scheduler is back up. I checked but it isn't showing the other movies anywhere in its lineup, and it has…

The other odd thing about the Liandra is that is appears to be smaller than a whitestar, although it is hard to tell as we don't see it closeup to something of known size; however Delen said that whitestars were the smallest warships to mount jump …

About the weapons operation. Having to wave your hands and feet around is silly, especially since it was obvious when she was attacking the mines, that the gun systems could fire much faster than a human could usually make them do so, becuase when …

A nice piece. As a quick real world example of eye tracking, the AH-64 Apache attack helecoptor, uses a head / eye tracking system to handle weapons targeting. The chaingun (when active) tracks l/r up/down following the gunners head, and aims wh…

I know that it is somewhat impractical with the shuttles _as currently designed and run_ to include a camera system and an escape module. But since NASA doesn't have the materials on hand to build another shuttle, like Endeavour post Challanger, …

Moving away from the nuts and bolts of shuttle [materials] (re)design, I'd like to bring up something from the news reports today. NASA stated that they didn't have pictures taken of the shuttle wing because they wouldn't be useful; An astronaut…

FreeJack There are a couple of theoretical methods for getting to orbit without having to burn rocket fuel. Or at least to drastically reduce the fuel required. The old sci-fi standby of a large electromagnetic launch system. Stick a capsule …

10 people in 50 years is a good number, but NASA doesn't launch all that often... The shuttle fleet not long ago passed it 100th launch. At 7 people max on a shuttle, thats around 700 people on the shuttle, maybe a couple hunderd more at the out…

Voyager 1 and 2 got sent on different paths through the solar system and ended up at different final velocities (and vectors), and after 25 years of higher speed you get a lot of seperation. Actually the two probes are heading on a quite divergen…

Shadow Boxer. While it is possible that someone will come up with a non-conductive penetrator, this armor will still have possitive effects. One reason that metals are used as penetrators is their superior density, so they have a harder punch th…

About that Naboo ship. It was neat looking, but it was a little disconcerting at first to hear what sounded a lot like a distant B-17, while it flew past. i.e. a four engine prop plane; the propeller drone was very clear. Oh well, it looked cool.…
-
The Jedi long range transport ring looks cool, but I'd be worried about flying into a system and dropping off the only way I had to leave and just hoping it would still be there when I left... I guess its not that big a deal since the main ship has…
-
Bulk metal would be fairly easy. Getting specific alloys less so, but still not hard. Paper, in as much as it is used wouldn't be hard. Human waste as fertilizer (possible for the big park in the center of the station) easy enough, just radia…

The distress call wasn't really fake, the ship was in serious trouble, but blowing up the first ship to respond to a distress call isn't the way things are normally done [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/smile.gif[/img] Of course Sheridan bel…

sorry, should have payed more attention. I was reading threads off two forums at once and mixed up the movies; then didn't double check.

The SciFi channels scheduler is back up. I checked but it isn't showing the other movies anywhere in its lineup, and it has schedule information through the end of September. I had assumed if they were showing 3 movies they would show them all, …

Since someone brought up formations in Homeworld, one thing that bugged me was the bigger formations or cap ship formations becase very unweildy. Since the game engine always force the formation to turn as whole it could take forever to get a for…

*Bump* missed one Sunday January 20 at 3pm Babylon 5: The Gathering

Actually; I hate to admit that I don't have a copy on DVD; yet. I was hoping to get it for christmas and been to lazy to buy it when I didn't. I actually had wishlists set up to catch all the b5 movies, its just that ItB was the first shown so…

Well for stuff like the raiders that only have the engines on the rear, I imagine they would fly almost exactly like we saw the Narn Frazi heavy figher fly in the show. Specifically using small thrusters to spin the ship so the tail pointed away …

--- The flagship of the Italian Navy is the aircraft carrier MM Garibaldi, built by Fincantieri of Genoa and commissioned in 1985. Garibaldi (C551) is classed as a CVS - Aircraft Carrier ASW (Anti-submarine Warfare). The ship is capable of carrying…
