Title: To infinity.....and beyond.......
Post by: Popeye the Sailor on September 21, 2009, 08:57:44 PM
Yes that's right ladies and gents.

The DMF has achieved notoriety in a way that few forums ever will.

Prior to their sale to the general public, several DMF stickers were sent to me in care of a silent arab, who delivered them unto me in a bleak stretch of nubian desert. From there, they were smuggled into Kazakhstan in the dead of night in the belly of a cargo plane. Until finally, at such point as the three major powers all involved in the launch of such things vacated the premises, a lone DMF'er and his trusty, albeit unnamed photographer, crept into the clean room. In violation of no end of rules and regulations, a symbol of the beloved DMF was affixed to the faring of the rocket.


It launched on the 17th. We're in space, kids.

Say, does this mean we'll get a better response from extraterrestrials to this sticker than Carl Sagan's design (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque) on Pioneer 10?   ;D

Just catching up on these threads

That's pretty kewl.

So whats the odds of it returning in one piece or will it simply burn up on take off. Im sure re-entry but do these rockets really intended to come back?
