    It should be noted that heat is also disposed of through propulsion. I assume quite a large bit of otherwise waste heat is going out the back along with reaction mass.

    They already ruled out Charon, as Pluto and Charon are tidally locked. There's no tidal forces from Charon, since Pluto revolves at the same rate Charon orbits. (Charoncharoncharoncharoncharon hey charon doesn't sound like a word anymore.)) 2 may have some impact, but while Pluto gets closeR to the sun, it never gets CLOSE to the sun. It shouldn't ever get warm enough for H2O to do anything interesting(as opposed to methane, which does all kinds of cool things during a plutonian summer). Perhaps it got too close to Neptune in the past, but... I'd think that would have disrupted Pluto's orbit terminally.

    And that first picture had ice mountains in it. YOUNG mountains at that. Pluto apparently has active geology. I think I speak for everyone when I say "WHAT." That's just so far outside the bounds of expectations, what CAN you say to it? The thing's not big enough to have internal heat still, it's not near Jupiter to power this with tidal forces, there's no reason we can figure at first glance why there should be the energy to move mountains, but... mountains. What can you say to that but "WHAT."?

    I find it an amusing touch that Satellizer's tan matches the original bikini and not the one that ships with the tanned statue.

    You chose wisely. Thrust is awesome, but he's no Shockwave.

    As I recall, Saban backed off the Power Rangers thing because of the huge wall of fan outrage that hit them like a giant tidal wave. Harmony Gold doesn't care about fan outrage, though.

    Oh. I thought they were ALL pewter. Lame.

    I think you mean shitty unpainted mini PEWTER models for a board game!

    Given the franchise, it'd be surprising if she wasn't.

    Basically, if you're too vague to be legally safe, you aren't making a fan movie anymore. Do what you want, screw the rules, stick it to the man!

    Filming begins in November, more focus on the kaiju, more kaiju vs yaeger action hell yes want now.

    From a practical standpoint, I'm not sure why you'd want to. Outside of an airshow, it'd just be a good way to get a lot of planes blown up.

    Less money than actual props and prosthetics would, though.

    And there goes closest approach. New Horizons is now PAST Pluto. And onwards to the next Kuiper Belt object(after taking enough pictures to keep the connection occupied for sixteen months)!
  15. JB0
    No, no, New Horizons launched during the Bush administration, not Obama. You're too far ahead on the blame game.

    Apparently, we're gonna be pulling down photos for a year after this. Since it's a 3kbit connection. Apparently, it's hard to get good internet a few billion miles from Earth.

    Yeah, that shocked me. He was not an old man by any stretch, and I hadn't heard anything about health issues before now, so it seemed to come out of nowhere. And the GameBoy creator, and the guy that taught Miyamoto the ropes, and... It's actually hard to overstate how important Gunpei Yokoi is to Nintendo's history.

    In just a pair of sunglasses?

    I do hope they finally resolve the longest dangling plot thread in the franchise's history...

    Well, because it DOES feature humans of several recognized modern subsets of homo sapiens. And it's a big galaxy, there's plenty of room for more. It's not like she's saying the Skywalkers should be retconned into an ancient ninja clan.

    I was born in 81, my firt Star Wars memory is some vague snippet of the Ewoks cartoon.

    Even as a kid, I had trouble accepting Stars' End, the building, taking off like a rocket. To the extent that it's pretty much the only thing I remember from the book, because it overshadowed EVERYTHING.
  24. JB0
    Gurren-Lagann. Yes, the internet overhypes it. Yes, there's a huge tone shift at the halfway point. Whether the show gets better or worse there is a subject of debate. Yes, it's totally worth your time.
  25. JB0
    Welp, that's definitely cooler than Stars' End. Also less ridiculous.
