ShabbyOrange User ID: 25437381 United Kingdom 10/14/2012 09:47 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | But quick question, i've not followed this much, and the statement about a Freefall and breaking the speed of sound, i thought terminal velocity can not be broken without propulsion? Ignore that.. Took me 5 minuites to work out that the air is thinner and has less resistance. DOH! Last Edited by ShabbyOrange on 10/14/2012 09:51 AM |

2012Portal (OP) 2012Portal - Mayan Beyond 2012 User ID: 15022013 Netherlands 10/14/2012 10:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Winds at 7,000 feet are just too high right now, but the meteorologist is quite confident for an 11am lift-off. Now, totally off-topic, but related- Why is a meteorologist called as such? I mean, "meteor" means, well an meteor - "A meteor is the visible path of a meteoroid that has entered the Earth's atmosphere." Sauce: [link to en.wikipedia.org] and the meaning of "ologist" - "One who studies a subject" Sauce: [link to en.wiktionary.org] Then how to you get this, "meteorologist" - "A meteorologist is an individual with specialized education who uses scientific principles to explain, understand, observe or forecast the earth's atmospheric phenomena and/or how the atmosphere affects the earth and life on the planet."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1405546 United States 10/14/2012 10:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Does anyone have an update on the time of launch? I see conflicting info. Quoting: Miggy Thanks. And BTW, what is this guy trying to prove, anyway? Collecting data for developing bail out systems for pilots, passengers, etc. If he survives reasonably well, soon there will be ejection systems for space craft. Something the space program has lacked for a long time. |
