Mars In Opposition Tonight

[MasterBlaster]

I hope I can see it.

 

[Mrs.B]

Thick fog here, I doubt if we will be able to see 2 blocks away!

 

[Husabud]

Heavy clouds here. Bummer!

 

[Altissimus]

Yep , clouds wind and rain....dang

 

[MasterBlaster]

Crikey, same here.

 

[Tucker943]

[Husabud]

[MasterBlaster]

[Husabud]

What's up guys and girls? Saw Mars before little storm rolled through gonna check its location. If you have an ipad there is great app called Star Walk. I really like the satelite feature. There are easy to spot when the sun sets. The reflect sunlight making them easy to,see.

 

[ClimbMIT]

At sunrise Venus has been quite a site to see as well

 

[MasterBlaster]

I haven't seen a sunrise since I was on salary.

 

[MasterBlaster]

The best sunrise/sunset I've ever seen was from the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, at sea.

 

[cory]

What are you doing for salary, I must have missed it.

I just saw Mars. Meh. It's a tiny point in the sky, a bit reddish.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You wouldn't believe how it looks...

 

[ClimbMIT]

My best sunset was in freefall was over the Gulf of Mexico with 15 other skydivers. Light fog over the water, sun just starting to dip from view. We Exited the plane at 14,500' paired up in freefall to form a 16 way round and held it for 40 seconds then turned tracked away for 5 seconds and pulled. We flew onto the beach right behind Florabama Bar (Half the bar is Florida and half in Alabama) Man that was so surreal! one after another we sailed down on to the beach while spectators on the beach clapped for us. Beach jumps are awesome! sorry derail.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Oh hell yea! I'd love that!!!

 

[ClimbMIT]

Haha I know you would brother and hooked you would be! It is like doing drugs it is so exhilarating. It is expensive like drugs too! lol When my kids are in college we should go skydiving together MB. We could climb a Red Wood with Jerry B and base jump off it. That would be sweet

 

[MasterBlaster]

Damn straight!!!

Wife. Typing is a bastard. Steroids for my back make me jittery.

 

[MasterBlaster]

That's not a light - that's a Martian, bay-beeee!

 

[Altissimus]

...follow the stars, Venus and Mars are alright tonight....

 

[ClimbMIT]

Beam of light on Mars pretty cool. I can't understand why people believe there is no life forms anywhere but here. We find new species of fish, squid, jelly fish, etc.., in our oceans everyday practically. New insects everyday for sure, plant life, trees, and animals are found at times as well. What is fact today will eventually be proven wrong in the future. always has always will. So why should we think that science is right about what is considered fact for life to exist on other planets? Just because almost nothing on this planet can survive on Mars, Moon or even the Sun doesn't mean there is no life form in the infinite galaxies of space that no life form could exists and live on what we consider uninhabitable terrain. A light in space could be a life form that breaks all the rules of our current belief of what is scientific fact in order for life to exists. Not just life but intelligent life.
