'Propliner' is actually short for 'Proper airliner, with big rumbly radials'

A wonderful read and watch, Mike!

Many thanks. Saved it to run again!

TITAN!

My favourite Moon/Planet in all my Interstellar dreams every night!

I've lost count of the number of times that I have both landed on, and traversed the Planet Titan in my Starfighter and Shuttlecraft...

...in my nightly dreams, resulting from many years of my Computer games space flights!.... :D ...!

....Mercenary. Hardwar, Elite, etc etc...

..I have a vivid imagination...But I know for sure that all we Human Folk will always be "Earthbound"...it is designed for us!!

Thanks again, Mike!

Paul.....en route to Alpha Centauri.... B-) ... :lol: ....!

Ta, mate :rolleyes:
I had hoped the shots of the telescope self-compensating for the plane's movement would demonstrate Dr Lanchester's Theory of Lenticular Motion, but that video seems to be looped, like the Southern Alps segment. Despite that small disappointment, I was fascinated by the presentation.
My lady friend is in London for her eldest daughter's wedding, and loving the cold snowy weather. Here in Oz I am still waiting for some rain :D
