Lt. Comd. Dodge: Lt. Lake... you're... almost out of uniform. Now, either you have miscalculated your dress size, or there has been some foul play!

I'm 99,9% sure it's the sign for the paranormal club, just mirrored because we're looking at it through the window in the door it's taped to...Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:35 pm OK what is that sign behind them? It's either in Russian or some other Cyrillic alphabet language, or maybe it's a reflection of the sign for the Paranormal club (because of the ghost).
Confirmation found here, as I was looking for something else...Leak wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:40 pmI'm 99,9% sure it's the sign for the paranormal club, just mirrored because we're looking at it through the window in the door it's taped to...Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:35 pm OK what is that sign behind them?

Now the question becomes was the sign printed on a transparent sheet that we can see the printing on the other side?lake_wrangler wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:45 pmConfirmation found here, as I was looking for something else...Leak wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 3:40 pmI'm 99,9% sure it's the sign for the paranormal club, just mirrored because we're looking at it through the window in the door it's taped to...Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 2:35 pm OK what is that sign behind them?

I remember a movie in French (or, at least, I watched it in French), made at least some 40 years ago or so, where scientists discovered that there was a planet orbiting the sun, on the same orbit as the earth, in a position exactly diametrically opposed as earth's position. Plans were made to send a rocket to explore. Much to everyone's surprise, said rocket landed back on Earth. People considered the mission a failure.Opus the Poet wrote: ↑Thu Feb 09, 2023 5:25 pmNow the question becomes was the sign printed on a transparent sheet that we can see the printing on the other side?
Actually, not quite.

L1 through L3, however, become tiny pinnacles. Things that aren't precisely in the right location and velocity tend to fall off them. Oh, and with the number of bodies in the solar system, I believe the points move around a tiny bit. (However, it's still a lot easier - you need less station-keeping - to stay on the straight line between Sun and Earth at these points than elsewhere.)
Oh my, yes. Consider how much energy we have to expend, using chemical rockets, in order to loft a kilogram of mass into low-Earth orbit, and how much more it takes to get it to reach escape velocity. The mass-and-energy efficiency is awful.(On the other hand, station-keeping an Earth-size planet would take a LOT of reaction mass.)
That... sounds familiar.gofor wrote: ↑Wed Feb 22, 2023 11:23 am We've got the setup down, but what about the summer before senior year? sexy interactions? Yet another ghost hunt? With more bourbon from Iowa, please. Another chance to hear Aunty Nudge's advice? Or perhaps something really unexpected? Discussion. Will Timothy make it through the expanded Scarlet?
Quite right... sorry, I missed seeing that it was a near-exact copy of your message when I approved it as a new-user posting.
