These are in one of my tanks, some of them are around a month old now, but new one's keep appearing. They seem very happy in there They are Dalmatian Mollies.

As if we didn't need any more proof that Virgin Media is right at the cutting edge of internet connection speed, now they have successfully reached a new high of 240 times faster than the British average, reaching an eye opening 1.5Gb/s (gigabits per second).

I can remember when they were testing much slower speeds and once the test was successful it didn't take that long for it to reach their customers.

Good on ya Virgin, keep pushing BT into oblivion

NASA has a new Mars rover called MSL-Curiosity which is being sent to the red planet this November.

It should get there some time in 2012. Details here.

It appears this rover will have a nuclear battery rather than solar panels. I've not heard the term nuclear battery before. Normally called a thermal reactor (it's what is in the Voyager and Pioneer craft) but I guess they don't like the reactor bit so have changed the name.

Here we can post videos from YouTube that we as a community think are nonsense and just plain stupid, maybe even propaganda, lets see how it goes.

Next meet at Snetterton on 7th Aug.

Found this vid of the Shuttle Atlantis doing the last RBAR pitch maneuver. This is to take photos of the underside to check for damage.


I so want to be in space just not so sure of the 'travelling to' bit.
Like I'll ever get the chance but hey, some people only dream with their heads in the clouds. I think they're setting their sights too low.
