Snapshot of the International Space Station

On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image as taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Oh, And Merry Christmas Too.

Friday, December 25th, 2009

First, I want to wish you all Happy Holidays to annoy anyone who is bothered by the phrase Happy Holidays. Their pointless hate gives me strength. (I'm looking at you, Fox News.) Second, I want to wish everyone who doesn't care which phrase I use a Merry Christmas, '09 style.
My wife and I have been [...]

Someone In Need Of Advice…

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

I just received a comment from a lady name Allison who is having trouble harassment from people in her local congregation. I didn’t know if others who frequent this site might have more advice to offer her. Here’s the article she posted to:
This makes me think I need to have a forum where people can [...]

The Atheist Geek’s Harrowing Tale Of Heroism

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

I love this car. If it had tits,
I’d marry it. In a fricking instant!

The scene opens on Middleford Road. It’s 7:20 in the morning and I’m on my way to work. A pickup truck with big tires rumbles out from the bend in the street ahead. Its wheels are nearly as tall as [...]

Hello all. Sorry I haven’t posted recently, but I’ve had some headache problems. I’ve decided to try reading glasses to see if that helps me to spend more time reading and writing. We shall see…

JWD Going Away: Long Live JWR!

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Yes, the Jehovah’s Witness Discussion Forum is leaving us. (!!!) It was the best forum for ex-JEhovah’s Witnesses I’ve ever seen and now … poof … it is going away. I first found our from Moxie’s site the day after I got my computer working again. I immediately began to wonder what could replace it. [...]
