“In space, no one can hear you scream.”
(Line from trailer for the 1980 movie,”Alien.”)
Thanks for the spacey music, Craig and Nash, the space sounds have been used in many sci fi movies, like Alien. I love sound.
And I was struck at the disarray of the Uranus Moon, Miranda. Most moons are named after Greek or Roman mythology characters...Moon Miranda is named after the daughter in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. Plenty of water on Miranda.
Love Simon and Garfish Patd.
I would like to comment on Runt Paul and his ‘buster.’ He invoked the name of Jane Fonda, no less. I guess he compared her to our late, native son, Awlaki. If Awlaki would have shown-up on the streets of Las Cruces, he would have been gunned down. So, Runt still sees Jane as a terrorist! Hanoi Jane. I guess Runt accessed the rewritten history version of the Republican’t party!
And Cruz attempting to compliment his buddy, Runt, stated this --
Would some one please tell Mr. Cruz that Jimmy Stewart is dead!
Jane Fonda has first amendment rights, Mr.Runt. Quit shredding her constitution.
In the ’70s you had “Hanoi Jane”, and now in the ’10s we have “Pyongyang Rodman”.
Leave Teddy Turner’s step-mom alone!
Iggy…watching Rodman speak so highly of Kim and his new budding bromance…it was touching. I imagine Rodman could grab a drone right out of the sky…sort of like King Kong and the airplanes while hanging-off the Empire State building.

Jane Fonda was the woman who brought bathrooms to the T or C airport in New Mexico. Jane convinced Turner to buy the old Armendaris Land Grant, Tract No. 33 for his bison ranch. It is a large tract of land near Elephant Butte lake. It was an old Spanish land grant. She also commissioned the painting of the water towers in T or C…bringing art to metal.
Too bad the marriage broke-up, but Turner’s sons still manage the ranch. I have been to the rope lava area where the Mexican Freetail bats live in the summer. The guano used to be mined for the citrus industry in California back in the early 1900s. Desolate and beautiful land…too hot for the bison.
Mining the moon?
Been on vacation, last week we took our cold weather and went to Florida. Yeah Tony, that cold snap was all our fault.
Was hoping the snow was gone when I got back, no such luck. Darn it.
Jack
Jamie… take care and get back to TM as soon as you can.
Carol… I will email you pictures when I get back… just practice a little bit of patience (insert smiley face).
Coreen… hope you don’t get too much snow today. I saw on the weather channel that Boston might get up to a foot. Back home in southern NH, 2-3 inches is expected because we live west… this is mostly an eastern storm.
Up here in the mountains, we are expecting an inch of slush (mainly over night).
BlondeW… Runt Paul… at least he’s entertaining… I know I get a big laugh outta watching his antics.
And while we’re talking about lost TMers… has anyone heard from Blue in Dallas?… she hasn’t been here for a while. I miss her.
whskyjack,
Missed your contributions.
I’d welcome Space Sounds emanating from my tv over any Senate/ Congress nonsense.
Klaatu Barada Nikto.
Ah whskyjack, we don’t recall giving you vacation leave, mister.
Ha, Craig…. He’ll know better next time.
RR…now this is entertainment!

Space Puzzle: What’s Behind Earth’s Mysterious New Radiation Belt? March 05, 2013
…O’man, the second paragraph sure got my attention:
“NASA’s latest and best-equipped mission into the radiation belts, have re vealed something remarkable that has theorists shaking their heads: Mere days after the probes switched on early last September, according to a report this week’s Science, a third radiation belt appear, nestled in between the other two at about 8,000 mi. (12,700 km) up.
The formation of a third belt was more than just a scientific puzzle—it presents a real-world problem. Knowing where the radiation belts lie and how the Sun’s periodic spurts of activity affect them is important for keeping satellites that provide telecommunication and GPS services intact. High-energy particles in the belts can cause disastrous shorts in electronics and occasionally turn a multi-million dollar device into junk.
……. for the rest of us, the mysterious third belt is a reminder of how much we still have yet to learn about the universe…….”

The best thing about Trail Mix is the humanity that exists. Each week someone asks, “Where is ….? I miss ….” Memories are long; the heartstrings longer. This is a nice little corner of the universe.

