Space and Science BS Thread

Full house, heh.

 

They said it’s been 20 years for NASA, Roscosmos/Russian, JAXA and ESA astronauts to inhabit the ISS at the same time

 

Some article somewhere said the ISS smells a bit like a locker room.

 

All things considered, that’s not too bad...

 

Yeah but it's 0g mildew . . .

 

Imagine what it's like when someone has gas

 

I'd be that guy who would just float past and crop dust the module. Probably also have to experiment with gas propulsion in zero g.

 

In one of her interviews, when asked about smells on the ISS, astronaut Peggy Whitson said she thought the toilet was backed up, turned out to be the Russians cooking dinner.

 

A round trip to mars is 2+ year’s

 

Space hockey is where it's at.

 

I remember when Chris Hadfield dropped the opening season faceoff puck from the ISS to the leafs...

On topic

 

Dammit lol. Wrong thread. For some reason all my hockey posts lately end up here first lol.

 

I'm not sold that anyone has a viable method to protect the astronauts long term on either the trip to Mars or in Lunar orbit. All of the "shields" I've seen proposed seem to rely on either a ton of energy to create a magnetic forcefield or a safe room made of lead that literally weighs as much as the rest of the craft. Those don't seem like viable solutions to me. I could be wrong, just what I've read into so far.

 

Had a great evenin’ listenin’ to that guy. Lotta fun ‘n games but deep down inside you could tell he could go from Fun guy to Down Right Serious in a heartbeat. Once in a lifetime experience I’m glad I didn’t miss.

 

Capture an asteroid, something about 1 mile in diameter should do. Outfit it with Ion drive. Either use it as a shield or convert it into a space craft.

 

or attack mother Russia with it.

 

His summer place is just up river from me. We were parked at the water taxi dock munching on a dog and fries watching the river. See this little aluminum side console boat approaching with three peeps in it. They docked up about 6' from the hood of my truck...we knew he had a place on the island and sure as shit its Chris dropping off a couple of teenage lads on the mainland. The pop out of the boat and say "thanks for the lift Chris"...like they're his neighbour.

Imagine Chris Hadfield is your neighbour!

He had a very small white fluffy dog on his lap, pushed off and back to the island he went...tiny little guy tho

 

That’s why the air scrubbers are so important

Impressive life and accomplishments.

 

I have his autobiography and his second book as well...the kind of cat that makes one proud to be
