+ECplus3 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 GC1BE91- International Space Station Though the cache description lists Kazakhstan, the coords put it on the Nova Scotia side of the Northumberland Strait. It's only 420 km away from me. Unfortunately, 400 km of that is straight up. Quote Link to comment

+northernpenguin Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 there's a couple more threads already about this cache can always use a giant catapult Maybe we can get Ottawa to build a Space Elevator at the posted co-ordinates. Great for the Economic Action Plan.... Quote Link to comment

+Juicepig Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 would suck trying to clear that off the closest to home list.. Wonder why he put it there as opposed to the middle of the ocean, or the Cosmodrome in Kazak? Quote Link to comment

That may be where the ISS was when he took his coords, while the location is for the cosmodrome where he lifted off. Quote Link to comment

Great for the Economic Action Plan.... Sorry - No can do. We can't even build LRT, let alone some sort of fancy space elevator... Quote Link to comment

Cosmodrome: N45° 51.569 E 63° 18.802 GC1BE91: N 45° 57.309 W 063° 21.017 Looks like the cache owner can't tell the difference between East and West. Quote Link to comment

Very nice observation! Looks like the listing is locked, so any criticism (or log entries) can't actually be made. No doubt just a public relations bonus Groundspeak can brag about next time they are interviewed Quote Link to comment
