Wally Schirra was the first astronaut to go into space three times, and the only astronaut to have flown in the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs

In spacetime, if there are two things that move from point A in space and time (for example, your house at 10:00) to point B in space and time (the store, at 11:00), the one that travels a longer distance has less time pass for it, it's like a trade-off where total space x time is conserved, so more space travelled, less time travelled. That's why if you go really fast in a space ship, you dont age as much as people who stayed back on earth. Another way to put this is that the shortest distance through space between two points in space and time is also always the longest distance in time. So if you and your friend both leave your house at 10:00 AM, and you take the most direct route to the store such as that you arrive at 11:00 AM having travelled the shortest distance possible, more time will have elapsed for you than for your friend who took a longer route, but arrived at 11:00 AM as well. You will have aged more than he did. hakimashou fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Oct 12, 2020 |

Mankind's dream of one day going into space will never be fulfilled because by definition if something occupies it then it's no longer space.

astral posted:Space is cool. In fact, so cool that it is only about 3 Kelvin over absolute zero. Also if space was actually our atmosphere it would be loud as gently caress, the sun is literally screaming at us constantly but we can't hear it because sounds doesn't travel in a vacuum. In other words space hates us and is the ultimate enemy.

Some mathematician calculated the lonliest place on Earth. Its somewhere in pacific ocean and is the furthest point from all human settlements with lowest air and sea traffic on the planet. If you ever end up there, astronauts on ISS will be the closest humans to you.

There are no laws in space so the ISS is covered in graffiti, like Cosmonauts pitch, astronauts catch and gently caress space Interpol is powerless.

Bronze Fonz posted:If you're looking for a fascinating read on what happened with Columbia and how NASA could've done something: 1. Space thing goes up into orbit, during launch the left wing gets damaged 2. While it's flying around in space a bunch of people go "hey I think the left wing is damaged" 3. Some manager morons go "Hmmff fmmff hurrumph hurrumph that's impossible! Everything is fine!" Based on nothing. 4. The astronauts aren't told and nobody fixes the left wing. It's fixable. 5. The spacecraft reenters the atmosphere. The left wing causes bad things to happen. Everyone on board gets exploded. HOW COULD THIS TERRIBLE TRAGEDY OCCUR??

Internetjack posted:It's pretty well established that shipping by rail car from the Thiokal plant in Utah was the only logistic capable of getting the boosters out of the state. Limits on the size of the railway tunnels out of the state were pretty much an upper limit sizing factor. Weight was also a big issue that dictated the use of railroads. The extrapolation of railroad gauge and tunnel size going back to horse carts and chariots is just a fun extension of the exercise, but not unmerited. Yeah, like the first part is true, but the railway gauge->chariot thing isn't But that's not interesting, I don't want to just be the But Actually guy so here: With Challenger, as mentioned, it was the o-rings that went. Specifically, they weren't rated for the low temperatures that morning. What's worse, there were a bunch of engineers that knew this was an issue, even to the point where one guy went home to his family the night before and was like, "This is going to explode tomorrow morning." But they had no way to report it - No one at NASA was listening, or would take them seriously. Challenger blew up because an organisational problem prevented people from being able to sound the alarm and stop the machinery.

Oh here's another one: Lots of media portrays space as this really cold thing that will instantly freeze any water or person that is exposed to it. In fact, it is cold, but heat can't radiate off you without particles taking that energy away. There aren't very many particles in space, so you'd actually hold on to your heat for a really long time. Spaceships don't have any trouble with getting too cold, they actually have a hard time radiating excess heat.

ante posted:Oh here's another one: Not quite, heat is transfered in three different ways conduction, convention or radiation. There's no conductive or conventional heat transfer in a vaccuum, but heat still gets radiated away as a wave. It's a much lower rate as the other two ways tho (depending on temp.) so as you said, radiating heat away near a heat source (like, for example, the sun) is a bigger issue than cooling.

 so this is a good book im reading here. did you know when the columbia was about to take off for it’s last flight (in 2003) they spotted a blip on the radar and the director of the launch thought it was a terrorist plane coming to destroy the shuttle? but it actually turned out to be a bunch of birthday balloons floating around but they didn’t find that out until after the launch teen phone cutie fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Oct 18, 2020 |
