It's my name. Nickname actually, but it's what everyone calls me.

What on Gods green earth is a pewdiepie ? On second thoughts, don't tell me - I probably don't want to know...

I'd really recommend reading about the Sealab project if you want to know more about Scott Carpenter. RIP Scott.

Thanks Dispatcher ! I forgot to mention my main man - the cat called James Marshall Hendrix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncd45L662cY

I can't figure out how to embed a you tube video - so if you want to know what I like ( which I doubt...) - search for these names :- Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Lightning Hopkins, Elmore James, John Lee Hooker

Remind me not to challenge you to an arm wrestling match 23278

Have you ever worn a military gasmask ? - it's a great insight into the world of people who suffer from asthma or other breathing difficulties. Plus they restrict your peripheral vision and are really uncomfortable. I know we are just having fun here, but please leave it out of your zombie survival kit anyway

I read a really good web article once outlining all the scientific reasons why zombies can't exist, but I don't have the link. I asked a friend of mine with a PhD in Biology if he could come up with a credible scenario for reanimated corpses but he couldn't do so, his best effort was some kind of 'rage' virus. But zombies are fun, and it's good to be prepared because modern western society is only a couple of steps away from anarchy. Too many people don't know how to live without supermarket ready meals, TV, fossil fuels and the government telling them exactly what to do. Take those things away for even a relatively short period of time and things will soon start to look like Day Of The Dead. Pray for peace, but prepare for war

He's part of the family now I might make him a cat sized gun - but then again that probably wouldn't be a good idea

Seeing as I already live somewhere remote, in a fully fenced 'compound' with it's own water supply and I own a LOT of guns then I'll just stay where I am. The Zombies can come to me

Mine is pretty tame. I like to pretend I've only got access to 1970's technology so things have to be simple. Here are the active flights :- Mariner Three, mapping Moho ( Mariners are my mapping satellites ) - second attempt at this, I messed the first up and failed to get capture Explorer One, landed on the Mun ( Explorers are landing probes ) - mission to check out sites for a manned landing Explorer Two, landed on Minmus - mission to check out sites for a manned landing Agena One, orbiting Kerbin - unmanned vehicle to test docking techniques and ship configurations for a two launch Mun mission Previous flights were Mariners to map Minmus and the Mun, Gemini's One and Two which docked with the Agena and used it's engine to change orbit and a Mercury style suborbital. Future plans are to map Duna and Eve and a Mun landing ( which is proving a little difficult given the technology limitations I have set for myself )

Here's me, photo taken on a hike in the Sierra Salinas mountains. Ignore the " Skinhead " t-shirt, a Spanish football hooligan friend gave it to me, I'm really a biker.

Approximately 150 mph on a Suzuki GSXR-750, does that count ?

It's mostly Tritium, check out the half life of that particular isotope. I've probably inhaled enough of that stuff to stun a heffalump while changing out reticle illuminators on military weaponsights and I'm still here.

What a kind thing to say, thank you If you saw me in real life you might probably think I bite kittens heads off because I'm a really scummy looking biker covered in jailhouse style tattoos. But I'm a sucker for little animals who are down on their luck and need some help. Little Kerbal has already repaid us many times over for rescuing him by being so friendly and...downright crazy. That's kittens for you... One thing I'd do if we won the lottery would be to use my hunting skills to trap every adult cat I could find around here, get them neutered and then release them.

My pleasure - best of all the books are free downloads - http://www.nasa.gov/connect/ebooks/rockets_people_vol1_detail.html#.UjBmkD-2B8s

That's one small step for a man...

Nearly finished it already. A great book but the female astronaut\geologist character is incredibly annoying - permanently angry about something or other, has a huge sense of entitlement and a massive chip on her shoulder. I hope they leave her on Mars and come back without her

He would like to thank you for your kind words ( but he's too busy killing a toy mouse right now )

We live in rural Spain and there are a lot of feral cats around. This kitten turned up at our house the other day, half starved with an eye infection and covered in fleas. He'd just been captured and was on his way to the vets for some antibiotics, de-fleaing and worming. A few days later and he's looking a lot better the other rescue cats haven't accepted him yet, but they will I know he's not green but we called him Kerbal anyway...

Thanks for that, I'm definitely ready for some fiction having just finished Boris Cherkovs four volume history of the Soviet missile and space program...

Yeah, stop being an ANARCHIST :D

Of course there were civilisations on the Earth before man. They arrived from space while our planet was still young. Evidence of their existence is being suppressed however by a US government agency called Delta Green, mostly to protect our fragile human minds. Some hints as to what these civilisations were, and how they continue to impact on our lives today can be gained by reading the works of the noted exobiologist Howard Phillips Lovecraft of Miskatonic University.

Especially if they ever do end up in prison

You'll never change anything. Too many people in the UK are only too happy to exchange freedom for the illusion of security. We dealt with our annoyance about being spied on, bullied and taxed almost out of existence by the UK state by emigrating to a remote rural location in Spain. If the Spanish state also wants to try and make our lives a misery it's got to find us first...
