aginsa Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Suff You Should Know Podcast Anyone else listen to the Stuff You Should Know podcast about doomsday vaults? At one point they were discussing the locations of doomsday vaults and how they were not published. They made a joke that if someone found out the locations they would turn them into big geocahces and all the seedbanks would be replaced with swag. ROFL. Pretty funny. Quote Link to comment

The only doomsday vaults I know of are all in remote northern locations here and in Europe.... Not many nearby caches.... Quote Link to comment
+DragonsWest Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 As far as I knew the Moon and Jupiter (plus likely Saturn) have been protecting Earth for millenia. They've accumulated a lot of bits floating around in space thus saving Earth. Now we can take care of ourselves, we best get some plans going to guide threats away from our little ball of rock. Methinks these Doomsday Vaults aren't Lock & Locks or Ammo Cans. Quote Link to comment

It was the presence of this extra-large moon that gave life a chance to flourish on earth. By that virtue, it already created humanity -- why should it save humanity? Onward and upward with evolution. Quote Link to comment

No doubt just sneaking away, trying to distance itself from all of us posting in this forum. Anyway, as to the problem of reception - now that Google Earth (?) has the moon covered as well as Mars, will gc.com relent on using those facilities to place a cache in lieu of a GPSr??? Then we've got the problem of Admins... What do we say if they ask us whether we received permission for the cache? "Yes, we approached the local little green man, and after he helped himself to all of the good stuff in the ammo can we left behind, deigned to allow us to leave the can". Quote Link to comment
knowschad Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Before we get too far carried away with this mooncaching business... can somebody let us all know who the land manager is? Are there any street lights there yet? If not... when? And since it is so much smaller than Earth, will we still be bound to the 528' rule? Quote Link to comment

+bittsen Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) http://news.yahoo.com/s/space/20100129/sc_...onof2010tonight Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon. This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion that hungry wolves howled at the full moon on cold winter nights. Each month brings another full moon name. But why will this moon be bigger than others? Here's how the moon works: The moon is, on average, 238,855 miles (384,400 km) from Earth. The moon's orbit around Earth – which causes it to go through all its phases once every 29.5 days – is not a perfect circle, but rather an ellipse. One side of the orbit is 31,070 miles (50,000 km) closer than the other. (and I was mistaken earlier when I said the moon was moving away at 4 feet per year. It's actually 4cm) Edited January 30, 2010 by bittsen Quote Link to comment
+Ambrosia Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I was so excited to see the big moon tonight. But it was pretty dark out, so I was concerned. I went out on the back deck and looked for the moon, and finally found a dim little glow above me. I realized that it was cloudy and snowing a bit. Sure, I howled at the moon. I yelled, "Oh, NOZE!!!!!!!". Quote Link to comment
