Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-two million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea.
Quotes about orbiting (12 Quotes)
Red and raw like my brain, unable to shut down, thoughts crashing like electrons orbiting a nucleus of deuling emotions.
Ansel, I'm not the sun, stop orbiting and get in here.
It seems to me, thinking of it, that there must be some universal plan which set in motion the orbiting of the electrons about the nucleus and the slower, more majestic orbit of the galaxies about one another to the very edge of space.
Our roots are in the dark the earth is our country. Why did we look up for blessing -- instead of around, and down What hope we have lies there. Not in the sky full of orbiting spy-eyes and weaponry, but in the earth we have looked down upon. Not from above, but from below. Not in the light that blinds, but in the dark that nourishes, where human beings grow human souls.
I was selected to be an astronaut on a military program called the Manned Orbiting Laboratory back in '67. That program got cancelled in '69 and NASA ended up taking half of us.
The difference between an ant walking down the sidewalk and the International Space Station orbiting the Earth is about four orders of magnitude. I never really timed how fast an ant goes. Then I was thinking about a lot of the intractable contemporary conflicts that plague the world today.
Canada has made a strong commitment as a partner in the International Space Station and, like the other partners, wishes to see the assembly of this unique orbiting laboratory continue.
just because something is labelled as a natural process doesnt make it any less miraculous. There is something a bit ridiculous about saying, there is no way this guy could have turned water into wine when we are at the bottom of a gravity well on a small rocky planet orbiting a nuclear fireball, our ancestors were fish and bacteria, our bodies are made of stardust, and the universe jumped from a size smaller than an atom to a complex, fine-tuned, system with over 100 billion galaxies.
What she didn't understand, she being spiritual and seeing religion as spirit, was that it took religion to save me from the spirit world, from orbiting the earth like Lucifer and the angels, that it took nothing less than touching the thread off the misty interstates and eating Christ himself to make me mortal man again and let me inhabit my own flesh and love her in the morning.
It used to take seven Earth days to model one Jupiter day, MIRACLE should allow us to run models in 'real time,' ... It will also let us model the giant planets that have been discovered orbiting nearby stars, which leads us into whole new areas of research.
The announcement from Northrop Grumman Corporation is the latest in a growing series of successes for 1394 in some very exciting and valuable applications. Their testing program for the polar orbiting satellite system demonstrates the benefits of 1394. These include very high speed data transport, peer-to-peer connectivity which eliminates the need for a central controlling host, flexible topology which makes it easy to add devices on an as needed basis, and efficient allocation of bandwidth which benefits configurations which include a variety of devices with varying throughput needs. These are the attributes of 1394 that continue to move it into new product groups, and we are very pleased to hear of their application in the fault-tolerant chipset for the satellite program.
