Stopping in space

[Valen is my name]

well i'm doing maths at A level next year so i'll let you know then if i'm a real man

The fact that we all do gaming and come from this background tells us a lot about who we all are. We need only look at a mirror.

That's a terrifying thought, in my case. Way to wreck a weekend.

Sorry - no big brain here!!!

not sure if that is good or bad! :?

 

[Sulfurdown]

........ I'm scared.......

Feh, pansies the lot of you!

I spent 2 years at Luton skipping lectures in favour of getting smashed all day and playing Halo til 4 a.m.

I knew that games Multiplayer maps inside out and was the deadliest mofo in Luton!

I need no degree, I have pwnage!

... and playing Halo til 4 a.m.

B is for Punch!

"No seriously, I'm a 'Medic' class!" - FYI Respawn <> Heal. I will never fully trust that friend again.

Maybe you had to be there....

[EDIT: I'd like to apologize for how off topic I'm getting...)

Only button I use

I often stayed up til 4am playing Quake... I was the CTF master flag-runner! I couldn't shoot straight but give me a flag and I'd get it home every time :lol:

 

[Da Boss]

Can't play them games - but give me GTA or Lara And I am loving it..........

Nah, I was the Driver. Bit of sniper cover from a team mate and I'd have a Warthog into the enemy bunker, have the flag and be driving home again before those blue gits I'd run over had a chance to respawn lol

Damn I miss original Halo Multiplayer. BloodGulch CTF FTW!

Well, I'm sure its providing a mechanic where you've set yourself up in geosynchronous (sp?) orbit.

Chern

Geosynchronous or Geostationary? The second being a special case of the first.

BeStationary is a relative term anyway, depends on your frame of reference.

LBH

Lol. shows how useless a Physics GCSE is, i took my exam this morning and have never even heard of geosynchronous or bestationary, only geostationary. are they similar?

there was a bit on orbits but there was one long question about the advantages and disadvantages of CCTV! how is that physics? :?

BEStationary was a type, Stationary is a relative term.

As for my spaceflight mechanics crdentials, I studied 2 undergraduate courses in 3rd and 4th year of my degree in Spaceflight Dynamics (all that were available), and did my Masters project placement at the European Space Agency in the Netherlands looking into autonomous orbit determination using startracker images.

so how many letters have you got after your name with all that lot?

 

[lastbesthope]

All that lot contributed to 9 of them, 4 for my degree, and 5 from an institute membership level I can get because of my degree.

But more importantly, because of what I did when I worked for the ESA, I am a bonafide rocket scientist.

:lol:

Bristol Sewing Club doesn't give you a BSc.

 

[Valen is my name]

does LBH know that sewing isn't rocket science? all that hard work just to be able to sew
