The software is called DOCTOR (Display of Objects Circulating in Terrestrial Orbits) and is being developed at our institute (Institute of Aerospace Systems, TU Braunschweig, Germany) specifically to simulate and visualize space debris around Earth.

And we did it all in SPACE! SPACE! SPACE! COOKIE! SPACE!

@Brashyboy Do you have anything INTELLIGENT to contribute to the discussion? biddy777777 and I had a misunderstanding. We figured it out. Does your comment make some-sort of point, or are you just wasting time?

[Brashyboy]

sydneyACE - Now I understand why people like you can't amalgamate into everyday life like normal human beings. Cramped up in your little room, reading and absorbing mostly useless information AND THEN attempting to sound moderately intelligent (via the 'faceless' internet).

C'mon little fella, wipe the dried semen from your lips and live a little. Life doesn't revolve around blow-up dolls.

@biddy777777 - you rock!

I guess we won't be winning "yard of the month" any time soon.

@bdiddy77777 BTW, the whole "ass out of U and me" saying is "the worst". It just amazes me how people will repeat things they hear without thinking about what the're actually saying. I figure if I bring-it to enough people's attention, maybe word will spread. Nothing personal against you, but if you never bring-it-up, how will people know. You know?

[sydneyACE]

Sorry, you're right. I was too agressive with my responce. I read your comment, it sounded like someone dumb who didn't know what they were talking about (which happens WAY too many times online), so I wanted to correct you and make you feel dumb for making a ridiculous, missleading comment. I should have left the reply that I had originally intended to which was; "What do you mean 'we will be seriously fucked'?" I got carried away. Please accept my appologies.

[bdiddy77777]

@sydneyACE ok, well yeah, whatever. you could use that argument against almost every other phrase in existence.

you still acted like an ass when it wasn't necessary.

[sydneyACE]

@bdiddy77777 That phrase makes me laugh every time I hear-it. I makes pretty-much no sense.

First; Typically when somebody assumes something, they don't make an ass of anyone.

Second; IF somebody makes an incorrect assumption SOMETIMES they make an ass of themselves but RARELY make an ass of anyone else.

This case is actually a pretty good example. How did MY assumption make an ass out-of YOU?

Think about it. That phrase is senseless at best.

[bdiddy77777]

@sydneyACE well that's why that one phrase is so popular:

When you assume you make an Ass out of U and Me.
