What, exactly, is it that makes you react so venomously to
any mention of anything outside your personal box? How does
it break your bones or steal your money when somebody
mention something you don't like?

I don't like lies. Especially lies that are illegal to tag as lies.


Then, of course, you'll be happy to show me the scientific proof
that they are lies.


Show me proof for Noah's arc and I'll show you proof that all animals
didn't come from the same spot.


I'll be waiting!

BTW, what does "lies that are illegal to tag as lies" mean?

It's illegal to correct the bible.
Example: Noah's arc should be tagged as a lie (a falsehood).
It's illegal to tag (note, mark, bookmark) the Noah story as a lie.
Christianity does not allow corrections.
However, Christianity correction does occur in the form of cherry
picking.
No one talks about exodus 31:15. That one is quietly sweep under the
rug..

Science allows corrections and is not under the influence of
toiletpaperless desert monkeys who wrote wild and crazy stories.

Er ... are you saying that this isn't, like, totally standard on US cars?

How would you pull away uphill without a handbrake?

Most American-made cars have a "Parking Brake", pedal left-most
against the wheel well.
So, how do you pull away uphill (without either having three feet or just
being quick enough not to roll back into the vehicle behind)?

Actually, how are you supposed to pull away on the flat? I know that, in
practice, most people just use the footbrake. But if you do that on the UK
driving test, you'll fail; you're not supposed to release the handbrake
until the clutch bites (i.e. no freewheeling at any point).

[Note to Rich: heel-and-toe will also cause you to fail. Pedals aren't
supposed to be operated with the heel.]

Correction...exodus 31:14-16
But the best psycho part is Exodus 31:15
GOD'S WORDŽ Translation (Š1995)
You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a day of worship, a
day when you don't work. It is holy to the LORD. Whoever works on that
day must be put to death.

Compare to (depending if you take the Sabbath as Sat or Sun):

Crazy. For the price of one repair trip, we could have funded dozens
of ground-based telescopes with resolution superior to Hubble and many
decades of lifetime each. Throw in a few expendable UV and gamma-ray
satellites too.
It is actually rather hard to get ground based imaging to match Hubble.
The atmosphere is a damn nuisance even with adaptive optics. And there
are wavebands worth studying where the atmosphere is not transparent.

You cannot fault Chandra for the X-ray imaging. That is way beyond
anything that could have been predicted when Hubble was built.

Pity the space station isn't usable as a telescope platform. At least
it might claim to have a use.
It never could be. Too much flexing. Satellites for precision imaging
and positional astrometry need very careful design.

Read Chaisson's book, The Hubble Wars.
John
I don't know what that book says, but one of the most annoying features
was that the spy bird designers kept quiet about the flexure problems as
parts of the solar panels go in and out of the sunlight. In its early
incarnation the myopia induced by over reliance in the null tester
wasn't its only problem. And due to launch delays due to Shuttle
problems its sensors were already being surpassed by newer developments
for ground based but not space certified detectors.

The whole space thing isn't a scientific endeavour, it's a military one
at bottom. That's why the scientists have been puzzled by the
priorities from day 1.
I don't even think it's military. And it's sure not science. It's
politics, money, and show biz. NASA won't even buy magnetic storage
for some of the data that older satellites are sending back.

Why do we want to put humans back on the moon?
It would be fun to bring back a sun bleached Hassleblad in line with
their famous advert and then make the people who deny we went there with
the Apollo program eat their hats.

China is working on putting a man on the moon. I think it is a case
of "We are doing it because they are. They are doing it because we
did." It is all about pride and ego. NASA isn't likely to put a
human onto Mars any time soon so repeating the moon trick will have to
do.


Humans have proven to be remarkably inept and fragile in space. If a
fraction of the manned-spaceflight bucks had been spent on robotics
and science, we'd have something to show for all that lost money and
all those lost lives. Some really talented people have died in the
name of sci-fi show-biz.
For once we are in almost full agreement.

It was reasonable to send people into space in the 60's and 70's when
robotics was in its infancy. And there was a super power space race on -
which was distinctly preferable to global thermonuclear war.

Humans are still the most useful resource in new situations that require
quick local decisions. It takes a long time to update firmware in a
remote probe. However, robotic probes have come on a long way in
autonomy. Look at the Mars explorers are doing way beyond their design
lifetime.

http://marsrovers.nasa.gov/home/index.html

And it now only makes sense to send humans to do a job that robotics
cannot manage. It is an unfortunate fact of life that swapping out
modules on the HST was not designed to be done by robots and is very
tricky for humans in a pressure suit.

To build the first of the Stepping Stones to the Galaxy; sort of a "way
station" if you will, with resources fetched from the asteriod belt or
Saturn's rings, whatever. ;-) There's lots of solar energy up there, you
know. ;-)

Geez, switch off Star Trek reruns and do the math. Putting men on Mars
is insane, maybe not possible with current technology. Getting to the
nearest star is a zillion times worse.
I reckon you could put men on Mars with current technology. What
condition they would be in when they landed there is another matter and
getting them back safely would be out of the question. Unless you read
and believe the most optimistic science fiction of the would be Mars
explorer brigade.
And what a telescope platform!

As the space station should be. But we could fund thousands of
sub-arc-second terrestrial telescopes for less money.
Space stations can never be sensible platforms for todays high
resolution imaging or spectroscopic systems. There is too much flexure
in anything that has not been explicitly designed for the purpose.

HST and Hipparcus have programs to determine the residual systematic
errors and quirks in their pointing caused by differential thermal
expansion making panels deform suddenly.

Also you should bear in mind that increasingly large telescopes are
being used for light graps to power spectroscopy rather than imaging.
The images are fine for coffee table books and a general look-see but it
is the spectroscopy that contains most of the science.

So what? You keep on getting excited about short term noise, as if it

Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

So where is the long term data necessary to demonstrate the long term trend?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Instrumental_Temperature_Record.png

for example.

Panicing Bill, who does not approve of people using obsolete data,  is
stilll trying to flog misleading and obsolete data.

For the real picture:

http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadcrut3/diagnostics/comparison.html- Hide quoted text -
Ravinghorde is desperate to include the extra year of two that shows
that the global temperature is declining at the moment, just as it has
done in the past.

Why he thinks that this makes his data a better guide to the long term
trend isn't easy to fathom. He seems to be hoping that the current
trend will continue indefintely and we'll end up in the early stages
of the next ice age.

The Younger Dryas did start pretty abruptly

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas

but the hypothesised causes of the change would have been noticeable.
