And... where is the pilot?

One of the photos in my office is of a launch as seen from space.

Yes, I've seen one from the ISS on Discovery launch.  cool stuff

[dwight]

There was a proposal to remote drive the lrv to the next planned landing zone and televise the next j landing: as put forth by Dr Farooq el Baz.

Which has me wondering what the shortest distance is between two actual landing sites.

I'd say 12 & 14 at around 180 km

I imagine obm, could help there, I don't have anything installed to either measure or calculate the distances between 15 16 and/or 17

You best me to it, but it should be 15,16 or 17 with the rovers

I'd say 12 & 14 at around 180 km

Don't move the goalposts

I suppose also that it was a plan for one of the cancelled missions? It's not something I've come across before, but what a cool idea!

Google Moon (ie Google Earth and switch to the moon view) is all you need

Just the correct ones.  I don't have it installed, lap is out of memory with all I have running.

If you estimate 180 km 12/14 I would estimate 700 km 14/16 WSW maybe a bit more.

Good grief, this is desperate stuff. Tarkus has gone through the bottom of the barrel with this one.

[Sus_pilot]

We are all familiar with what it means to drive a car, truck and all kinds of carriages ...

Sigh, this isn't really worth entertaining is it? Tarkus, your arguments really are flimsy. There isn't a picture of me anywhere that shows me at the wheel of my car, but there is plenty of evidence proving that I have driven my car.

Come to think of it, there a vanishingly few pictures of me teaching student pilots to fly.  Does that mean the FAA has to revoke their certificates because there's no evidence?

Oh god, it's solipsism all they way down, I knew it. Or did I?

Ha! No doubt, however, our 'friend' tarkus will barrel into some new claim. It's not like he's stopped before!
I was going to write a  rebuttal when this topic showed up, but I was too exhausted by his antics to give a flying fudge.
