That's close to now right? If I'm taking 10~11 hours difference between my time zone and yours...

Hi unky, you'll have to mentally file any Cape Canaveral launch as being 8hrs behind you.

The 11:30:08 AM EDT, Wed, 28 Oct 2009 launch translates into

19:30:08 PM EDT, Wed, 28 Oct 2009 or 7:30:08pm in Port Louis, Mauritius.
Approximately 52minutes before your post.

Confusing isn't it?

Current local time in Mauritius – Port Louis

Current local time in U.S.A. – Florida – Orlando

Then when we stop EDT on Sunday, it goes to 9hrs.

Ok, so your time is like Stringer's and Alty's, 8 hours... I got it! I thought that you were more in the West of the US.

Hey by the way, what's Pa?

I know of LA (Los Angeles), CAL (for California), but Pa? That can't be Pacific

Pa, short for Pennsylvania, stands for "Penns Woods"

Pennsylvania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now, Stringer has Central time which is 1 more hour so 9 for now, and 10 when Standard comes in on Sumday morning and Alty's, I believe is Canadian Mountain time, she is 10 and will change to 11 Sunday morning.

Yeah, around the same time frame. It's hard to get it though... Pa to Pennsylvania

Thanks!

One more hurdle to placing humans on the Moon, has been jumped.

Well that's news! I wonder if they have already started the research for living organisms on the moon.

"Along with the water in Cabeus, there are hints of other intriguing substances.

Unknown008 · Nov 14, 2009, 06:45 AM

Do you mean they mean to say that there are perhaps some micro-organisms among it!?

KUXJ · Nov 14, 2009, 06:51 AM

There is always that possibility, but not confirmed for now.

"intriguing substances" could mean anything from organism fossils to Superman's poop.
