At one million kilometers far from here, your telescope "HUBBLE" can't see a missile even if it was one kilometer long.
NASA PHOTOSHOP should belie my opinions.




V, please educate yourself before you again spew your narrow minded views. Your verbal diahrea is digging you deeper into a hole, while your credibility as an intellegent person dwindls faster than I can type. Now I know that no one wants to read this information, but I can't sit idle as you flounder through life. The current documented visual range of the Hubble space telescope is twelve billion light years. Compared to that one million killometers is just about insignifigant. The closest star to earth is 24,000,000,000,000 miles (38,000,000,000,000 kilometers) To measure great distances as these, the unit of light years are used. A light year is the distance that light can travel in a year. Light travels at 186.000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second) or 186,000 miles/second X 60 seconds/minute X 24 hours/day X 365 days/year. That equals 5,865,696,000,000 miles/year which is the total distance of one light year. Now........multiply that by twelve billion. And no, the HST cannot see the Apollo landing site. The mirrors in the HST are calibrated to view images at great distances. The moon is so close that it cannot focus on something in that short range. So do me a favor and one day after you tire of playing your simulator games on the computer, do take advantage of its capabilities along with the vast amount of data at your disposal on the internet and research before you make any more statements. Now that you can belie on. Uncontrolably yours, Joe

re: cumn thru

Sure you can see galaxies at that distance but he mentioned a size 1 km long. It seems to me there is a difference in the order of magnitude of the sizes here, don't you agree?

But, sorry to say Vittorio I have not benefitted from this topic. How I did learn about 3D was go to my field, watch ask questions, then come onto this forum, read, ask a few more questions. Suffice to say doing that I have now learned a great deal.

Status: offline 		I stand corrected then!

I've been busy for a while and haven't kept up with this site, but that this thread is still live amazes me.

All I've got to say is that I enjoy flying and thus I enjoy practicing. I've got to wonder............if you don't like to practice flying.........what are you in this hobby for? Because, once you do master 3D are you just going to give up on the hobby? Or are you going to practice the manuevers you already master? For me that would be boring. The thing that I like about practicing is that you are constantly challenging yourself. This makes the hobby fun. If I were to be struck by lightning or become enlightened in some way and become a real 3D god, the challenge in the hobby would be gone.

So, what does this hobby mean to you, IT flyer?

Maybe if you answer this we can provide some clearer answers.

Status: offline 		What he is trying to say Vittorio is that you will belive anything, you do not take time to consider the facts, nor do you listen to the other side of the story. The program may have said this and that, but you have not heard what NASA have to say about the matter.

You haven't understood anything of what I've said again and again.

Please read again from pag. 1

I have no time to waste. Try to understand. It's not very difficult.

HOVERING AND TORQUE ROLLING ARE VERY DIFFICULT.

Status: offline 		Vittorio, do you realize how stupid you are making yourself out to be?

Hovering and Torque Rolling are not very difficult...you're just slow.

Nothing is difficult if you get up off your lazy, cowardly ass and practice it.

You are putting too much emphasis on this, you wuss.

I'm glad that I have not contributed to your stupidity.

Why are you so afraid to crash a $99.00 plane, cheapo.

Is it because you are jealous that the USA is more advanced than your country?

Deel with it, tightwaad!

Marcus, you have summed it up in one simple paragraph. Explore the unknown, take a leap of faith, try, try again. Joe
