So I'm sitting here earl Sunday morning watching the history channel and they are talking about advancing technology and satellites. I got to thinking where are all the old ones and what do they do with them. I'm sure they contain a wealth of good escrap. I know it's highly unlikely to get your hands on one as most burn up reentering the atmosphere. Anyway it was just a thought.
i think you'd need one hell of a ladder! and one big fishin net too! (and ya better pack a lunch ; )
No I think a big harpoon would do the trick.
Hey, I saw that movie as a kid. Andy Griffifth I think. You other old people know What Im talking about, chime in. hehe
wasn't that Don Knotts? The Reluctant Astronaut?Quote:
