Very true. It would probably be difficult to watch if it was made again.

@ No I think people are hanging out for Australian TV . The only problem is it talks about aboriginal people and white people getting on which would upset a lot of the activists

It's truly amazing that they were able to engineer this mission in the 60s-70s.

I followed on with Google Earth. I really want to visit some of these places.. for example this ‘narrow pass’ near Linden, and especially this lookout ‘south of the present Wentworth Falls’ does anyone know exactly where he’s talking about?

Hey, i cant seem to find the comment but sometime ago i asked if you could help me with the lengths of the x axis ballscrew and if you wouldnt mind sharing the cad files for the mounts. I remembered you replied but it seems like youtube might have deleted anything after that reply. Could you still assist me with that? Thank you for your work. That tool changer idea is awesome btw

@Alex-ok7mg Ай бұрын

Yes, I am having trouble finding the comments as well and I wish I could help you but I am not in Adelaide at the moment, but will be there over Christmas so I might be able to get you the lengths. As for the CAD files, I didn't make the mounts they were made by someone, who has since gone out of business (He was very unreliable and I only got my parts after PayPal told him to deliver). You know, I distinctly remember wondering whether I should make measurements of them just before installing them wondering whether I would need draw up the CAD files, but decided against it. There you go! Anyway, they are not that complicated, from the video you could probably create the CAD files once you have torn down the mill.

That's so weird I was commenting on anothervideo. Not sure why it posted here. I have a 2.7 all the info I find is always for the X2 mini, the sx3 and the sx4. I wonder if it would be easier to just build a table slide base and attach my column to that. At least I'll get linear rails and a bigger table haha. I hope you have a great Christmas if you have a chance to get measurements of the pieces I'd greatly appreciate it. At the very least it will be a starting point. Again thank you. Also the dude who ran those adapters fell I'll and died. @@Alex-ok7mg

@@issaproject Thanks for the feedback. As I was reading some of the comments, some appeared to have disappeared and some were hidden so it was confusing. Thanks for the Christmas message and it is reciprocated. It is sad about that guy ad CNC-Fusion. He was having a hard time delivery, but it sounds like he may have also been ill. Very sad - the kit was very well made.

Hurts a bit to hear the Pioneer space craft described as unsophisticated. Pioneer 10 operated for more than 30 years. They are heavily instrumented, excellent spacecraft.

@Alex-ok7mg 2 ай бұрын

It is fascinating how with time, the names of the early spacecraft have taken on their original meaning, especially in the names of pioneer and voyager. I suspect voyager had a bigger task and caught the public imagination as being more capable, well at least the imagination of the media and journalists.

Wonderful memories, so glad to see this on here. Me and some friends initially just went to sit outside the fence and listen to the concert, group of about 20 other people turned up as well, and we'd just settled in with our picnic rugs when someone noticed that they'd left one of the side gates unmanned with a gap big enough for anyone to squeeze through. What can I say, when an opportunity like that presents itself, it's a bit hard to say no. Still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
