Need help to moon

[freespace2dotcom]

What time zone do you live in, simon. I'm in central time, and it's 6 Am here right now. in fact. if it wasn't for my
finals being over and my summer vacation starting today, I'd be at school right now

Freespace, who's listening to "we are the champions"

[Simonpro]

Heh, im in Leicester, UK. Its midday over here and i would also be at university, but my exams are finished

[freespace2dotcom]

 

Next term, I'll have to take a physics course.

Maybe for extra credit I can lug my computer to class and show how to go to the moon.

Thanks to orbiter, I'm actually looking forward to it. it's really funny. especially since I know that the class isn't going
to be focused on space at all.

[Simonpro]

Yey! Physics, great subject - although one of the hardest around, with the (possible) exception of Mathematics

[freespace2dotcom]

And just like that, you soaked my enthusiasm to nothingness with a mere 16 words.

[Simonpro]

Aaah, but the satisfaction is good when you get a good mark in physics

[freespace2dotcom]

That be "IF" I get good grades, mr. smartee-pants.

[Simonpro]

Nah, i was showing confidence in your abilities. You will get good grades!
If not then Dan will take your DGIII flying liscence away:rant:

[freespace2dotcom]

I'd fly without one then. I'm a rebel. did you not see the picture of the DG3 skin I made?

[Simonpro]

Heh, no i dont fly the DG

[DocHoliday]

What do you use then? Not Shuttle to the Moon?

(SAY THE RIGHT THING OR THOU SHALT BE BANISHED FROM THE DG3 WORSHIPPING FORUM)

Freespace agrees with doc.

*passes the torches and pitchforks around*

[Simonpro]

Usually the standard DG or a soyuz/fregat combo.

[DocHoliday]

*Doc refuses the torch..* I have my own means...........

[freespace2dotcom]

Of course.. I myself would prefer an old fashioned metal sword, [cough]katana[/cough]

[DocHoliday]

*doc slowly lowers his lightsaber*

Ok, close enough. stock DG is better than no DG

[Simonpro]

Heh, im a fencer so watch out. Katanas are waaay too slow :p

[DocHoliday]

*doc is just pleased not to be forced to use the lightsaber* People have been know to lose hands and I can't even
hold it up straight

Fencer too?? What are you NOT?

[freespace2dotcom]

Peh. fencing is a sport. you have to keep form, look pretty and score points. In any other sword fighting, you don't
look pretty, but the techniques are far more deadly. And remember, katanas are more for slicing than stabbing. I
really need to learn how to use one before I can make any claims though...

[Simonpro]

Heh, fencing is based upon the art of duelling, which was very lethal indeed.

[freespace2dotcom]

I'm not saying that fencing isn't based on lethal stuff. but I don't think that it follows... the essence.. (?) of a real
battle.. but then, I've never held a real sword in my life before so what do I know?

[DocHoliday]

Indeed. Fencing is not to be taken lightly. It was just transformed to sport now. You can wield a sword or katana
once, a fencer will slice you like three times while you do it.

[Simonpro]

Indeed you do not know. Most of the moves in fencing are based on the moves used in duelling. The only thing thats
changed is the fact that the weapons are not sharp in fencing. Give a fencer a light, sharp weapon and you are in
serious trouble.

[freespace2dotcom]

It just seems to me as though fencing is too formal, in which the rules and whatnot seem... well.. not.. as usable..
(I'm lacking the real word I'm looking for ) as you would see in every day applications. but then I'm just stubborn
and think that katanas are cool. so leave me be. I'm not changing my mind!

Practical?

Katana is impressive but heavy. Once they get going, they are not eager to stop. Almost cut my calf in two while
fooling around with one once

Yup, fencing has been formalized from the days of pirate battles, eh ?