BIG SOUND From Space
Lenny Does Mahler’s 2nd Resurrection London Symph. Orch.
Out of this world.
bw, ak ak back at ya
Renee
on her facebook page Blue said she was giving up face book for lent, maybe she meant the internet.
Jack
……been floating out in space ( i am solar ) for a while and decided to take a peek to see what you all have been up to. I haven’t been around, but will start to lurk a little again…..
“Space talk, space sounds”
While floating in space, I noticed a sound that wasn’t ever there before…a tapping sound……tap, tap, tap, rata tap tap, tap, tap, tap,………..I had to stay up here for a while……. …wanna know how I made it through that maddening sound?
Hello Solar.
Solar, was about to dispatch an email posse to fetch ya. Nice to see you back in the hood, should have known a little Space noise would lure you back.
The three C gals that I love, (not in any particular order) Chloe, Carol, Coreen…..know that I love space talk….
The way that I made it through all the tap, tap, tapping noise while floating in outer space….instead of letting it make me crazy……ok, crazier….was to fall in love with the sound….now I just dance to the tapping of the endless waves of sound…..
Craig, Thanks.!
U know what we don’t need in outer space….Farts:
Farts that contain a large amount of methane and hydrogen can be very flammable.
Hey, im just passing a long a little info……don’t look at me like that….
The three C gals, (not in any particular order)Chloe, Carol, Coreen, know that i love space talking (and them ), just like all of the TM people here.
But when it gets to be a group thing, all of the finger pointing at the other side, not looking in the mirror…it can get a little stifling……i have read the last few threads….and they are wonderful….thanks.!
Closest I could find for a space smiley:
Not to worry, Solar, this Ohlfahrt is full of hot air
Ha.!….looks like I still have a way of clearing the room…..
One last space post….C-Bob worries about the weather here on earth…most of it real…..but who is going to worry about the “Stuff” in outer space?.
The worlds (ours) corporations are making space a their own private junk yard.!
There are huge amounts satellites traveling around the earth. Actually most of them travel along with the earths rotation, but what happens to them when they are not working, broke down, or just lost in space?
They have (i think) that they have been making them to last for a hundred years or so…..many of them have broken down and are scattering our space.
There are so many of them traveling around our earth, that they have or will crash into each other…leaving all its debris floating.
These, along with the ones that just stopped working after 20-30 years are going to be our biggest problem to getting outta here no?…..later
Solar, you remind me of a fun java interactive i once found for identifying junk in space — just click the floating objects for descriptions of stuff that’s really out there: See Junk in Space
I thought Nudie was going to pay for his moon colony by recycling space junk…and I think he is hiring Mittens to be the CEO
My youngest son is an Aerospace Engineering major at Texas A&M. A lot of our neighbors are NASA engineers. We live 4 miles from Johnson Space Center but interestingly most of the kids are trying to intern with the new commercial space startups.
They are considering the NASA internships less hip I suppose.
So the pizza pimp is working for Fox News — Republicans are stooooooooopid. First of all they believed people like Prick Morris that Romney would win and then there is 2008 when they thought Palin on the ticket would somehow make women run to the Republicans. What could they possibly be thinking at F--ked up news that would allow this behavior and think it is going to get them anywhere but further in the toilet
Herman Cain mocks Nancy P with a made-up story..the Tucker Carlson method -- and Hannity laughs.
Craig,
Thanks will try again later, could not get into the link…wants me to down load something…..will see.
Last year I gave my self a birthday present…i love going out alone on my birthday to the down town Chicago area….
Since to costs so much to park $20.00…I took in the History Museum, the Shedd aquarium…..and my favorite…the Alder Planetarium…….but “after dark”
Once a Month the Alder features a great show starting at six oclock in the evening, until 10 pm.
Ive, been there before a few times…and know how to get around….and there is just not enough time to take it all in, in four hrs…there are about 4 outer space showsthat are amazing.!
In order to show them to us….they use about 37-40 digital computers, and about 8-10 movie projectors……….all this while sipping on some wine,makes for a great space show.!!
Jax, part of the start-ups’ compensation package might involve stock options.
“Last year I gave my self a birthday present…”
solar, does this mean that today (give or take a day) is your birthday and we forgot?
btw, we’ve missed you. or at least i have.
flatus, how are you doing with explorer 10? any glitches?
i’m still without our fancy comment tools (just have noticed a light grey band where they used to be) and still have a dark grey band across gracious host’s name and forehead with those 4 “normals” above and below my “howdy”… also can’t (even if i wanted to) use the emoticons which are still lurking there leering at me.
purple, are you still without?
Flatus,
These are just internships so no big financial incentives. I think the kids just see the future opportunities with the commercial companies instead of the traditional NASA gov’t route.
I can see NASA becoming more like the DOD where most new technology is developed by private companies under contract to the gov’t entity as opposed to developed from within.
I see our prodigal sons returneth. Hmmmm. What might they have been up to??? Were they in on it together?? Get the hot lights out and the Sodium Pentothal or the Budweiser. Or was it Budweiser that was watered down? Maybe some Dos Equis or Tres Equis.
Renee, it wasn’t me who was in a hurry. It was Harry. He just dropped down for quick stop and got stuck there.
Pat,
There was no problem at all with IE10. (I don’t have it on the computer I’m using now.) Did you do find the Action Center icon I mentioned yesterday?
Jax, when you say NASA subcontracting everything I can’t help but think of all the horror stories we’ve had of late. Boeing with it’s 787 Dreamliner where they subcontracted so much, and DoD’s F-35 with all its problems. Some thing’s are better done under one roof under the watchful eye of the tsarina.
Jack… thanks for the info on Blue. Now I won’t worry about her. BTW… I think I’ve given up the best thing for Lent… I’ve given up Lent (insert smiley face).
BlondeW… that is my favorite scene from one of my favorite movies… notice how the people in that movie Congress are only white and male.
Hey Solarman… Mr. Diablito..
I’m on vacation this week in winter wonder land… it’s great to see you back. I’ll have a maragarita tonight in your honor.
flatus, yes thank you.
CC…as per yours of 1:37pm…..somewhat of a debate in old caroline as to whether your space smiley is a gorget or a crescent moon. I always wondered what a piece of armor was doing hanging in the sky over a palmetto tree but who knows?
Pat, did it reveal anything that would give you cause for concern? If yes, why don’t you share those concerns. If not, why don’t you consider updating your installed software by pressing windows update on the lower left of the Action Center screen.

Hi Jax !
Hi Solar !
Hi Whskyjack !
I ‘Hi’d’ you all in alephbetical order, to be fair and balanced. I’m glad to read you all again. Of course, dennis rodman remains the champeen spaceman.
Solar,
WONDERFUL to see you!
Jack
Yes, it has been cold… Oh man, we have had such a warm winter till you brought your cold down.. Normally i would have accused Solar of blowing that cold Chicago air are way, yep, i’m spoiled… Glad you and your wife got away though..
Obama Invites Ryan to Lunch to “Sell ‘Grand Bargain’”

I presume that when their party loses office, the new president will put the trophy in his den over the mantel.
pharaohism is alive and well in Venezuela.
patd, did you see my comment yesterday about trying Firefox or Chrome? Something sounds amiss about your Internet Explorer, which it is known for. Don’t know whether Purple saw my note to him, but his IE version 8 is likely the culprit. Our edit buttons only work in latest IE versions (9 and 10). For anyone running IE 8 or older I’d suggest upgrading or switching.
You could try re-installing your IE 9, Patd, but not confident that’ll help. Guess I’ve made it clear I’m no fan of IE, any version.
The others are easy to download and install, and can import your IE bookmarks if you like:
Firefox
Chrome
Patd,
Thanks for the thoughts, youre great.! No, not my Birthday, not until july, cpl days after Tonys….
Spider gal….what another vacation? Enjoy it and the maragarita, you deserve it all…..
Tony, thanks for the email…..ill give you a call sometime next wk….
Carol, Im not going to drink no stinking watered down budwieser…..going to go with dos XX’s U know me pretty well sister….hope U r doing fine?
Sj, hi-a back to you…..and to all the other tm gangbangers…..
Hello X,……things are fine?
More Space talk:
‘Mars Flows” huh?
……been thinking it over…and maybe I don’t want to live there all that much any more.
In my Solar travels, I ran across a gal pal of mine, almost all of my pals are gals???? any way her name is Zog…..she was just getting back to Mars….by a back way…a way that can’t be seen from earth.
She said that she was nervous to be back home on Mars again….it was a very long time that she spent on Earth. Longer than most Martians made, and she looked forward to a long bath and a glass of ice cold Chlolrine.
It would be good to see her colleagues again, and her children, and her husband…..she caught her self and laughed…..she had been on Earth so long she had even begun to think like a human…she had to get this report right.
Husband indeed, every Martian knew that no Martian had a husband…..there was no such thing as……sex….on Mars….she thought with pride about the report in her knapsack…”life on Earth”: The Reproduction Enigma Solved”…
It was the finest thing that she ever did….no way that she would not get her promotion denied….no matter what…Zag….said.
I was with her a whole week drinking and getting high on Chlorine ( wouldn’t drink that watered down bud, I told her)….any way Big Zag opened the door of Earth study Inc. committee room….
“Zog, this committee has read your report carefully; and are all impressed with it….that is with the possible exception of Miss Zeeg here…..we all agree with your overwhelming case for your hypothesis……
The way that you describe humans using this strange devise call sex….some in the committee are less happy with your conclusion that many of the peculiar facets of the earthling species know as human beings are a consequence of this sex thing: Jealous love, a sense of beauty, male aggression, even what they laughingly call Intelligence…..the committee chuckled at this old joke.
Big Zag looked up from the report, and said that Zog had failed the most important question of all…..his voice dripped sarcasm…..”
WHY”
Zog stammered….what do you mean why? “I mean why do earthlings have sex? Why don’t they clone themselves as we do? Oh Zog said quickly….I tried to answer that question but got no where
I asked some human beings that question…some that have been studying the subject for years, and they did no know. They had a few suggestions, but each persons suggestion was different.
Some said it was a historical accident, some said it was to fend of diseases, some said it was for adapting and evolving faster, other said it was a way for repairing genes…..but basically they did not know.
“Did Not Know” big Zig burst out….did not know? The most essential peculiarity in their whole existence, the most intriguing scientific question anybody has every asked about life on earth, and they did not know……..ZOD….save us….
Going for an ice cold XX after all that zig-zagging…. later
I am your sister Solar.
