[quote:antisoshal 635487:MV83NTEyOTBfMTE1MzI1NjBfREYxQjQwQzc=] When did I say Ice? Never really understood the Ice thing. In an almost vacuum, the boiling point of water is pretty damn near "NOW". Sunlight heats the surface of any solid object rapidly, and any "ice" would boil off rather quickly. There's not much water floating around out there looking for a mixed drink. Comets are a great example of this. They are just huge ice blocks evaporating at an enormous rate. They gain a bit of an "atmosphere" that slows the process down a bit. Ice on a small scale like what would accumulate on the shuttle during the climb wouldn't last through the friction of takeoff. The only occurring ice at the ISS is shortly after firing attitude thrusters. On the shade side of the ISS ice can accumulate for short periods, I've read. It has shown up in some shuttle footage where adjustments to orbit have been made while the bay was open. It's always behaved somewhat like you think it should, when Ive seen it. [/quote]
