Happy Birthday to a legend.

Phil, is the Brough at the IWM ?

Hi Robbo.
Yes it is, after the crash it went back to the factory for a rebuild.

A couple from a trip to London last november.

First one the bike that Lawrence lost his life on.

Westminster abbey.

Red Giants shed mass quickly as the gravitational forces on the outer limits of the star are considerably reduced.

problem is, by the time the sun gets big enough to do that, we’d be toast. A typical red giant is some 600 times the size of our sun, which would put it past Mars’ orbit by the time it started losing mass.]

That is the point I was trying to make about pee dee’s comment that the earth would move away as the sun lost mass, if the sun was 10 times as big as it is now it would still have the same mass. it would not push the earth
away it would as it expanded.

The “Wind” is not the one that takes out your fence. It won’t drag like a parachute.

Note 1. There is a possibility that as the Sun grows into a Red Giant, it’s mass will be reducing….so the pull on the Earth will be less,

The solar wind will will push the sail in the opposite to the Sun, so it WILL drag like a chute.

Why should it’s mass be less as it gets bigger?

Oh and it’s Professor Steven Hawking not Hawkins

Gravity, the most powerful force in the Universe, yet we can very easily overcome it. Pity we don’t actually know what it is.

Wrong
Gravity is the weakest of all the forces, but is one of the hardest to overcome

Me and a mate rode from Atherton Lancashire to the motor bike show at Earls Court London in the sixties on a Tiger Cub, bl8*dy mad:D

I first thought the 10K referred to the cost of a flight :diablo:

It might not be to far off, still I’d pay it if I had the money:D:D
