And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

If Saturn orbited the earth at the distance of the Moon
Can you imagine.
ReplyDeleteHow big would the tidal flow be each day? Huge.
ReplyDeleteDudes in Cali would be so stoked!
DeleteIt would be the other way around: earth would orbit Saturn, and would probably be tidally locked as the moon is.
ReplyDeleteWe would be, just one of Saturn's moons...and DOOOOOMED!
ReplyDeleteStill… it’s better than hanging around Uranus 😉
ReplyDeleteI wonder if, when it was directly above you, you could fly?
ReplyDeleteno sleep and no more eclipses
ReplyDeleteMany more, and longer in duration eclipses.
DeleteReminds me of the poster for the movie The Quiet Earth
ReplyDeleteWe'd be VERY far out of the local orbital plane, for one thing.
ReplyDeleteSaturn, satans planet.
