A thread concerning both aviation and space flight coupled together with the branch of science which deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole. The Chinese space station Tiangong-1 is set to fall to Earth over this weekend. The latest from the European Space Agency (ESA) predicts 1615 hrs GMT on Sunday 1st April 2018 plus or minus nine hours. This tracker is continuously updated to show the current position and height as the orbit decays. When Skylab fell to Earth in 1979 a $400 littering ticket was issued by a park service official in Western Australia; apparently it still hasn’t been paid and has been written off. Useful Sites Heavens-Above is a website developed and maintained by Chris Peat as Heavens-Above GmbH. The web site is dedicated to helping people observe and track satellites orbiting the Earth without the need for optical equipment such as binoculars or telescopes. It provides detailed star charts showing the trajectory of the satellites against the background of the stars as seen during a pass. Special attention is paid to the ISS, Iridium flares and other satellites. Space shuttle missions were tracked until the program was retired in July 2011. The website also offers information on currently visible comets, asteroids, planet details, and other miscellaneous information. N2YO provides real time tracking and pass predictions with orbital paths and footprints overlaid on Google Maps.It features an alerting system that automatically notifies users via SMS and/or email before International Space Station crosses the local sky. The N2YO.com system powers ESA's, Space.com's and many other's satellite tracking web pages. NASA Lunar Eclipse Explorer computes the local circumstances for every lunar eclipse for any century from 2000 BC to 3000 AD. Forget about city etc, just enter your latitude and longitude as a decimal. NASA Solar Eclipse Explorer computes the local circumstances for every solar eclipse for any century from 1500 BC to 3000 AD. Again, forget about city etc, just enter your latitude and longitude as a decimal. International Space Station Transit Finder calculates when the ISS transits across the face of the sun and moon from a position near you. Don’t forget your solar filters if you’re looking at the sun. Telescope.org is where you can request The Open University’s automated telescope on Mount Teide, Tenerife to take a photograph for you. Airliners.net is an aviation website that includes an extensive photo database of aircraft and airports, as well as a forum catering to civil and military aviation together with spaceflights. If you have any questions, please ask and I’ll do my best to answer them.

Good luck to Sean. Would say well played but we were both Shite

Happy 111th to our seemingly indestructible pal

Statistically, you and Sean have the best defence so far. 0 conceded in 2 rounds so far. DDT has 0 in 1 round. Most Conceded 1. Dead Cow 13 2. Heef 9 3. Sir Creep 6 4. Joey 6 5. Deadsox 6 6. Sean 0 7. DDT 0 8. YWillz 0 Most Scored 1. Dead Cow 26 2. Sir Creep 17 3. Joey 13 4. Heef 10 5. Sean 9 6. Deadsox 7 7. DDT 6 8. YWillz 4 So The Dead Cow is basically Klopp's Liverpool here.

Note we have a new player entering for April - ebless. The way I worked it with the last new entry was I said that they could play, bringing the total pool of entries up to 21, but only the first 20 to get their teams in each month would play for that month. I would be reluctant to bring in another newcomer except that I suspect that we have at least one or 2 players who may have dropped out (E Souza and madhatter 2) as they sat out last month, and maybe even a third. So I think we can let ebless in and still stay within our 20. Any objections?

Yo....someone tell Dead Sox to get off all my entries lol. Damn....we got like half each other's team. Great minds or two dummies, time will tell. SC

Decided to give some thoughts on some of the picks for this round: Anzaki - went from 4 picks the first round to 5 the second round. Now it's reduced to 3 in round 3. He's gonna be the deciding pick in the finals round, isn't he? Blanco - Charon was the only one who went for her in the first two rounds. With him out (and not even picking her this time anyways), DDT picks up the unique for her. Maybe April is the time she goes... Bracknell - Went from 4 picks last round to 3; the two survivors who also had her last time and myself. Thought she might've been on one or two more though, as she sounded quite pessimistic in her two most recent interviews, and she usually was optimistic. Cappotelli - Once again, Sean is the only person who kept faith in him from previous round. Maybe his consistent support will finally pay off. Clegg - Another one that Sean has been the only person who kept consistent support in all three rounds, and his latest news wasn't exactly the best news, though he might be a bit early Da-Ren - Went from 0 to 4 to 5, the most selected person this round. Don't know which sod revealed that he was in a three day coma according to foreign sources though. Jose Jose - Went from 11 picks to 2. Clearly a reaction to him not being as ill as thought. Jowell - Now a unique for YoungWilz. And she's one month closer to expiring from brain cancer still. Lynott - 9 picks to 3 to none. The remaining people who picked her last time has either been eliminated or now has now pushed her to the side in favor of better picks. Mack - Has each match gone down one less team, and now he's a unique for deadsox. Hm, I somehow get the feeling he might be on no teams , and not necessarily because no one picks him when he's still living. Manan - Jumped from a unique from last round to three teams, the person who picked her last month and two people from the same tie. McCain - Went from 8 to 5 to 2, and only DDT kept faith in him from the people who moved on to the next round. McCormick - One of those picks that jumped from nowhere to 3 picks, and part of that was because my research didn't pick him up. His situation certainly sounds dire. Moss - msc was surprised when he was only on 4 teams last match. Now he's a unique for Heef. Obyashi - Went from 2 people in round 1 to 3 in round 2 on 5 separate teams. Now the only person out of those 5 who picked him in the last two rounds that broke into the quarterfinals has now chosen him as a unique. Rae - Was somehow a unique for msc last round. Now she's somehow a unique for me. What do you know sometimes? Shore - Was a unique for two people in past rounds, and neither of them made it through. Now she's on 3 teams. Must've been some tweets asking for prayers Skripal - Went from nowhere to four teams. Personally his daughters recovery made me turn away from him, but maybe they made the right call on him. Stefansson - The first round saw him on three teams, who all exited the cup. The next round also saw him on three teams, this time they all broke through. Now he's on four teams, and his outlook certainly doesn't look good. Vento - Went from 1 to 4 picks. Now only two people picked him, and it's the same two that made it to next round that picked him last time. Wilkins - The other pick who went from nowhere to half the teams, and it's not really looking good for him right now... Vervoort - Went from all 16 teams to only 2 teams. Clearly a reaction to articles that might've pointed her to a potential fraud.

Shoulda got a Scenic

Except the Yanks presumably can’t tell Peter Kay from King Ralph

Swami isn't famous to anyone besides his homies and dead poolers. No way 1 on 500 Americans have a clue who you are talking about. Or Brits. Or Ruskies. Or Japanese. Or Aussies. blah blah blah.

All three rematches from round 2 saw the previous loser win, then!

Ha! The one where Wendy Richard thought she'd see 2013 and Arthur Fowler was dead.

The era of Doctor Who was 2005-10

David Ketchum, who played Agent 13 on several episodes is still alive (born 1928)

Sad news I loved his Kickboxing Movies

Especially for you?

That sounds like The Derby Deadpool. 20 names each.

Mini Death Pool That won't translate well into French.

A tip: Deadpools need rules. Otherwise it's literally just writing down a couple of names that are on your mind.

Liv loses: court rules Feud did not slander her by having her played by a Welsh woman who has to suck an old man's cock.

Deal of the week

Just for reference, a conspiracy theory forum I mooch on is half convinced John McCain doesn't have cancer at all. I'm reserving judgement but apparently his 'hurt leg boot' (whatever you call the thing) has mysteriously swapped from one leg to the other - people are wondering if he's not ill at all and the boot is actually hiding an ankle tag bracelet. Terminal cancer would apparently be a good way to avoid awkward questions about his naughtiness in the past. Just putting it out there!
