You need an awful lot of ancient life to later metamorphose into fossil fuels. I reckon if Mars ever experienced a Carboniferous period we'd be able to tell by now.

I thought it was the meteor breaking up when I first saw that vid. But on closer inspection it's clearly down to surface irregularities/scratches in the windscreen of the car.

"censored-a-doodle-doo." :rofl:

Nah we would have used a super sheep or a banana bomb. Far more effective than 3 mad cows. I ate British beef all through the 'crisis'. It never did me or my imaginary friend any harm. ;) :blink: ;) ;) ;) ;) :blink: ;) ;) ;) :thumbup:

Good point, I hope it's for England's now famous beach. "From Soho down to Brighton" Yeah, the London to Brighton route's quite legendary now. There's a gruelling cycle ride for charity that occurs annually, attracting some quite big names from the sport. Traditionally London's commoner...

Ah, memories of childhood came flooding back. Although I remember more drizzle and sea spray. Anyone spot the Rover at 5:16? Lol, I used to think Brighton's Royal Pavillion was "where all the Russians lived". Mistaking the Indian style minarets for the Kremlin. (this was very a young kid...

My mind was always drawn to Brighton beach in England. For which NYC's Brighton Beach was named. Although I am unsure of Orbiter's Luna reference. Brighton's a seaside town on the Sussex coast in England, The beach is all pebbles ranging from 1" to 10" in size and hosts two Victorian pleasure...

Merry Christmas to one and all.

I picked up a small H.G Wells novel in a dusty little bookshop in London today. Was pleasantly surprised to find my home town as the main setting for this short science fiction story. 'Argonauts of the air', A cautionary tale to the early days of flight c.1895. It's about the maiden flight of...

http://volo-airsport.net/blog/ I happened across this squirrel-suit skydiving simulator a couple of weeks ago. Wondered if it might appeal to any chaps here as I've been having loads of fun with it. You need a gamepad with analog sticks to play, like a 360 controller. It's still in Alpha...

Matched me with C.Sinclair : Canadian soccer player Maurice Smith : Jamaican Athlete Katie Dawkins : British synchronised swimmer. Could have been worse. It could have compared me to four ladies. :lol: Interesting though. If that were a Hertzsprung–Russell diagram I'd be sitting well on the...

Is this the incident you mentioned? Quite chilling footage. I noted he didn't stay conscious long enough to possibly do anything practical. He went out like a light. An interesting astronaut's quote I recall..... during EVA's the spacesuit's pressure is low enough they can compress the...

I have always liked the name Erebus for an explorer ship, and have the lander or probe named Terror. Who wouldn't want a spaceship named Terror? Except for the superstitious.

I'm very patient for this sort of thing. I can wait. This goes right up there with the Ravenstar mkII on my 'must stay alive long enough to have a go' list. Don't worry, I'm not bouncing off the walls with excitement. It's just not often I come across something I'll enjoy anticipating. Not...

http://stexcalibur.com/ I came across this a few weeks ago, surprising myself I had not come across it before as it seems to have been under development for a few years. Looks like a very exciting project to any Star trek fans. A free to play, community developed, bespoke engined Star Trek...
