A view of the lateral meniscus - looks OK with no tears. Other random debris and stuff inside the knee is making the image cloudy.
Another Clarke inspirde spacecraft for the manned exploration of the Jovian atmosphere. After entering the atmosphere and slowing down it deployed the balloon you can see in the distance. This it filled with hot gasses from its engines so as to drift in Jupiters trade winds. Then the craft would separate from the balloon . Using hydrogen ramjets the vehicle would then climb to the fringe of space where pure rockets would return it safely to orbit.
Simple!
Following on from my previous picture (and using my new birthday present - a 35mm film negative scanner) I dug out this shot of the old Probe Records shop.
Space probe hanging in the National Air & Space Museum (Smithsonian). I think it's one of the Pioneer probes.

Top the original probe with shackle; bottom the 2nd generation version sans the shackle and with an added lanyard mounting point. Close examination revealed that the Gen 2 version actually has an entirely different scale replacing the shackle with the lanyard. The shackle was not wide enough to simply trim off and drill a hole; and the lanyard mount’s angle and dimensions clearly would not have been possible by simply cutting off a portion of the original shackle. Also discernible is the slightly more acute angle and thinner profile of the prying end of the knife handle in the original probe. Kind of anal of me to discern all of this but kind of interesting I thought and if you looked at the pictures to check if my conclusions are supported....... come on admit it; you find it interesting too! Extra nerd points if you enlarged the pictures to make sure!
