[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Warning it's a very large image! Our Solar System -----signature----- There's some delight in ale and wine, And some in girls with ankles fine, But my delight, yes, always mine, Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

	I didn't realize we had probes out 14.7 and 17.9 billion kilometers away from Earth... 21.2billion appears to be the edge of our solar system. Man that's cool. -----signature----- There's some delight in ale and wine, And some in girls with ankles fine, But my delight, yes, always mine, Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

	The first time it really hit me how big it all is, was when National Geographic put a map of the universe in the magazine. Just seeing how little our galaxy is blew my mind. -----signature----- I am no longer young enough to know everything Knowledge is Free America's Libraries "You embrace that which defines you" "If you tell the truth, you don't need a good memory" We're not perfect...we're parents

	Sort of related... They're (NASA and DARPA amongst others) trying to push forward with building an interstellar ship to get us outside our solar system: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20120321-searching-for-a-starship The science and engineering behind this...it's science fiction but based in reality. Just crazy some of the stuff they've accomplished in the last 50years so it makes me hopeful they could do something this amazing. I always wanted to be an AeroSpace Engineer because this stuff interests me so much...sadly I'm not smart enough. -----signature----- There's some delight in ale and wine, And some in girls with ankles fine, But my delight, yes, always mine, Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

	we did a scale project of the solar system in physical science, class and using a "human" scale and the outer planets ended up miles away. it was a neat way of putting the size of the solar system in prospective. -----signature----- Well I ain't first class But I ain't white trash I'm wild and a little crazy too I have seen a lot of things in my life time. That is why I walk the line I walk.
