Debunker Talk LIVE Chat 24/7 - A debunker's paradise!!

Aw didums, all upset nancy doesnt come here anymore??

(bet 7832910 is a Toowoomba boy, thats where most of our nancy nutters come from)

dang!!..max....u are still with us ...keep fighting'...

What never existed cannot be destroyed (i.e., you never had any credibility to begin with).

Also, you cannot prepare for something that doesn't exist.

There is only one thing that Nancy is good at...finding the gullible and ignorant people of this world.

Other than that talent, she knows nothing else.

Off topic...another lovely sunny day in paradise for me. I think I'll go take a walk on the beach. I should have it all to myself today...it's only 64°F so there shouldn't be anyone other than those fishing today.

To many zeroes on that count. Try 10 pages of crap (Max's posts).

Freezing your ass off today Max? It's in the mid 60's today on the Space Coast.

Another space coaster here?

Yeppers. Working a contract gig in the area.

Can't wait until January 20, 2012 - I may take the day off if I'm working (I work a 9/80 schedule) to watch a launch. Never have seen one except from extreme distance (saw a shuttle launch from the top of the hanger in Savannah, GA many months ago).

January 20th? I think the one you're referring to is currently set for the 19th.

Just a heads-up. I hope you get to see it close up, it's much better than distant viewing.

WTF are you whining about now? Such typical behavior from woo-woos.

Busy looking for the next failed doomsday prediction.

EXACTLY! +100

Sounds like your mind was made up before you truly examined her claims.

No, you do that on your own. You don't need us.

to quote melfy



Never seen a launch, nor am I ever likely to

:-(

That would be an experience of a lifetime......

But you have to admit Circuit Breaker, it IS fun watching him try and squirm his way out of it each time...

3 days to the end of the year....and Hap should get his steak soon!

Unlike Nancy, Harold Camping has decided to quit while he's ahead:

Dont know if it's quite `while hes ahead' CB

He's already had to sell 2 of the radio stations to cover to funding shortfalls of his 2011 `predictions' and another 3 are in the pipeline

He spent over 100 million in advertising and with extrapolated 2011 earnings (2010 and 2011 earnings apparently haven't been filed yet, at least not publicly) he looks to have spent pretty much every cent they had available to them. Even IF he had a sudden spike in earnings from the two failed prediction dates, they would still be very cash strapped without major spending cuts

Quite interesting really, they have had themselves a nice little earner since 1958, it wasnt until the late 1990's that it started its decline (interestingly the same time that most of the board members resigned, leaving Camping in charge) and all throughout the 2000's it has been operating at a loss. Its income has increased and decreased, but always the operating costs were higher than the income (strangely almost always by the same ratio)

Future of it??

Possibly it might get bought out wholey by a rival network, or what is happening currently is being broken up piece by piece to cover yearly operational costs until it declares bankrupcy...

Save for a trip up here to Florida for a launch, I guarantee it'd be worth it if you appreciate spaceflight. Of course, there's always the risk of scrubs and delays with any launch, but even in the worst case scenario, we still have some great spaceflight museums and attractions up here. One of those museums is run by a group of volunteers who are mostly retired space center employees and let me tell you, I could hang out there all day just shooting the breeze with some of those guys and listening to their stories.

I'd love to, but I must say, short of me winning the lottery, it's doubtful I will ever have the time or money to make that trip

I got burned by a scrub on a night shuttle launch a couple years ago...drove down from Savannah and at an ungodly hour in the morning, they scrubbed the launch.

At least now I'm less than a hour's drive from the Cape.

Yeah, it's always a roll of the dice with these things. I'd usually grab a spot on the river the night before a launch, but even if it was ultimately scrubbed I was always in good company while waiting. I'm going to miss those days.

People still come for the rocket launches, but not nearly as many and it's just not the same; usually if they're from out of state or out of country it's not like they planned their trip to catch the launch, they just heard about it while they were here and happened to stop by. Back in the day it was a magnet for die hard space enthusiasts, now it's just a weaker magnet for whoever happens to hear about it. Not saying the company's not great, but in my experience the dynamic is changed; now I'm about the only one who's still crazy enough to haul a big ass scope down to the river hours before a launch.

Got to see the final launch of the Space Shuttle, and wrote about it here:

Glad to see the debunkers going strong.

I'm definitely going to haul the DSLR and one of my zoom lenses with me to the launch. It's night launch and it should make for some good photos.

Zetas Wrong Again!

GA accident, fatality rates down in 2010

General aviation accidents and fatalities declined in 2010 for the fourth consecutive year, according to National Transportation Safety Board data released this month.

In total number, the 1,435 GA accidents marked a 20-year low, even as estimated total flight hours began to climb for the first time since the Great Recession began. There were 450 GA accident fatalities in 2010, down from 478 in 2009.

There's just one thing to say....

But how can this be so, with the 7 of 10 well advanced, half of Indonesia and Asia underwater, the plates rocking and rolling, she said the planes would be dropping from the skies like flies (hey Im a poet and didnt even know it) and just look at the nings list of plane crashes.....


It's all a media/government coverup I tells ya.....



(/irony)

I sadly missed the final launch due to a last minute problem at work, but on the flip side it drove me to push the envelope on tracking it with the telescope so that I could at least say I saw the final mission. I was actually cheering when they stopped the clock at -31 seconds, only to get let down when they picked up the count again. Glad to hear you got tickets to see it launch from the visitor center, that's something I never did despite growing up in Titusville.
