Sure thing, Tom!
Batwench

I wonder if they have a Martain version - The chances of any thing comming from Terra was a million to one they say. But still they came!

digital cameras existed then, not commercial ones
TomF

A guy at Kodak developed a dig camera prototype in mid 70's I think
Batwench
20:12:26
surely they mean another planet apart from Earth @ewen#
Batwench
20:13:50
Does anyone know if there is a maximum weight that they can send due to the atmosphere and gravity effects on it.
SwampRat
20:15:53
Maybe watch "My Favorite Martian" instead ;-)

20:16:21
No one would have believed, in the last
btnGuest38
20:16:22
years of the
btnGuest38
20:16:22
nineteenth century, that human affairs were being
btnGuest38
20:16:22
watched from the timeless worlds
btnGuest38
20:16:22
of space.
btnGuest38
20:16:22
No one could have dreamed we were being scrutinized, as
btnGuest38
20:16:22
someone with a microscope
btnGuest38
20:16:22
studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of
btnGuest38
20:16:22
water. Few men even considered
btnGuest38
20:16:22
the possibility of life on other planets and yet,
btnGuest38
20:16:22
across the gulf of space, minds
btnGuest38
20:16:23
immeasurably superior to ours regarded this Earth with
btnGuest38
20:16:24
envious eyes, and slowly and
btnGuest38
20:16:25
surely, they drew their plans against us.
btnGuest38
20:16:26
At midnight on the twelfth of August, a huge mass of
Batwench
20:16:26
@EWen Mr BW says that our space ports are in Cornwall and Caithness
btnGuest38
20:16:27
luminous gas erupted from Mars
btnGuest38
20:16:28
and sped towards Earth. Across two hundred million
btnGuest38
20:16:29
miles of void, invisibly hurtling
btnGuest38
20:16:30
towards us, came the first of the missiles that were to
btnGuest38
20:16:31
bring so much calamity to Earth.
btnGuest38
20:16:32
As I watched, there was another jet of gas. It was
btnGuest38
20:16:33
another missile, starting on its way.
btnGuest38
20:16:34
And that's how it was for the next ten nights. A flare,
btnGuest38
20:16:35
spurting out from Mars - bright
btnGuest38
20:16:36
green, drawing a green mist behind it - a beautiful,
btnGuest38
20:16:37
but somehow disturbing sight. Ogilvy,
btnGuest38
20:16:38
the astronomer, assured me we were in no danger. He was
btnGuest38
20:16:39
convinced there could be no
btnGuest38
20:16:40
living thing on that remote, forbidding planet.
btnGuest38
20:16:41
"The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million
btnGuest38
20:16:42
to one," he said.

1Our engineering team asked JPL for permission to publicize our contributions to the Perseverance cameras last September. JPL humbly suggested we not release anything until it landed safely, just in case...

btnGuest98
20:52:20
Reminds me of a Les Dawson joke (British Comedian) In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty. And as I looked at all this I thought... I must put a roof on
btnGuest98

this toilet.
