[28 Jan 2002|02:59pm] The battle raged on, with them realising, all was lost. But yet, they fought on. They fought for honour. They fought for truth. Cause they know, it will live on. In defeat, they found victory. In defeat, they triumphed. In defeat, they won. And they know that they've won. Defeated. But not down. Morale up. Spirit on. For they will never be defeated, they will never let their minds be conquered, They will die rather than succumb. Foir that, they've won. Report to Yavin Four

order of the asteroids [10 Jan 2002|10:54pm] [ mood | amazed ] DOZENS OF ASTEROIDS pass close by the Earth each year, though 2001 YB5 was closer than most. On Friday, for instance, an asteroid known as 2001 UU92 will pass within 11 million miles of Earth. Asteroid 2001 YB5, estimated to be 1,000 feet (300 meters) across, was traveling about 68,000 mph (108,000 kilometers per hour) relative to the Earth when it zipped past. It’s a fairly substantial rock. If it had hit us at that sort of speed, you would be taking out a medium-size country, France, I suppose, or Texas, or something of that order, said Jay Tate, director of the Spaceguard Center in Wales. Astronomers with the NASA’s Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking program discovered 2001 YB5 on Dec. 26. Soon after, astronomers calculated the asteroid’s orbit and determined there was no danger it would strike Earth. Had it been on a collision course, it would have created one of the worst disasters in human history, said Steven Pravdo, the Near-Earth Asteroid Tracking project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. What could we have done about it? The answer is, not much, Pravdo said. As astronomers discover more and more near-Earth asteroids, they seek a standardized way of alerting the public to the hazard they might pose. Among programs already in place is the Spaceguard Center’s Comet and Asteroid Information Network, which began work Jan. 1. Report to Yavin Four

[26 Dec 2001|12:58pm] It's one of the greatest sins and yet it's something we do day after day. Sometimes we don't even realize it. You're just chatting away with your friends and you begin to talk about somebody else. Our whole lives are based around 'Home and Away' and 'Neighbors', soaps based on lying, backbiting and cheating. But look at what the Prophet (saw) said about it. The Prophet (saw) was sitting with his companions one day and one of them was speaking badly about someone who wasn't there. As the man got up to leave, the Prophet (saw) said to him: "Pick your teeth!" "But I haven't eaten anything," the man protested. "No," the Prophet (saw) said, "you have eaten the flesh of your dead brother!" As Allah tells us in the Qur'an: "Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? No, you would hate it." [Al-Qur'an 49:12] The Prophet (saw) told us, "Backbiting is to say something about someone they wouldn't like said about them. If what bad you said about them is true, then you have backbitten and if it is false then you have slandered them!" [Muslim] If you're still not convinced of how big a sin backbiting really is, then look at the punishment Allah has in store for the backbiters. The Prophet (saw) described: "On the night of Miraaj (the Prophet's ascension to heaven), I passed by some people who had metal hooks in their hands and were clawing at their faces and their necks with them. I asked Jibraeel 'Who were these people?' He said 'These are the people who eat the flesh of human beings and disgrace them.' [Abu Dawud] This is how big of a sin backbiting is looked upon and yet we continue to backbite without a second thought, next time you lie, talk about somebody, remember Allah (swt) and the Prophet (saw) and put them in front of you before you speak. Maybe we think it's all right to take the mick out of someone so long as we say it to their face. We'll make fun of the way someone talks, walks, or how they look. Allah warns us against such behavior: "O you who believe, let not some men laugh at others, it may be that they are better than you. Nor let some women laugh at others it may be that they are better than you. Nor abuse each other, nor be sarcastic to each other by using offensive nicknames..." [Al-Qur'an 49:11] Don't forget that Allah made us the way we are, so how can you even think of making fun of his creation? Listen to yourself and to your friends speaking one day - nearly every sentence will have a swear word in it, thinking it's cool and macho to swear, copying the idols of TV and the cinema. Is it really 'cool' to swear? The Hellfire is far from being cool. People will wish they were cool then rather than being cool in this world. Remember! That every time you speak , an angel writes down what you say, and that one day you will have to answer for every single word you ever uttered. So if you swear at someone then it's written down as a sin against you. You're only harming yourself. The Prophet (saw) said that "Abusing a Muslim is a sin and fighting with him is disbelief." [Muslim] But sometimes you just have to swear! We've all been there - you're just so angry with somebody and the only way you can express yourself, is to swear at them. The solution? Don't get angry in the first place. A man came to the Prophet (saw) one day and said "Advise me". The Prophet (saw) said "Don't become angry. Don't become angry. Don't become angry. When one of you gets angry while he is standing up, he should sit down. Then anger will leave him, and if not then he should lie down." [Ahmad] So let us follow this beautiful advice of the Prophet (saw) and remember that anger is from Shaytan. If someone angers you or swears at you then don't harm yourself by doing the same but respond in a better way as Allah says in the Qur'an "Repel evil with what is better. Then he who was your worst enemy will become your best friend." [Al-Qur'an 41:33] How often do we say such a phrase or say that "I was only joking." We treat lies as being trivial. However we are told that Allah's messenger did not hate anything more than lying. [Ahmed] The Prophet (saw) was once asked "Can a Muslim be a coward?" He (saw) replied "Yes." He was then asked "Can a Muslim be a miser?" And the reply was "Yes." The Prophet (saw) was again asked "Can a Muslim be a liar?" The Prophet (saw) replied "No! A Muslim can never be a liar." Furthermore, he said "Truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to Paradise. Lying leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to the Hellfire." [Bukhari] As we know that one lie leads to another ten lies which lead to bad actions. Remember you can lie and think that you have got away with it but on the day of Judgement, your hands, tongue and feet will bear testimony against you and tell the truth. One day, one of the Companions asked the Prophet (saw): "O Messenger of Allah, will we be called to account for what we say?" He replied "May you be lost to your mother! People will be thrown, faces down into the Hellfire, only on account to what their tongues said!" [Tirmidhi] Indeed the tongue controls the rest of your body. A well-controlled tongue will keep us within Islam but a loose tongue will destroy us. The Prophet (saw) said: "When a person gets up in the morning, all the parts of his body make a plea to his tongue saying 'Fear Allah regarding us, because we follow you. If you are right then we shall also be right, and if you are wrong then we shall also be wrong'." [Tirmidhi] Instead of swearing, lying and engaging in useless talk we can use our tongues in better ways and what better than telling people about Islam. Allah says: "Who is better in speech than one who calls (people) to Allah and works righteousness and says I am one of those who bow down in Islam." [Al-Qur'an 41:33] Indeed if you control your tongue and speak good then Paradise can be yours. The Prophet (saw) said: "Whoever can guarantee me two things I can guarantee them Paradise". The companions asked "What, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "What is between his jaws (his tongue) and his legs (private parts)." [Bukhari] "I have lied, backbitten people, and swear all the time. I must be going to Hell!" No! Allah (swt) tells us in the Qur'an: "O my servants who have wronged themselves, never despair of the Mercy of Allah - for truly He forgives all sins. He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." [Al-Qur'an 39:53] So if you really repent and turn back to Allah and promise not to commit the sin again then truly Allah's promise is true and He will forgive you. If you've backbitten someone - go and tell the person whom you backbitten and apologize sincerely and ask them to forgive you. But if you think that the situation will get worse then turn back to Allah sincerely begging for his forgiveness then to make up for what you said, go around and talk good of him. The best example as we know that the best person to have ever lived is the Prophet Muhammad (saw) and he is the best of example for mankind. If we follow him we can never go wrong. Aisha (ra), the Prophet's wife, described the Prophet's conduct as follows "He was neither an obscene talker nor a user of bad words. He did not shout nor did he repay evil with evil. He used to forgive people and overlook their sins." [Tirmidhi] A beautiful saying of the Prophet (saw) that will ensure the protection of our tongue. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last day, LET HIM EITHER SPEAK GOOD OR KEEP SILENT!" [Agreed upon] Report to Yavin Four

