Yeah last time we named a space-thing Eris, Pluto stopped being a planet. Maybe it's a bad idea.
“She’ll be right!”
Went farther than Ranger 1 did.
New audio/text meme format dropped:
OK
we're going
we're going
we're going
it's going
it's going
it's going
it's going
OHH OK
it's hovering
it's hovering
it's hovering
it's hovering
it's gone!
It's gone!
OHH NO
it didn't go
Once again:
The Simpsons already did it.
Sounds like an episode of ED in a cold winter night.
Keep at it.
They overcomplicate it by using rocket engines. They should just released the ground harness and let it fall into space.
Engine start, hold down clamps released, cleared the launch tower (juuust), I give this rocket launch 3.5/10, definite room for improvement.
A crashing success?
so proud 💪 Was hoping to head up to Bowen but unfortunately it's just a bit too far:
I drove back from Cairns to Victoria point in one hit once. 22 hours I think. Ex wife drove all of 90 minutes of it. Only stopped for fuel. I was quite a Zombie by the time we got back. Do not recommend, would not do again.
wow! I've done Melbourne - Townsville in two days but that was with two drivers. And I thought that was bonkers
Well that certainly was bonkers I agree.
I've done Melbourne to Brisbane over two days and that was me driving a four Cylinder four speed Holden Sunbird. That was in 1998 before lots of the motorways were built ( I think, or at least bypasses )
Oh no! Not even the six cylinder full Torrie UC? Not awesome. I have done a lot of miles in an old sandman and that was made for highways
Well I had just got back from travelling Africa for five months so it was a breeze in comparison. But yeah I hear you. And nice, a Sandman. Betcha wish you still had that baby.
Yeah it was mighty.
