Well...
Don't know what you're talking about, I was talking about loading the craft, not unloading it...
Bill...
On second thought the pallet could be made from aluminium, that would reduce the weight and still be able to support the 2 tons...
As far as to how they got the stuff off the craft *shruggs*, don't know manually I guess...
But I'm just speculating here...

I like how they decide to use a 24 hour day and thier issued watchs to keep track of time, like it was this brand new solution. Brilliant.
I apologize if this has been addressed alrady, 103 pages is pretty long to search for such a small thing. But, why would they be using 24hr time to keep track of the time? The planet Serpo's day does not necessarily have to be as long or as short as Earth's. I dont think that 24 hour time would actually be used in such a situation since the planet's "day" could be of varying length. Using 24 hour time under such circumstances would render all efforts of keeping track of the time spent there useless unless said measurements were recorded as "earth days" and "earth hours" or something to that effect.

Hi Bill,
Can you absolutely verify that this has come from Anonymous and not from some 'pretender'?

Hi, Zep – Yes, I can.
Best, Bill

Maybe they built special pallets, don't know...
Aren't the "pallets" used for loading cargo aircraft much different from convention trucking pallets?
For example, here are some UPS pallets. They are not made of wood, obviously, and are not handled by forklift.
Maybe the interpretation of pallet should be considered in light of the circumstances.
UPS Cargo Container "Pallets"
Maximum Accepted Weight: Varies by aircraft type.
Maximum Cubic Utilization: 607 cu. ft. (17.19 cu. m.)
Thoughts?

Can you enlighten me on how these pallets were loaded ?
And were these pallets/containers available in '65 ?
The year clock that we brought will be unpacked once we can get to the stowed gear. We don't know where that is.

All of the postings from last year seemed to follow a pattern of being from the same person with the same tone, if you catch what I'm saying.
This new posting seems to have a different flow to how its worded and its tone. I'm sure most of you have noticed that.
It's as if you could discern two different writers now.
