Oh man. Another perfectly good thread ruined by drugs and religion. I suppose people just don't understand the gravity of the situation.
Will the Gravity satellite feel the sucking force It's one of the reasons we sent the satellite in the first place... they want to know if the earth sucks in waves... and, if stuff that is sucking elsewhere in the universe impacts the suckage on our planet at all.
Do you think it's sensitive enough to record a suckage reduction due to the death of Marilyn Chambers?
So your going to show all those "beginners" trying to derail the thread with drugs and religion how to do it right?
Generally a localized, short lived phenomena unless, of course it occurs in an odd shaped room such as an oval office... In which case it has considerable gravity.
And the other relevant question... concerning gravity waves of course... and mass effects in general... Is the Danza Slap a measurable force/effect from space...
Or levity... Considering the late-nite talk show host's material and all... Speaking of that... what's the verdict on the Colbert module...
I read something in the paper this morning about infusing spiderwebs with metal to make them even stronger. No mention of the strength relative to carbon nanotubes, but spiders on a satellite would be another Clarke tie-in. Sorry, Jayman, you'd probably rather not think about it.
Why, yes it does. I've had an irrational fear of fairly harmless, but large and hairy spiders, ever since that one scuttled across my equipment
Too bad it didn't bite you. You could have been Spiderman - in a big way. And if the spider was radioactive, you'd glow-in-the-dork. I mean dark.
Hmmmm, going into space via elevator. . . how boring. But then again, you're in space and that's pretty damn cool! :yo: Wildkow p.s. Ii wonder what Muzak they will play on the way up?
Probably a real cheap never-ending version of Tie a Yellow Ribbon Around etc. Or, a never-ending version of Hanson's MMmmmbop Me, I'd just blow the emergency escape window and jump out ...
Not me. Also, I'd bet if the relatively harmless but hungry hairy spider DID bite you there, the *last* thing on your mind would be sex Just having all those hairy legs scuttling across my "equipment" the very last thing on my mind was sex. If dozens of attractive women had been outside that outhouse, the only thought on my mind would have been that hairy spider with all those hairy legs BBRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr!
No tail on earth is worth me letting some spider bite my johnthomas for a longer go at it... Even if she had an Australian accent and all... Although... there is this gal I once knew from the Bahamas... her eyes were nearly golden... and... Ummmm on second thought, No... now that I think about it again, no way would I go through with it... wanker biting spiders... NO.
