Yeah, you want to deal with "failure rate" That's fine you dimwit. We have lost 40 percent of the shuttle fleet.
Happy now? Evidently you measure success like a battleship. |

I don't have a problem with your ignorance honestly. The space station and shuttle not in "outer space" They are in low earth orbit.
Fine. The stone cold fact is an orbiting object isn't in outer space if it's being held in such orbit by the gravitational pull of the earth. It's in ORBIT. Last edited by watermock; 07-09-2006 at 03:23 PM.. |

Technically, you're correct about Andromeda and the Milky Way. They don't orbit each other per se. They do both both orbit a common point though. The Lesser and Greater Megalanic Clouds (you know, those galaxies that are much, much closer to ours than Andromeda), both orbit the Milky Way. You're just digging yourself deeper and deeper here Mock. Why don't you stop while you're ahe... er... before you get any farther behind. Ben |

He's so far behind, he couldn't catch up.

If these spacecraft are so close, why is living on them so different? Being in orbit changes everything! The Earth still pulls down on a spacecraft in orbit. So, the spacecraft is always falling towards the ground. But, it doesn't hit the Earth! The Shuttle moves so fast that it doesn't fall down. Instead, it falls around the Earth in a nearly circular orbit. Everything inside is also falling around the planet. Since they are all falling together, it seems like they are floating!

Well Mock, August 28th is the next launch. You think we should try to stop it? You know there could be some loose fabric.
