Yeah, generally Celestron, Meade, and Orion are safe choices as far as quality goes. I would recommend against getting a telescope with "GoTo" installed (motorization), as getting a manual telescope is, in my opinion, far more rewarding and usually quite a bit cheaper. It forces you to find objects on your own, and really get a feel for navigating the night sky. I also still recommend getting a Dobsonian with at least 6 inches of aperture as well.

He, and thanks.

The great thing about science is that you have to provide proof. "Because I said so" isn't good enough. Care to provide evidence of the severe spinning, beyond a very biased opinion?

I agree that Gravity was, despite some flaws, a good movie. In my opinion, one of Gravity's greatest strengths was how accurately they modeled the appearance of the equipment and spacecraft.

It's one thing to say it was passable, but to say that it was one of the most scientifically accurate scenes in the history of filmmaking? That's just insulting. (Quote by Astronaut Garrett Reisman)http://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2013/10/17/what-does-a-real-astronaut-think-of-gravity/

Actually, any centrifugal force would have been so minor at that point that him letting go was pointless. All she needed to do was give him the slightest tug and momentum would have done the rest. The entire scene is simply there to set up Ryan for her "lone survival against all odds".

Ideally, depending on your budget, I'd go for a 6+ inch Dobsonian reflector. Something like this would come highly recommended. http://www.telescope.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=102004&gclid=CNrWyJrylrsCFahj7Aod1RMA0A For something a bit cheaper, but still fairly good on quality, this is also a fairly good telescope for the price. http://www.telescopes.com/telescopes/reflecting-telescopes/celestronastromaster114eqreflector.cfm Also, remember that aperture is arguably the most important aspect of any telescope. The larger the aperture, the better the image, though the optic quality will also definitely impact this. As a side note, be sure to consider a good pair of binoculars if this is your first real foray into the (all consuming) world of amateur astronomy. Anyway, welcome to one of the most rewarding hobbies out there!

Spacecraft separation. The journey begins!

It has been a half a month and still no pre order email on any of my adresses...

I pre ordered 7 dollars on January 14th. I still haven\'t gotten a message confirming the preorder in any of my inboxes. The only message I\'ve recieved is the donation one.

Absolutely great! ;D

I created a new account for the store and preordered the game for 7 dollars yesterday but so far I\'ve only got the 'Thank you for your donation' email.

Try and barricade myself in the house and hope the National Guard is holding out.
