Would the forum know if… you DIED?

Major General Charles George  Gordon, or Chinese Gordon as he was known, died in Khartoum today in 1885. He made his reputation 20 years before in the Taiping Rebellion. He was sent to the Sudan to safeguard the country and Egypt from the Mahdi, a Muslim fanatic with an enormous following. The Prime Minister, Gladstone, was in the process of arranging a relief force and Gordon was told he could leave the city. He refused.
What happened next is etched on my memory(and perhaps other schoolboys’ minds) as the garrison fell and Gordon, unarmed, was struck down by countless spears. 
The relief force arrived on the 28th, Gordon’s 52nd birthday.
Gordon was born in London in 1833, the son of a Major General and was commissioned a Lieutenant in 1852. He saw service in the Crimea as well as in China.  He never married and was a Christian Evangelist, who spend much time helping  orphans. He welcomed death.
His effigy can be found in St Paul’s Cathedral, London; his body was never found.

Always room for more!  Welcome.

Cool share it is definitely. My friend has been searching for this info.

Hello. And Bye.

Another chap mentioned the escape velocity of atmoshpere in low gravity.
I ask you how do you explain Titan a moon which holds a decent atmosphere and oceans of Methane and slow moving tidal waves et al? by your idea it would have lost everything and become like our moon.

Titan’s atmosphere consists of heavier molecules such as ethane.  As these molecules are heavier, it is much less likely that they will attain escape velocity.  Additionally, Titan is much, much colder than the earth and this also make it less likely that these molecules will attain escape velocity.  Finally, Titan itself seems to consist of these molecules and any atmosphere that does bleed off will get replenished.

Isn’t there this Greenspan guy who sets the interest rates?

Yeah, that’s what I thought… :roll:
