hi arco, very much appreciate all your posts, i see your flying solo at the moment.
im a bit out of action at the moment as im studying for exams but still make time to read your posts.

Hi DB

Yes, I thought ST had become my personal blog

Anyway, if I ever get to 10,000 posts I might retire and leave you and Peat in charge.

Thanks for posting and good luck with the exams. Presume these are financial advisor exams ?

I saw nothing of the markets the entire time, and I've been told thats not a bad thing but I'm not so cool with it.

Cant believe how cheap wireless internet is in Aussie. reckon I should be trading with the laptop over there while simultaneously bbqing a sausage on the redcliffe parade.

On final approach, the shepherding spacecraft and Centaur will separate. The Centaur will act as a heavy impactor to create a debris plume that will rise above the lunar surface. Projected impact at the lunar South Pole is currently: Oct 9, 2009 at 4:30 a.m. PDT. Following four minutes behind, the shepherding spacecraft will fly through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before impacting the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume.

The debris plumes are expected to be visible from Earth- and space-based telescopes 10-to-12 inches and larger.

I think thats just after midnight tonight NZT

Here's a quote from one of the "moon bombing" team, Brian Day of NASA: "Remember, we've never done this before. We're not 100% sure what will happen, and big surprises are possible." This has to be the stupidest NASA mission ever

yes thats exactly what I was obliquely referring to
I'd seen a thread on another forum about that
and Stratfor have been saying that there have been leaks suggesting that Iran is way more down the path of having a nuclear bomb than everyone supposed.