[26 Dec 2001|11:41am] On Christmas Eve, 1968, during the Apollo-8 mission, Astronauts Frank Borman, James A. Lovell, Jr., and William A. Anders, beamed home this holiday message as they orbited the moon (appoximately 240,000 miles above the earth). ------------------------- William A. Anders: We are now approaching lunar sunrise. And, for all the people back on earth, the crew of apollo 8 have a message that we would like to send to you. "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. " James A. Lovell, Jr.: "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day." Frank Borman: "And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good." And from the crew of Apollo 8, we close, with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas, and God bless all of you, all of you on the good earth. ---------------------------------- -- Houston response-- After the reading from Genesis, this take on a familiar Christmas story was read back. Twas the night before Christmas and way out in space, the Apollo 8 crew had just won the moon race. The headsets were hung by the consoles with care, in hopes that Chris Kraft soon would be there. Frank Borman was nestled all snug in his bed, while visions of REFSMMAT's danced in his head; and Jim Lovell, in his couch, and Anders, in the bay, were racking their brains over a computer display. When out of the DSKY, there arose such a clatter, Frank sprang from his bed to see what was the matter. Away to the sextant he flew like a flash, to make sure they weren't going to crash. The light on the breast of the moon's jagged crust gave a luster of green cheeses to the gray lunar dust. When what to his wondering eyes should appear, but a Burma Shave sign saying 'Kilroy was here.' (Laughter) But Frank was no fool. He knew pretty quick that they had been first; this must be a trick. More rapid than rockets, his curses they came. He turned to his crewmen and called them by name. Now Lovell, now Anders, now don't think I'd fall for an old joke you've written up the wall. They spoke not a word, but grinning like elves, and laughed at their joke in spite of themselves. Frank sprang to his couch, to the ship gave a thrust, and away they all flew past the gray lunar dust. But we heard them explain ere they flew around the moon: 'Merry Christmas to earth; we will be back there real soon.' Report to Yavin Four
