One of the problems with representing small moons on a tabletop by florists's
styrene foam spheres, is the unsightly seam many of them have.

But now we have a precedent.

I followed the links to the www.enterprisemission.com website article, and it
sucked out three ours of my night.

Interesting reading. They make some fun arguments...

(and boy, if 1/10 of what they say is *true*... whooey!)

Thanks for posting that.

Hoagland is such a loon. Whenever you're wondering if NASA is covering up
evidence of alien civilizations, just think about what would happen to their
budget if they did reveal such evidence (hint: it would become effectively
unlimited). Why would anyone develop such a conspiracy and then release the
photo's that these guys claim would expose it? Sigh...

To put Hoagland's "Enterprise Mission" claims into perspective, see

and its sub-pages.

Oh, I'm sure there is tons of debunking around for this kind of thing.

That isn't the point. It makes for fun reading...

Gotta love a good conspiracy theory!
