It's so great that both that ship and her entire family have survived. Here are the other ships of her class:

Unfortunately, she is the only one still under sail, but all have been preserved. An amusing note about Stastraad Lehmkhul - she was built by the Germans, sold to the Norwegians after WW1, stolen back from the Norwegians by the Germans during WW2, returned to the Norwegians after WW2, then chartered by the Germans after the war for training. :v:
Tallships are incredible and unfortunately, they are a dying breed. Both seaworthy ships and the knowledge required to sail them are dwindling.[/QUOTE]
The city I lived in had an original (albeit very renovated) tall ship. They recused it from a ship graveyard in Greece after it was converted to a steamer. They converted it back to sail. After Hurricane Ike, it needed extensive renovation and now iirc the only original parts are the fireplace mantle in the Captain's quarters and some of the iron hull framing :v: she's a modern day [url=https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus]Ship of Theseus.[/url]

It's almost a shame it was set back to sail - there aren't many oceangoing steamers left, either, probably less than old sailboats. Certainly one of the most impressive surviving steamers is PS Waverley, which also has the distinction of being the only surviving oceangoing paddlewheeler.

There used to be a steam boat that would tour up and down the Mississippi River because I remember seeing it once as a kid. But I think they stopped because it got too expensive to run it.
I think I have artwork of that very ship, i'll look when I get home.
Sailing ships make better tourist traps because tourists and their kids equate them with pirates :v:
I'd honestly prefer the steam boat for a tour. Steam engine's are cool.

Here she is. There are actually quite a few paddlewheel steamers still on the Mississippi, apparently, and Natchez is the youngest (and fastest)
I know of two local paddle wheels but I don't know their age or whether they're on steam. (Don't think so)
Louisiana is lousy with them. I know of one trapped well ashore in a swamp around Alexandria, another sitting in a breaker's yard there, and on the Red River there you can see several wrecks along the shore.
Apparently they built loads of the fucking things in the 1900s using salvaged steam engines from older vessels and those hulls are all over the place. It seems like there aren't a lot of proper historic paddlewheelers still around - mostly the 1900s replicas, which I suppose are getting to be historic in their own right these days.

[QUOTE]A photo of "Fallen Astronaut", a sculpture left on the moon by Apollo 15 in 1971 dedicated as a memorial to astronauts who had died in the advancement of space exploration.
Designed by Belgian artist Paul Van Hoeydonck after meeting astronaut David Scott at a dinner party, the piece is composed of a 8.5-centimeter aluminum statue resembling an astronaut and a plaque bearing the names eight Americans and six Soviets who had died in service up to that point including Yuri Gagarin, the 3 astronauts killed in the Apollo 1 fire, and the 3 cosmonauts killed in the Soyuz 11 depressurization incident. The full list of names can be found [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallen_Astronaut"]here[/URL].
The existence of the sculpture was kept a secret by the crew of Apollo 15 until they returned to Earth, with Scott smuggling the statue aboard his spacecraft and not telling NASA management. After disclosing the statue's existence following their mission, a replica was placed in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC. This is the only official replica of the piece in existence; Van Hoeydonck originally planned to produce and sell copies to the general public but relented after pressure from NASA and their policy against commercial exploitation of the US government space program.
Three names of astronauts who had died prior to 1971 are missing: Valentin Bondarenko (died 1961) and Grigori Nelyubov (died 1966), two Soviet cosmonauts whose deaths were unknown prior to the mission due to the secrecy of the Soviet program, and Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., an American who was the first African-American astronaut and died in a training accident in 1967.[/QUOTE]

Although I am not familiar with London/English culture, I've been told that skinheads during the 1960's had a more liberal leaning stance like the hippie movement. so although in retrospect this photo seems like a huge juxtaposition between right and left, they were actually part of a similar movement during their contemporary.

Doubtful it's paper. Also carbon based inks should be resistant to degradation from radiation.
[QUOTE=ZombieDawgs;53171333]Wouldn't that paper be blank now?[/QUOTE]
I was actually curious about that myself, but looking it up I haven't really found an answer.
Like download said it's likely not paper, to me it looks like it's aluminum like the statue. Seems to me like it might be engraved as well, if it is it's probably weathered the sun a lot better than the American flags on the moon have.

Why does it make that sound?!
[QUOTE=booster;53174676]Why does it make that sound?![/QUOTE]
I'm guessing that the initial highest pitch you hear when it reaches the bottom is the "real" impact sound, which travels straight up the pipe. The lower pitch sound is from sound waves that ricocheted their way to the top, getting lower in pitch the more times they bounced off the tube walls. The sound waves that bounce the most times also arrive at the top last, which is why it gets progressively deeper.
i think the question was more about the final bullet ricochet "PEOOW"
[QUOTE=Joazzz;53174838]i think the question was more about the final bullet ricochet "PEOOW"[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure that's what he answered too. The "EOOW" sound are the sound waves bouncing on the walls. The more it bounces, the lower pitch it gets. The initial "P", to stick with "PEOOW", is the actual sound of the impact.

The start of that ricochet sound IS the initial sound.
