Park Life

Thought that was normal student life. Actually the real stories are funnier. He discovered his flatmate was gettting money from the parents and so started writing them for more money which he would skim from his flatmate. He spent a lot of it on a suit and a cane to go and watch his fav opera's (Wagner). Then when they got home he would be in a energised and manic state and would sit up all night making his mate play the piano...

Didn't even have a German passport.

Beware the failed artist. His 'mate' was a Jewish art dealer. His family were very poor. He got money from his flatmate.

Govt have been killing in our names and as long as there is some kind of (often made up) excuse it doesn't seem to bother many people.

It is, but the advanced tech isn't nasa's.

It will be used for stabalising wayward SATELLITES. Then later bigger versions will be used for space travel. Very light propulsion system you see. The main problem with rockets is the fuel is really fukin heavy.

Catches charged particles and pushed them out the back...

It's 240,000 miles to the moon mate.

It was too heavy. Shielding (black ceramic) wasn't inc in the original design and the airforce fucked up the wings...

The ISS was almost the ceiling of it's real capability (no shuttle has been above 615miles. Although they were designed for 900 odd miles. Up there is a lot of space radiation and there are only a few windows per orbit to get the fucker down...In that sense there isn't much 'popping about'. The main problem with the shuttle is that it was designed for heavy lifting many loads but the design was too heavy hence very fast re-entry and the need for those black tiles which cost a bomb (special ceramic). The whole thing was a colosal waste of money. Russia was lifting loads at about 20% of the cost.

Vacuum can't nullify anything Wolfy it's a contradiction in terms. Charged particles will give thrust to future space vehicles (big sails) (the nasa ones).

Yup and over time faster due to lack of resistence. Nasa are shit anyway starved as they are of budget (which goes to the military programme).

Remember when they were planning a tether to the ISS. Really you couldn't make it up.

Shuttles were costing 500m$ per launch. Booster, tiles and other bits needed replacing every time (took 6 months at least). Shit design cause the airforce designed the heavy wings the clowns + Govt contracts are always 100x more expensive...etc..

The fuel and rocket mass plus inertia is how it works in space. If someting hits space it carries on moving at the same speed it hit the space threshold at. Infact it speeds up over time....Einstein had trouble with this so I forgive Wolfy.

What do you fukin know about it?!!!

It isn't really a vacuum.

Noted.

Wolfy they CAN send bits of metal to the moon and Mars. It's no big deal man. Voyager for instance is at the periphery of our galaxy now and still sending data.

Moon landings thread is gold.

It's called immigration. For someone who shoots his mouth of the whole time you're pretty lame. One million Poles ring a bell. Official figures from the Office for National Statistics show that the fertility rate – the average number of children per woman in England and Wales – rose steadily over the past decade following a slump in the 1960s and 1970s and a plateau throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Immigrant mothers, many from the new Eastern European members of the EU, drove a baby boom that led to a record 61.4million population in Britain by mid-2008." "Western European countries have low fertility rates, below the replacement rate of 2.1. Germany: 1.4 (its total population is 81.9 million, of which 8.2% are foreigners). Holland: 1.8 (16.5 million, of which 4.4% are foreigners). Belgium: 1.8 (10.8 million, of which 9.8% are foreigners). Spain: 1.4 (46.1 million, of which 12.4% are foreigners). Italy: 1.4 (60.2 million, of which 7.1% are foreigners), the Pope’s views notwithstanding. Sweden, which provides deep support for parents, has a high TFR of 1.9 (9.4 million, of which 6.4% are foreigners), but that’s still below the replacement rate. Ireland and the U.K. also have high TFRs, at 2.1 and 1.9, respectively, but these rates are derived from non-European immigrant parents." The only places on the planet on or above replacement rate is India and Africa.

The bullet goes down and to the right and then changes direction back on itself and to the left and exits......Sorry wrong thread.
