Jacoba Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yeah I'm sorry but if that were me, the Ocean would be more or less uninhabitable for a few days... unless you like swimming in a septic tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Russell Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 looks more like a dolphin than a shark...Dolphins have h-stabs, sharks have LONG drawn out v-stabs.In any case, you've got no chance of out-running either one.I've had a grey-nurse shark turn 180 degrees in front of me and felt the crack from it's tail through the water.For their size, their agility is incredible to witness.

Oliver Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yep, Ive had some close experiences with skarks as well... Nothing like surfing 100 feet of the beach and seeing a 5th shark swimming around ;D Saw a 6 foot sting ray jump out of the water in front of me aswell...

hobofat Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yep, Ive had some ear experiences with skarks as well... Nothing like surfing 100 feet of the beach and seeing a 5th shark swimming around ;D Saw a 6 foot sting ray jump out of the water in front of me aswell...No sharks here, but I did end up take a nice long "siesta" once when the barracuda started showing up.

samen Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Lucky for me the biggest see creature that I have had an encounter is a plankton , but I have only been to a beach/sea/ocean once in my life so that doesn't count Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yea, I remember the countless times going to Kennedy and having to drive the 3 hours back home without even seeing the launch of the Shuttle!

Simmo W Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ha, set my alarm for 5am here to watch the launch on NASA tv, but missed the alarm, and was relieved that it had been scrubbed! Sorry:-)But I saw Obama's airforce one take off, one pissed off president I'm sure. All that expense and carbon emissions for nothing. How many people were on his plane, 20 or so? He would get a CRJ, reduce his carbon footprint himself!I'd kill to see (and hear/feel) a live launch though. Me jealous, in the off-tornado and off-hurricane season at least!

flyinhawaiian Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Well luckily its just a 90 minute drive for me, and I have friends to crash with in Melbourne (Florida, Simon ), which gives me a nice early staging point. I'll try again on Monday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukasz Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ah, for once I find myself to live in a sane timezone, with regards to Shuttle launch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmo W Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Ah, for once I find myself to live in a sane timezone, with regards to Shuttle launch Yeah Ben, it seems reasonable. Well any time is ok for these being the last 2 missions of the shuttle. I watched the first few live for hrs I remember, so we should farewell them honorably. More interesting than the Tubes that will replace it, at least in the short term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
