Yeah, that's the actual space-exploration. Up to the satellites and
then back to Earth. :-(
You gotta start somewhere, space exploration is still in it's infancy.


In its infancy? It has had its day - it's finished.


What? How can you say that when we send up probes like crazy? It ain't
finished.


Space exploration probes? Virtually nothing. compare what is going on
now to what was happening in the seventies, and you will realise that
it is indeed dead, even if the corpse is still twitching slightly.

You can't be serious.
We can only percieve ~3% of what is in the universe.
And it may not even be *that* much.


What has that got to do with the fact that we have tried space
exploration, and it is simply too expensive and too pointless to do?
We are now using near space for trivial purposes, and we are rapidly
filling it with too much junk to risk astronauts being up there. The
shuttle is flying fewer and fewer missions, and they are ever harder
to justify.

Face it, space exploration was a thing of the twentieth century - not
the twenty-first.

Hi Romeo!



Gallileo, GPS, HDTV, Spionage Sats, Rocket-aimer etc etc etc....


Well, some sats are o.k., like Eumetsat and other World-climate
observing sats. But if you think straight logical, they are unnecessary
as well, or would have been unnecessary... :-)
Homo Antecessor, Heidelbergensis, Neanderthalensis and Sapiens a bit
later, have lived for 700,000y, met many Ice-ages etc.. Why would we
not survive, w/o observing sats!?
I MEAN, the observing side of sat-tech (mil, of course) is itching my
Ass.

Now the next telecommunication sats are rocketed up to space, and the
next, and the next.



A new Hubble telescope (greater than 2.4Meter) on the moon would be a
forward space endeveaour.
Com-sats (especially obeserver sats) are plain crap for me. Existent
Terrestric lines, wires and waves should reach... Rest is digital crap,
only useful for long distance data-transmit (probes crap).

The ol' 'Hasselblad' mid-format analog pictures of the
sixties/seventies space-endeavours are much better quality, and such
cams are not really heavy or clunky, when compared to the space-suit
you need :-)
Not to mention the old recordings of rocket-starts (slow motion). Much
better quality than today recordings. Also the background music to such
pictures was much better than the today bip-bop bip-bop bip-bop tam ta
da techno crap (deep purple, santana and many other great accoustic
artists of that Time).

Also the new, so called, space music is a sleeping pill with a
repetetive character (sampler stuff). No new music, no new endeavours
;-)


Best regards,

Daniel Mandic

Hi Richard!


Maybe it is and we see the expansion, yet.


Ppl are preparing for the sun-system exploration (new-quality iron on
mars, fuel on jupiter and/or Saturn, mysterious ressources on Merkur
and Venus and probably some other living intelligencies around Neptun
or Uranus.)

Well, o.k, but I do not see so. Important is what makes fast money, and
that is com-sats, going fast back to Earth ;-).


And when will it be used, that all new com tech???

Regular mobilization (Car, planes, ships etc.) is just increasing.
I see no developing!

It's just used in combination. Let's say a crap navigation system in a
big fuel consuming all-terrain car, living in a town.


Double standards....



Best regards,

Daniel Mandic

The intention was to make a track that sounds like you are sitting
on the porch of a bungalow by the river listening to the rain and the
low roar of the swollen river. The result is better than what I have
bought in stores, but not quite up to what I would like it to be,
still a bit too repetitive.

There's a real shape to a rain event. You need to capture the sense of
an arc of 15 or more minutes. It really ebbs & flows, just like a
composition. That's why I never loop this sort of thing. You need to
maintain the linear shape of it.

I was at the Fort Worth Stockyards on the day that the planes
started
flying again after 9/11. It was strange watching all the people look
up
into the sky. After not hearing planes for sometime, actually hearing
the plane was strange, they all just stared. Very surreal.

Surreal was standing in the middle of 7th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan
& looking uptown, then downtown & seeing not a single vehicle, knowing
I could probably stay right there in the middle of the street for 5
minutes before I might have to move out of the way for a passing
emergency vehicle. Surreal was seeing F15 interceptors flying low over
a major American urban center.
