The little brother is building a pond.... he needed some flat rocks to use
on the island and to finish the rock wall on one side.

Are you talking about Doug or Scott?

I bet that was a rewarding time for you -if a bit nail biting. Why does
the orbit decay faster? I would have thought that a tumbling object
would have the same average drag on the high upper atmosphere or is it
something else?

Cheers

And where is it now?


Dust on the sea ...

It worked great for about a year and a half (scheduled for a 6 month mission)
but then it had a problem and lost 99% of its reaction gas, which is needed to
keep it stabile. We managed to keep it going for another 6 months with 24/7
attention, but then resources got diverted to for one of the early shuttle tests
(where they dropped the mock-up from a plane, I think) and it was lost. Once
they start tumbling the orbit decays quicker and it burned up in a year or so.
This was HEAO-2, also known as the Einstein Observatory. In many ways, it was a
predecessor to Hubble - my boss, Dr. Riccardo Giacconi, became the first
director of the Space Telescope Science Institute and was awarded the Nobel
Prize in 2002.

can't be me, I'm not stabile.

Well I appreciate the invite, Oz. I've seen America, many times...it's time
I set my dreams on the horizion.

Yep, You really should have a look.
It is one of the most beautiful countries in the World, there's a raw
natural beauty that is difficult to explain without seeing it.

You lying *******, it's a horrible place, flat, hot and dead boring.
The natives hate all tourists and especially rich *******s (which is
anyone with more money than them).

WTF you trying to do, Oz - get *more* tourists and wannabe migrants
here? Let em stay home if they can't figure it out for themselves.
Sydney is already full of riff-raff and as you say, the water quality
is going to hell.

Every morning when I wake up looking at the sunrise over the bay out
the front I'm glad I left Sydney.
