London WC1 4th inst re: Teegardens Star Gentlemen, The Phrase "Teegarden's star counts itself in the majority of suns in the Milky Way." is at best disingenuous and bad grammar. A star is a celestial object in space, it does not have an intelligence of its own to decide matters for itself. Mankind has chosen upon it's behalf to so designate the star's status in our eyes. Teegarden's Star is simply classified as a red dwarf, which make up the largest population of stars in the galaxy. I send you my best wishes for a Happy Easter, Sidney J. Snodgrass CDM + Bar |

A woman was charged with a felony for not returning a VHS tape. She found out 21 years later. McBride didn't find out about the outstanding warrant against her until she tried to change her name on her license after getting married and moving . |

My high school English Teacher, mentor, and long time friend passed. His original Cafe Pacifico featured my photography of old Mexico. He taught me to look to beauty that is often ignored. Shadows, textures and some whimsy. Rest in Peace Mr. Estes. Tomas Estes, Who Put Tequila on a Pedestal, Dies at 75 ![]() |

All points bulletin to all kitties and kittyettes............ First they bomb the world with the coronavirus, and now............................. Last week the flippin' Chinese launched a piece of their planned space station into space aboard a massive rocket. Problem being, they apparently gave little thought nor care about exactly where that used rocket was going to end up. It's going to come crashing back down to earth next week.................destination unknown. Keep your heads up and an eye to the sky, kitties! Chinese rocket to make uncontrolled reentry; unclear where debris will hit: report. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." ![]() |

I really don't trust anything on Fox News, but confirmed the rocket info on other reliable sites, Here is Space.com's report. That comment about Fox News was totally out of line and not needed here. Keep it to yourself or take it over to the politics forum, please. Besides that, the Fox article was referring to SpaceNews as the basis of their article.

... confirmed the rocket info on other [more] reliable sites, Here is Space.com's report. Good article and rather dangerously uncaring of the Chinese to not take proper care of where their discarded hardware lands... Note the glib comment: The odds of a particular individual being hit by space debris are exceedingly low, once estimated at 1 in several trillion. ... Yet with a trillion creatures to hit, odds are on that something gets hit on its head... Fly safe!

Ouch! That can be done in other ways without the extremes of losing your finger or even an eye as was long ago first done for one of the "James Bond" movies... Stay safe?! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
