The drizzle continues to drizzle. Our local water supply dam has risen 10% in the last fortnite to 65%. These days it supplies not just Lismore and it's villages, but also Byron Gay, Ballina, Alstonville, Kyogle and the rest of the Richmond valley. Nimbin isn't counted as their water is mixed 50/50 with oil of hashish, and Casino likewise isn't counted as nobody lives there since they cancelled beef week. It's now about lunchtime, with the family not back from church and myself having not been called back for ultrascounge so far today. Managed to make the kitchen produce sushi, a couple of vegetable pies and a pot of cob corn. All vegan except for the occasional ant driven in by the rain.
Saw this page buried deep somewhere in the Nasa site and had an instant mind block as to the reason for the differing lunar impact angles (from the horizontal) of the Saturn upper stage and the LMs. I think I have it sorted now. Standing on the moon and seeing Cernan's SIVB smack it the ground nearby at 2.55 km/s (over 9000 km/hr) would be cool, but seeing the golden LM - a work of art - coming in at 6000 km/hr only 5deg off a flat trajectory... make you cry. I don't think it would skip like a stone, even in 1/6th G; I reckon it would decompile into it's component parts in a great long smear.
