1) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Is the universe older than we think? (Message 2122713) Posted 16 Jul 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: They may as well use the S.W.A.G. method. It's hard not to conclude it's a monumental waste of time,

2) Message boards : Politics : The Ukraine Crisis (Message 2122197) Posted 5 Jul 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: Who do you believe when watching and listening to reporters in Russia and the Ukraine? I see reports that the Ukrainians are loosing badly while others say Russia is on the brink of defeat.

3) Message boards : Politics : With this covid will never go away (Message 2122196) Posted 5 Jul 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: There are always other bugs lurking around looking for a host that will allow them in.. Ten years ago it was MERSA, now it;s COVID-19. There are millions of people that kill the food they eat, especially in Africa and Asia. It is possible that much of the wild game that is consumed is infected with some virus or other contagin.

4) Message boards : Politics : The Ukraine Crisis (Message 2121860) Posted 30 Jun 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: I just hope that if and/or when Putin is removed from power his replacement isn't another warmonger.

5) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Don't know where it should go? Stick it here. (Message 2121859) Posted 30 Jun 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: Very well run mission but are sub-orbital flights the ultimate goal of Virgin Galactic? It seems to me that this technology is a dead end as far as space flight is concerned.

6) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Artemis 1 launch (Message 2120269) Posted 1 Jun 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: OK, running over budget is not good but think about it. Where was the money spent and who received it? It was paid to highly skilled technicians to solve the problems and build the spacecraft.

7) Message boards : Politics : Why can't we have peace in this world? (Message 2118493) Posted 29 Apr 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: To the original question in the title. The human species was wired to be just a little too violent and no matter how hard some of us try the beast in us tends to dominate.

8) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : SpaceX ready to launch again. (Message 2118398) Posted 27 Apr 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: It never pays to cut corners especially on the launch pad.

9) Message boards : Cafe SETI : Dogs (Message 2118195) Posted 24 Apr 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: My dog companion of the last two years passed away last week. She was a nine year old Australian Shepherd that I adopted from a pet rescue organization here in central Florida. She was the best behaved dog I have ever had. Her previous owner had recently died leaving Savannah and two other pets behind. [/img]

10) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : SpaceX ready to launch again. (Message 2117995) Posted 20 Apr 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: What disappointed me was that people in the viewing area of the launch center were cheering after it exploded as if it were a giant firework. I noticed right off that several of the perimeter rockets failed to start. I guess it was too much adverse thrust.

11) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Fusion power on the grid within 15 years? (Message 2112543) Posted 4 Jan 2023 by Bob DeWoody Post: Whatcha wanna bet once they get a working reactor going nobody is gonna want it in their vicinity?

12) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : A wild thought (Message 2111250) Posted 10 Dec 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: Recently I've been watching a lot of speculative science programming about dark energy, dark matter and space-time. last night I had a thought about the possibility of something, for lack of a better name, I am calling dark space-time which in concert with dark matter and dark energy counter balances common matter and energy. Maybe someone has already kicked this idea around but called it something else. maybe they work together to make up a parallel universe that occasionally intersects our universe. Maybe the cubes in a clear bubble that the Navy pilots have seen are a manifestation of this? Maybe they are a way that inhabitants of a parallel universe have developed to pop in and observe us. Maybe I need to go smoke some weed to fully think this out Any comments?

13) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Artemis 1 launch (Message 2107630) Posted 29 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: It's here. Good decision to move the rocket.

14) Message boards : Politics : The Ukraine Crisis (Message 2107451) Posted 25 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: All this nuclear talk also makes me wonder how and where Putin would order nukes to be used. In artillery shells, bombs dropped by aircraft or missiles launched from the ground or submarines. And what targets would he choose. Also how would the western powers and/or China respond.

15) Message boards : Politics : The Ukraine Crisis (Message 2107419) Posted 25 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: What I would like to know is whether Putin is deranged enough to use nuclear weapons and possibly start WWIII.

16) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : DART Mission to Reach Asteroid on Monday, September 26th (Message 2107416) Posted 25 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: It seems to me they need to be very careful to be sure they don't redirect said asteroid the wrong way.

17) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Artemis 1 launch (Message 2106852) Posted 14 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: Whenever they finally try again, I will be watching from in front of my TV and/or my front yard. I won't be driving over to the coast to see it up close and personal. I most likely will be going over for the first manned launch.

18) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Fusion power on the grid within 15 years? (Message 2106851) Posted 14 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: Looks as promising as anything I've seen so far. But what do I know? So I will fall back on my previous position. I'll believe it when I see it. Which unfortunately, most likely, will be after I'm no longer here to benefit from it.

19) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Artemis 1 launch (Message 2106268) Posted 4 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: I remember back before the first shuttle launch I went over to the Cape to watch and it took at least three attempts to get it off the pad. Every time I went it was during work hours and I took vacation time to go. I was getting really frustrated driving 40 minutes and finding a spot to watch only to find out some problem had caused a scrub. NASA has some pretty strict rules so stuff like this is bound to happen with a new system.

20) Message boards : Science (non-SETI) : Artemis 1 launch (Message 2106184) Posted 2 Sep 2022 by Bob DeWoody Post: I only live about 45 miles from the launch pad but I haven't decided whether I want to go over and watch the launch up close. I really can't afford the gas it will take to get there. I may wait for the first manned launch.
