Fri 01-14-2005:
First Hour: Planetary Scientist David Grinspoon will talk about the Huygens Probe landing on Saturn's moon, Titan. Richard C. Hoagland of Enterprise Mission will weigh in on this in the 2nd hour, followed by Open Lines.

I'm certain Hoagland will provide his unique insight about the newly released images today from the Saturn moon Titan!

You can bet on it. This should be good.

Here's one interesting Titan image, plenty of anomolies are visible!

This raw image was returned by the ESA Huygens DISR camera after the probe descended through the atmosphere of Titan. It shows the surface of Titan with ice blocks strewn around. The size and distance of the blocks will be determined when the image is properly processed.

Meanwhile on Mars, the rover Opportunity took a pic of a metallic looking object!

Hoagland is gonna have a lot to say tonight. Wish he had more than an hour.

Thomas, when Hoagland comes on - lets all fast blast George at that time to keep him on longer than one hour, sometimes he responds to such requests!

Anomolies? How so?
Howdy folks. :)

Check out that strange object a little left of center - I'm sure the Great Hoagland will enlighten us on the strange nature of it! I'm eagerly looking forward to hearing it!

It's that rock that Charlie Brown kept getting in his bag on Halloween.
Some kind of cosmic signification. :D

The scientist told George Titan doesn't have any ROCKS! So for once, they won't tell Hoagland "its just a rock"

Good evening Skosh, glad someone could join me.

BadBoy
01-15-2005, 01:56 AM
Now this is a true scientist - very open-minded! I wish there was many more like him!

Shecoda
01-15-2005, 01:59 AM
Yes BadBoy, I really like his open minded attitude. I get tired of scientists who are so narrow minded they won't even consider a possibility of something other than what has been proven scientifically.

Captain Kundalini
01-15-2005, 02:02 AM

How could Titan not have any rocks.
BTW, was just kiddin' around with the "Charie Brown" remark. :wave:

No, now they will tell him it is just ice. :D

Hoagland says he is working on a big story for George next week! Richard claims he is beginning to think Titan was terra-formed!!

Thomas Veil

Oh, Richard's holding out on us. Good news is it sounds like we will hear him again next week.

Captain Kundalini

(Startled!) That's impossible! We simply don't have that kind of technology and besides, the atmosphere of Titan (or lack thereof) is poisonous to Hum...I mean, us.

Hoagland didn't say who did the terra-forming billions of years ago!

I used to wonder if maybe Hoagland was a little bit crazy, but now I know it for a fact. Titan was terraformed in the distant past? I suppose Titan lies at a 19.5-degree angle to something in hyperdimensional physics, too.... and NASA will be censoring the REAL images from the Huygens probe.... and the Super-Intelligent Mollusks in the Seas of Europa are monitoring all of our internet posts, and trying to figure out why the Humans of Terra are so gullible...

Terra meaning earth. What happened to the atmosphere? And the Terra forming?

I was wondering when somebody else was going to get it besides me. :D

The Octopoids of Europa are wondering about that, too -- and I think they're worried about Earth.

BadBoy

Hoagland isn't crazy, he just has a wild imagination - that has proven correct many times in the past! Like his theory decades ago about Europa having water oceans under its ice cover. That was ridiculed until recently.

That's one of the things he's hit on. I know for a fact that there is some truth in what he's saying. He's missed too on occasions. He's been attacked and misled in the past few years too. If he wasn't right on some of what he's saying, THAT wouldn't have happened.

That was a very.....democratic thing to say.
For the record, I don't think he's crazy, either and in my opinion would make a damn fine Science Fiction Novelist.

One of us is crazy and it isn't you. :confused:

BadBoy
01-15-2005, 02:41 AM
Haha - Hoagland attempted to get George to increase the show's length to the original 5 hours. George has done that only maybe 2 times in the past year, not nearly often enough!

Thomas Veil
01-15-2005, 02:42 AM

Well, like the late, great Waylon Jennings once sang,

"I've always been crazy, but it's kept me from going insane." :D

Wow - Richard says at Titan's temperatures, the ice blocks have the strength of steel!

Yeah, I'd like him to keep Richard on longer. I fast blasted a request.

The five hour round table that had Jim Marrs and Alex Jones, among others, was one if George's best shows ever, in my humble opinion.

Hello Captain. This is my first night here in a while, but I have been listening this week. Enjoyed the William Henry show. Good show tonight so far.

Thomas Veil
01-15-2005, 02:54 AM
A space agency that tells the truth. :-D That's a good one. I'd like to have Richard involved in NASA somehow. At the very least, I'd love to see him ask questions at some of these press confrences. Not likely to happen though.

BadBoy
01-15-2005, 02:57 AM
Dr. Morgus again? Does anyone here really like that guy?

Captain Beyond
01-15-2005, 02:57 AM
Maybe I missed it,or maybe it has not been said.Did anyone ask for gormworm to recieve healing energy from our fellow coast listeners?

Captain Kundalini
01-15-2005, 03:00 AM
I can see it now. Major Ed Dames, George Noory and Richard Hoagland all crash land on Mars and they have to fix the engines to get back to Earth. Suddenly, a huge, butt ugly Martian comes up and peeks in through the capsule window.

Goes something like this (http://www.captkundalini.com/Sounds/tuffspotnotimesinging.wav).

Refresh my memory. Who is this guy and what does he talk about? I don't recall him at all.

Didn't realize he was ill. Hope he gets better soon.

BadBoy

Refresh my memory. Who is this guy and what does he talk about? I don't recall him at all.

Dr. Morgus was a local Saturday afternoon horror movie TV host that George watched when he was a kid - probably in the late 1950s or early 1960s. He had him on for an hour or so a few months ago and sometimes plays some bits from his old show. He acts like an old mad scientist.

Shecoda
01-15-2005, 03:15 AM

Gormy had surgery this week. He says it will take a few months to recover. We don't know what the surgery was, he didn't say.

Ah, I remember him now. I guess a few minutes with the guy wouldn't hurt.

Well, he'll be in my prayers. I was really enjoying his posts in the Star Trek thread. Didn't always agree, but I respect his opinion.

Captain Beyond
01-15-2005, 03:25 AM
Yeah,the worm had major surgery.He did not say,but he did mention that his leg might get amputated due to diabetes complicatons.I hope that is not the case,but it very well could be what happened.

Shecoda
01-15-2005, 03:32 AM
We had discussed having some of us fast blast George asking for healing energy from the Coast audience for Gormy. We were going to identify him as Gormworm from the Imaginative Worlds forum.

Captain Beyond
01-15-2005, 03:43 AM
I sent George a FB about gormworm.

BadBoy
01-15-2005, 03:50 AM
The current caller is talking about my fast blast that George read the other night!! IW got an extra mention by George tonight! The Evil Dead series (3 movies) is a cult classic with the great Bruce Campbell. I have the Evil Dead, Book of the Dead Limited Edition DVD with a cover that looks like the Necronomicron, smelly human flesh:

Captain Beyond

Didn't that caller at first call her a "broad" and George didn't like that and told him off?
