  8. According to the scientists who study the orbital mechanics of planets, comets and asteroids of the outer solar system, there is a large unaccounted for mass somewhere out there. Some think it can be accounted for by raising the mass of asteroids and Kuiper belt objects but, a big, fat icy planet out there in the dark would also account for the missing mass. It would also have to be a very long way out there. Past the apogee of Pluto eccentric orbit would just be a starting point.
  9. Drew- Don't worry about your major much at this point. Just concentrate on getting your core required classes out of the way. Get them done and, done well, it will put you in good standing when you do move into your major curriculum. Just keep up with it! James

  17. South Eastern Conference football was royalty and, Bear Bryant was king. Kentucky basketball was so good that we played the regular season games to see who else was in the NCAA tourney besides for da Cats, Louisville and Duke.
  18. Being raised a military BRAT (Born Raised and Transferred) is a recipe for jock-dom. I played everything and one point or another except soccer. It just wasn't around in my part of the South at the time. I was never good at baseball as I could never hit decently. Wasn't till later that I figured out that I needed glasses. Same problem with basketbrawl but set a mean pick.

  21. When the Alliance Civil War broke out 2549, the giant TranStellar corporations located in the Corporate Sector seceded from the Alliance and formed the Consolidated Federation (commonly called the ConFed). The ConFed consisted of five huge TransStellar corporations: Nakajima, MilTech, Venture, предприятие (Enterprise) and Gradient plus hundreds of smaller subsidiaries located in the sector. Those five corporations alone accounted for almost thirty percent of the Alliance GNP. In the beginning they had a small edge in technology but that edge was fleeting. The Corporate War took four long years of hard, bitter fighting. When it started neither side was ready for hostilities. Caught by surprise, both militaries struggled to adjust. The fighting was confused and sporadic. The two fleets fought a series of fierce, sharp inconclusive engagements between cruisers and destroyers. When the Alliance was able to bring their new battle cruisers and carriers into the fight, the ConFed fleet was thrown back and finally destroyed at the Battle of Pelenor. Historically the Corporate War was not much to brag about militarily on either side. At first it was a comedy of errors. Then it became a drama of attrition. Finally the weight of metal decided the matter. The Corporate War wasn’t that interesting compared to what happened afterwards. The Alliance liberated millions of genetically engineered slaves. That’s when things got interesting.
  22. Missed one! The Nordia Incident by me!
