+Rockdoctors Posted June 13, 2002 Posted June 13, 2002 Found a really cool bug with a really interesting goal. Check it out. Its called the VentureStar. Its goal is to go to space and have its picture taken on the Space Station Alpha!!!! I'm tracking this one for sure cause if it mmakes it to space I can say I was part of it. Quote

+Rockdoctors Posted June 14, 2002 Author Posted June 14, 2002 Wow to that one. Its still out there trying to get up then. I'd like to get my hands on that one too. By the way - proud to be a new chartered member. Quote
+Team Hoijong Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 It would be the unbelieveble to see Geocaching go up in space.. I'm will watch the Travel bugs that want to travel to space... I'm sure they will reach space.. the question is when.. can you believe it.. The first travel bug in space.. Irresisti N12º 55.475 E100º 52.865 Quote
Attila Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Maybe you can figure out a way to get a TB instead of just your name. See this. Quote
+Crusso Posted June 14, 2002 Posted June 14, 2002 Could Geocaching Astronauts be far off? See this site: http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/gsfc/technology/issgps/issgps.htm Looks like the GPS is already in place! Actually, I was trying to find a more recent web article which talks about the 4 GPS antennas that were installed in April of this year. (See GPS World magazine, June 2002 for more) So next time you can't find a cache, check the altitude! If it shows 210 miles straight up & moving at a couple thousand miles an hour, you know where your cache is! But don't worry, it'll be back around in an hour and a half! Quote

+Rockdoctors Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 It would be cool for sure. Your right, it could take time though. One of the Astronaughts would have to be into geocaching big time. Imagine if it were you - the day of your takeoff. Are you going to think of some travel bug to throw in your luggage the day you leave. Whats the incentive?? ANy feedback?? I think they would do it if they were already a serious geocacher, or they were doing it for someone with special needs. Quote
