LUNA-TICS TEAM ROOM: Year-round "Looney" fun.

[normadelaney]

In the meantime, our football Grand Final tonight (rugby league), go the Penrith Panthers. Cheers, Baz[/color][/size]

And so it was the Penrith won its first NRL premiership in almost 20 years...against the South Sydney Rabbitohs (apparently also known as the Bunnies)!

A great win by the Penrith Panthers, although the Bunnies played a great game...Cheers, Baz

More fun to be cheering on the winning team. Glad it was yours.

Yes, there is dust on the moon. The top layer of the moon surface is the regolith, and Apollo landings treated the modules and the spacesuits to coverage with moon dust. We might just kick up a little dust ourselves in less than 300K meters that we've got to travel to the surface! It will be today for sure! We had a definite uptick in participation yesterday - and that is likely today as well! We're all working to get the good ship Luna-Tic to the lunar surface!

13th...but the gap is closing!

We have landed on the surface of the moon !


Not only have we landed, but clearly the ship's dog(s) are already out exploring the surface as are many Lunies since we have continued to add meters beyond those needed for landing! There are so many lunar features to explore! But first:

Thank you to ALL the Lunies who have contributed meters to this journey! It may indeed be our fifth landing, but each landing is new for many teammates! You have all been most excellent travel companions!

We have 10 days...

14th...say what?!!!

Sometimes a team or team member will drop a boatload of meters towards the end of a Challenge, and this may be what has happened with Sacramento City. SC is now battling it out with Sub7...and the mERGmaids remain elusive (kind of like in mythic life...). We have had, and still have opportunities. What we do with them is totally up to us. Surely it makes you want to FIGHT BACK?! There are times when we should not settle for what we get....we should chase after what we want!
