Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Some of you may enjoy this as I saw in another thread some of you enjoyed space and such.
On this site you can pick your location and see times that the Space Station (almost everyday or night) and the Space Shuttle (when it is up with the space station) are going to be flying over you.
I saw the Spacestation pass overhead one night just as the Space Shuttle was leaving it. Altough it was just to little dots in the sky it was still very cool.

I try to watch it every chance I can get. It's actually pretty amazing at how fast it covers the entire sky. You want to view it when it is at least 50 degrees or so cause that's when it will go from one end of the sky to the other and you get a longer viewing time.

The best times they have listed for my area have the duration for 2 or 3 minutes or less!!
i saw it one time in '03 when i was up on staff at camp. it's pretty sick. but then again, if you watch the skies at night on a clear night of course, for 5 minutes or more you'll see more meteorites and satellites than you'd think... they're very constant.
also something else i learned while i was up there...
even on the clearest, cloudless nights, there are still "clouds" in the sky...
turns out, if you ever look up and see a broad, thin layer of clouds stretching usually diagonally across the entire sky, you're actually looking at the Milky Way herself.. the gasses and what not that comprise the galaxy can be seen very clearly on a ...well, clear night of course.

Another little known fact: The northern lights are almost always there, although not always visible to the naked eye.
I figured that out when I was in the Air Force. I had noticed the northern lights just barely visible near the horizon, but it was hard to see due to the lights from the base. So I checked out a pair of night vision goggles and headed to a secluded part of the base. I was able to see the lights quite easily with the naked eye from there, but to my astonishment, when I put on the goggles, the lights were stretched across the entire sky, not just the northern most part!!!

so all you need is a pair of good night vision? sweet! i'll have to look into that...
i've always thought that that was correct, that the "northern" lights were all over the place... because after all, it's just the sun reflecting off the atmosphere right? so that'd be sick to see...

Anyone interested should check what the viewing is like in their city tonight cause mine reads....

Which means it's going from one end of the sky to the other, it'll be visible for six minutes and has a pretty good angle so I don't have to be out in the middle of nowhere to see it. I'm guessing viewing will be pretty decent in the whole of the US. Not sure about outside of it. :salute!:
