Fuck Infinity!

good job,I'm proud of you for being able to accomplish such a task when your retarded!

Good job SB69, I managed a double quad a few months back, now I have some company at the top LOL!

How's the air up there?

werebear, why don't you suck enourmouspenis's enourmous penis....

what's a first? A first in what; a double first is impossible, once you'r first you have no way to improve, you get all the great views being first, now second is like being the first loser.

Fuck Infinity!

puppy, you sure are cute but those were Canadians. Americans don't say "aboot." Here's a treat anyway...

Last time I looked Canada was right there on the north American continent. Do you mean they moved the whole fucking country? Where to?

Only if they videoed the ride down!

Well Pod , if the pilot was watching???

Oh yeah, not the crew.

Fuck Infinity!

because you play with lasers....

holy smokes. filters on guys... LOL!!!!

It's really the most visually gratifying way (other than a vehicle in near earth orbit) to see a total eclipse. From the ground you don't get the effect of the conical shadow so dramatically, but then again, from above you don't get all the bizarre side effects from totality. Things like, sudden darkness with bright stars and planets popping out, instant cool down, birds and animals go quiet, flower blossoms begin to close, bees become disoriented and stop flying. Then there's the "shadow bands" which are among the most ephemeral phenomena seen by observers during the few minutes before a total solar eclipse. They appear as a multitude of faint bands that can be seen by placing a white sheet of paper several feet square on the ground, or looking at the side of a light colored building. They look like ripples of sunshine at the bottom of a pool. In "our" current time just a fluke it happens at all because the moon is receding from Earth at a 1/4" per year, we have a mere 1 billion years left before they are gone forever!

Fair point well made Miter

But you'd still be stuck with those tossers in the background and nowhere to get away from them ;-)

Marvel in it somewhere quiet I say.

IMHO

Fuck Infinity!

Besides my telescope w/solar filter, I look at the sun all the time with two different pair of binoculars, Coronado 10x25 BinoMite Solar Binoculars and my big 20x80s with J.M.B solar filters. Things are quiet now since it's now the time of solar minimum, an 11 year cycle, but when the spots are all over, flares shooting out, CMEs and other phenomena the sun it's an interesting show from a very close star! See some for yourself....
