Greetings Doctor, I have a feature request for you concerning the city gazette. 1. Many city names are used more then once throughout the world; in California for instance, you have Sacramento and San Francisco, but of course there's another two San Franciscos in South America, and one Sacramento. T...

Thanks for the link HS, and the feedback guys. Trek on!

Hey guys, wasn't there talk of someone designing a few more textures of Trek Ships? I would REALLY love to see a mobile trek network in Celestia. Maybe a large spacestation orbiting earth with different ships patroling the Solar System, traveling to different stars, and orbiting real extrasolar plan...

Hmm, I have a question then guys, how in the heck can we even see Uranus or Neptune? Both seem to emit a glow of their own, if the light does not in fact come from Sol.

If that's true, then the two twin giants are a heck of a lot more interesting then I previously thought.

Cassini's mission is to explore Saturn's moons, right? What's its primary objective, Europa?

Will this mission in any way help us to determine anything about the Europan oceans?

--Starman

This is a question about the Centauri brothers and Proxima. Have we yet attempted to aim our planet finding methods at our nearest neighbors? If so, what were the results, and when was the latest study?

Thanks, --Starman

Part of the joke.

Ouch Grant, that's true. In every instance you're thinking, "What a way to die." Thanks Bob, so will I :lol: Evil Doctor :lol:, if I were a politician, I'd give John Kerry my seat. El Pelado; it'd be fast, but I doubt painless. Imagine boiling alive before impact due to the major atmospheric frictio...

Hey everybody, With all the (disproved) idiotic rumors going around about that so-called doomsday asteroid, I figured I'd give hysteria its own thread. So what do you think? Would they (the governments of the world) tell us? Wouldn't they? Why? And hey, if it wasn't a world destroying event, would t...

Wow. Can you enlighten us Mr. Hutchison; what is negative matter/energy? I know we've done experiments on creating anti-protons, and other exotic things.

--Starman

My apologies Evil Doctor .

Doctor Evil; if there was an incoming asteroid, why couldn't you just fire your (*air quotes) "laser"?

--Starman

I heard about that. It's supposed to be a disproved rumor, but I'm checking space.com now just to be safe.

--Starman

I believe you're refering to anti-matter, which is almost impossible to use as a building material to keep wormholes open, considering their volitile nature in our universe.

Interesting. Thanks for the clarification Grant. Wormholes have upset scientists for years, but they can't quite dismiss their existance. Have they moved just to ignore the phenominon?

Hey Don, thanks for the link! Yeah, I think he went on his honeymoon, and that was the last anybody had heard from Bruckner :lol:. Anyway, I'm going to be downloading a lot more, so I'll report any mistakes I come up with here. I tried MindtoAsk's downloads an hour before you it seems; hopefully it ...

BTW, you seem to be more intereested than most in our catalog. Would you like to help us out with improving it? Just think of the difference between the Deepspace section and the rest and imagine if the whole catalog was like that. Don and I also have many secret plans in the works for making add-o...

I thought awhile about that analogy :lol: . Consider it this way; the texture authors artists are like the galactic spiral arms; they are constantly feeding the supermassive black hole that is your website. Its one giant place where everything eventually comes together, without all that fear about b...

So does that mean no white holes grant? Just a tunnel with both sides sucking in?

I know BHs occasionally burp matter out, but I was always under the assumption that any "burp matter" came from stuff they'd already swallowed.

--Starman

So is the black hole's event horizon spherical, disk shaped, or a bulging disk? For that matter, what shape would the black "hole" itself be? Even though its not technically a hole. That's not to dispute the existance of wormholes; that's just a "black hole" that rotates in such a way that its possi...
