[quote:Reality420:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ2MTUyODM4Xzc0MUFEQURE] Excellent and informative thread - 5* [quote:K Hall:MV8yNTk4OTk2XzQ2MDk1NjQ4X0EyQkU2NzBE] Is electric comet a deliberate scam ? <snip a lot of good stuff> Moving on to the Philae landing we had a prediction on the thuderblogs site that said that ESA would find the landing to be tricky, that was it, no mention of electricity as far as I remember. Unfortunately that long blog entry seems to have been deleted now but we are left with some other predictions, namely: [i]"The presence of unexpected electric fields within the coma and/or close to the comet nucleus, possibly even disrupting the anticipated landing on the surface. This could occur on or after touch down because the sharp metallic edges of the spacecraft make an ideal focus for a diffuse plasma discharge, which would disrupt communications and possibly interfere with spacecraft electronics."[/i] David Talbott and Wallace Thornhill http://www.thunderbolts.info/wp/latest-tblog/ [b]That's it ??[/b] Communications may be disrupted, something which happens all the time to spacecraft such as Rosetta and Philae. Not all of the electronics may work perfectly ? Has there ever been a mission where they did. What the hell happened to the thousand of km long plasma discharges that would blast the spacecraft to atoms. Where are the wandering arcs that burn the surface black and vaporise the rock to make craters ?? Why haven't the electronics been fritzed by these electric discharges weeks ago. [b]Why are the electric universe predictions of the effects on Philae so weak as to be the same as we would expect if there was no such thing as an electric comet ? In other words exactly the same problems that ESA believe they may face with no mention of devastating and destructive lightning bolts leaping from the surface to obliterate the spacecraft![/b] If you have turned over some of your money to these people are you f***ing furious, because I would be. K [/quote] Yep. That's it. That's all they've ever offered pre-event. They aren't very good at [i][b]pre[/b][/i]diction, but they are crackerjack at [b][i]post[/i][/b]diction as described by your recap of the Deep Impact mission where DI wasn't destroyed by Giant Space Welding Arcs™. This time they are predicting 'Something New Will Be Found'™ and if it is and it involves the words "new", "unusual", "unknown", "electric", "magnetic", etc. they will declare VICTORY. Why, it may even involve troubles in the mission. If there are any troubles in the mission, they will declare VICTORY™ because they predicted them. Transmitter failure? - EC Victorious! Computer glitch? - EC Victorious! Any failure or glitch? - EC Victorious! Giant Space Welding Arcs™? ... errrrrr, ignore that one. I mean, it's not like the Rosetta Mission was sent to a comet to discover something new, was it? Scientists already know everything about comets. They never expect to find anything New™. All those instruments are on there only for the weight. The Rosetta mission wasn't sent to discover anything new, it is just scientist's way of wasting a pile of excess budget monies giving a lot of expensive hardware a nice vacation trip to a comet. It takes real Outside-the-Box Thinkers like the Thunderdolts to predict Something New Will Be Discovered as, obviously, the mainstream scientists are oblivious to this possibility. Have fun. R. kOOks lie. Constantly. It's part of the job description. [/quote]
Original Message
I want to use this thread to highlight news from the Rosetta comet mission.
Ten years ago the European Space Agency ( ESA ) launched the Rosetta comet chaser to rendezvous with comet 67P, go into orbit around it and land a probe on its surface.
120 Icy Patches - by last September

- There are
hundreds
thousands of images from Rosetta, this post will always point to the most recent NAVCAM or OSIRIS picture. Updated several times per week. ( Thanks F-BVFA )

When the Rosetta mission is complete we will know so much more about comets, their composition and formation. Comets have been a cause of fear and fascination throughout human history, within the next few months many long standing mysteries will be solved.
