Oh go away and do your own research please. I can't stand the thought of you contaminating this thread.

it's the content that counts...

however, about the """Google""" Lunar X Prize, I've a "conspiracy theory" (I say it by myself before you'll say it... ) explained in this Space Fellowship Forum's post

Unfortunately, for the sake of my eyes, I am unlikely to read your, no doubt interesting, content.

Its a really good one and apparently you can see planets and the moon and stuff although since we bought it it has been too cloudy!

Can you recommend any beginners sites or something to get us started? Some software came with it that my husband is getting his head round..

Am rather sadly quite excited... although I hope the neighbours dont see us”

Why? I think that's a wonderful thing for a couple and family to do together. Sure beats staying inside in front of a TV watching a lot of the rubbish on TV these days or actively or passively ignoring your spouse.

Have to agree!

Am actively thinking of buying a telescope and rekindling my childhood love for all things astronomy based.

As its been ages im at the 'researching what is best to buy' stage on the internet.

Patrick Moore's books I found captivating as a child.

Beats watching crap like Celebrity Big Brother! (cue joke about z-list 'stars')

I'm curious to see it

does anyone know if it can be seen on internet on a webcast channel?

if yes, at which hour tonight?

if, after several launches, the SpaceX Falcon-1 will (also) prove it be reliable, it could be used by the ("The Chosen" by Google, I feel...) Odissey-Moon team to WIN the """Google""" Lunar X Prize... as explained in details in this Space Fellowship forum's thread

.

PS - any link to a "Moon Machines" documentary webcast channel?

OK, gaetanomarano is now on ignore. I urge you to do the same.

Click on his username. View his profile, then add him to your ignore list. That way you never have to read his drivel again!

So who watched NASA's Greatest Missions?

Episode 1 (which will be repeated next Saturday) focussed on the Mercury missions. I thought it was pretty good.
