Well, this is completely ridiculous IMHO - people elbowing each other out of the way to reach the summit ... so disrespectful ... https://mg.co.za/article/2019-05-28-00-everest-traffic-jam-survivor-calls-for-tougher-rules
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - Ruby - 28-05-2019
All the recent Rocketman talk made me think of the Flat Earth Society and this, which is year old news now but still mind boggling! His rocket/s are covered in Juan Pollo branding – a chain of chicken restaurants, lol!! Oh well – it’s close-ish to aPollo - hilarious! (And he’s worried that his story might bring out all the nutcases!!) https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/rockets/a19587128/self-taught-rocket-scientist-blasts-off/ - and newer news re the next escapade - https://www.phillyvoice.com/flat-earth-movements-rocket-man-will-share-details-antarctica-launch-vegas-conference/
And other more current news - that the earth’s atmosphere is bigger than was previously believed, which puts a different spin on any number of things – https://www.sciencealert.com/earth-s-atmosphere-is-so-big-that-it-actually-engulfs-the-moon
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - CRAZY-HORSE - 28-05-2019
I loved the final sentence in the article about the atmosphere:
QUOTE: You know what's even more interesting? That means no human being has ever actually been outside of Earth's atmosphere. Guess we've got some work to do…

Now here's one remarkable guy. From the summit of Everest to the summit of Lhotse to the summit of Makalu in 60 HOURS!!!!! Unheard of.

awesome achievement!

You learn something every day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antikythera_mechanism
RE: I read the news today, oh boy! - CRAZY-HORSE - 01-06-2019
^^
I actually watched a documentary about the Antikythera Mechanism just a few weeks ago...
just makes you wonder how many more incredibly brilliant ingenious things from the Ancient World that are yet to be discovered!
another Mass Shooting in the US...

I am sure there are lots of things to be rediscovered....many people think people of the past were more primitive than we are today but, that is not true. There were equally intelligent maybe more so ......sadly we have lost much of what they discovered and learnt.

Just a head's up for the regulars here. I will be away for a couple of months. See you when I return. Keep the flag flying and all that stuff. Au revoir!
