No need to argue, their info on that page is clearly wrong. The math is simple.
It's perplexing that what appears to be a NASA page is so wrong about such a simple equation and data, but that's the fact.
EDIT:Oh, I see, this is a NASA "partner" page, not a NASA page. Still, there's absolutely no excuse for the incredibly poor math skills or confusion of 'width' with 'size' that they exhibit.

From barebond's quote from Dan's post:

All Christians read the Bible selectively. Some read it hypocritically—and the hypocrites react very angrily when anyone has the nerve to point that out.

This. Pretty much. No need to argue more.

I`ll probably disagree with everything you will have to say about anything so no need to argue..

Have a nice day

I agree exactly. The first 5 minutes inspired awe and many other feelings, the religion part just fell flat and then the end revived the magic a bit.

The first 5 minutes were absolutely beautiful. Those 5 minutes express in words things that i never could, sat there staring up at the sky or looking through a telescope. It expresses completely my marvel when looking out at the universe and understanding the things i understand about it and then looking back down at myself and everyone on earth with me.

The rest of it i could take or leave. No need to argue for/against religion after that point. Just say those first 5 minutes, and the conclusions are your own.

Thanks for the Promote. I love that song one of the best. In high school I thought when I finished I would move to Ireland and marry Dolores. Alas it wasn't meant to be.

Some people have an irrational hatred of obamarx. The rest of us hate his Progressive, communist, anti-American agenda, failed spending schemes and fraudministration of tax cheats and alinskyites.

Anti-Insert Country Here agenda arguments only seem to work in countries that are under totalitarian rule. In a real democracy people aren't ridiculed or attacked for their differing views they are argued against. Calling something Anti-Country is a tool used by Dictators and should be laughed at like in almost every other country on this planet. Go tell an Italian that his views are Anti-Italian...it's just retarded, and shouldn't even be a part of the conversation.

kids kids kids..
no need to argue,
their is plenty of crapola for everyone.
so play nice and share-fair.
you both are actually agreeing,
yet caught up in semantics...BLAAAAH.
thats boring.

i have stated this on a different thread,
second times the charm.
maybe i can help put some perspective and context here.
/rubs hands together..
/takes a big breath...
ok.......go!
the number one lobbyist in america is NOT..
big oil..
big pharma..
nor the health insurance industry.
its it.../drum roll
MEDIA MEDIA MEDIA
broadcast,print and televised.
they spend THREE times what the number two lobbyist spend (big oil)
in order to influence legislators to vote on favorable legislation
A.K.A MONEY,the green,cash,profits
now,
up until the mid 70's television news was NON-profit.
it was a badge of honor to be the most trusted news in television.
that changed in late 70's.
news become FOR-profit.
which meant they now had to start generating revenue.
ever wonder why we were subjected to an almost 24hr barrage of anna nicole?
because we live in a country of semi-retards who wanted to see anna nicole.
stupid?
yes..
ratings go up?
sometimes as much as 47%.
in 1993 michael powell(yes..he is colin's son) head of the FCC at the time,
allowed single ownership of multi-outlet media companies.
and so america gave birth to the mighty media conglomerate:
disney..viacom..and yes..mr murdoch's FOX.
leaving america with only 5 owners for its media.
/takes a breath...
ok,now that i have posted SOME relevant history.
lets take a look at what this means.
lets get some context here.
we have three branches of government:
executive,judicial and legislative.
but we also have an unofficial fourth.
its called the fourth estate.
freedom of the press anybody?
who would like some extra credit and tell me which federalist paper addressed this very issue?worth 100 pts.
the fourth estates job was to WATCH the elected and the powerful.
basically rat out any wrong-doing in public office.
and for almost 200 years,this system worked relatively well.
but when an institution relies on the very people it was designed to expose
for its very financial existence.
how willing would that institution be to expose...anything?
to risk losing access,beneficial legislation,maybe even their well-crafted monopoly.
answer=they wont and they dont.
they will not risk profit for journalistic truth.
they cant.it is in every corporate charter,profit comes before all else.
the losers are the public at large.
who have to "sift" through the massive amount of jargon,half stories and outright bullshit,to get to any modecum of context.
the american media no longer works for the public trust.
they work for those who pay their bills,and give sweetheart deals,so they can retain access and keep the cash flowing.


whew...
/wipes brow
so,
while some media companies are more egregious in their attempts to obfuscate
than others (FOX),
all have their hands in the cookie jar,
and all of them no longer work for us.
rougy=correct
mashiki=correct

Ladies! Ladies! No need to argue. I'll be your tie-breaker. Bale was being a cock. Even if the DP willfully strolled across Bale's scene, there are limits to being angry at someone, and those limits tend to begin somewhere right before charging at someone and saying you'll kick their ass. He should've walked off the set for a breather.

To be honest, is there any real proof the DP actually walked through Bale's scene? Maybe he was just walking about off camera but happened to catch Bale's eye? You know, sometimes actors can be huge cocksuckers to the crew. I remember working on set with Judge Reinhold on a sci-fi flick called Last Lives and he had a scene where he was croutched over an actor on the floor of a church. As Judge was flubbing his lines, he tried to cram in an expletive but instead sprayed a big wad of spit into the air. Immediately he tried to catch the spit in his hand before it landed on the other actor's bald head, but he only managed to karate chop it in half and the spit covered the bald man's head. It was hilarious.

Anyhow, I guess he was too embarrassed to say he was sorry, so he instead stood up, took the prop he hand in his hand (called "Lifebands" which I built most of) and tossed it across the room yelling something to the affect of "Goddamn, stupid pieces of shit Lifebands!" I had to go around and pick up all the remaining pieces to glue them back together. I never received so much as an "I'm sorry" from Judge, so... yeah... Bale was being a cock.
