You know, I love Richard Hoagland and his site, but for a reason I’m sure he would not appreciate

You see, I am a HUGE geek, and love shows like the X-Files, and stories about U.F.O.s, cryptozoology, etc. (and strangely enough, stuff like this is popping up more and more on the History Channel, of all places).

Primarily, though, Hoagland’s ‘findings’ have made great fodder for a game I and my friends play called Dark Matter (kind of like “Dungeons and Dragons” meets the ‘X-Files’ [told you I was a geek ^_^] ).

Hope he never closes down his site, then I’ll have to start thinking up stuff for myself

Martin….I think football is boring but its my personnal preference.

A live webcam on the moon? That would be fine. I don’t care if its live coming from the moon, Mars, a satellite or the space station. I don’t even care what it is pointed at, empty space, the moon, Mars or even earth. Just anything live and uncensored.

Well no, I can’t say that metsat images are “garbage”, not at all. What is it that you crave? A live feed from the surface of the moon, perhaps? Pretty boring….

Martin Blaise thats all well and good but I don’t consder that live. Do you actually think in 2008 that something like those links is the best they can do? If it is then the trillions they spend on that stuff has been totaly wasted. Admit it, that crap is nothing more than spoon feeding us garbage.

Both these metsat pics are “live”, but discontinuous. Meaning that you’ll see a live pic only if you display the frame at the same moment that it’s rendered. I’m not sure what the refresh interval is but that’d be a piece of cake to find out.

I suppose you can provide me with a link to go to, that has some live streaming video from space then. It soesn’t matter to me if it is a camera looking at earth or out into space. I’d be glad to come back and stand corrected if you would do that. I have had no luck in my search but maybe I just don’t know where to look. I look forwad to admitting I’m wrong as I would love to see some live shots from space.

The Voyager flybys of Jupiter and Saturn were shown live on “The NASA Channel” (or something like that, can’t quite recall the name now). I know they were because I spent many hours watching them.

In any case, the idea that “Every piece of information from space is held back and not released until it has been looked at and censored” is ludicrious. That’s a fantasy; a claim so extraordinary it’s not believable. What evidence is there such a thing happens? (Excluding spy and commerical satellites, of course.)

And as far as saving money et al., stop slaughtering people in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’ll help considerably more lives and save vastly more funds.
