Quoting: Moon You 473627I cant see the math working here? This is truly Amazing even for 40 years ago! Help me out with this you Ash Crack science heads. Inertial movement. Because there is no forces of drag on a moving object, it's momentum remains the same and it never slows down until something is in it's path. So you fire the thrusters to get it moving... a little fuel, then you fire them again to slow down... a little bit more fuel (of course you would also need to manuver the ship to). Hope that helps... Dazzy. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 492766 Portugal 08/28/2008 03:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Let's try this: On ground, a car or any other moving object is slowed down by friction between the object and the air and/or the ground. In space, you don't have an atmosphere, so there are no particles that can slow down movement (and no ground too dooh). The only friction that will be encountered will be from micro-asteroids that hit the ship on it's way. Also, don't forget that the acceleration used for that kind of travel is not only from chemical engines, but also from a 'slingshot' movement. The ship goes around the Earth and uses the momentum to be thrown into space! Even a small push that barely would move an object in the Earth's atmosphere, will move an object in space indefinitely, until it encounters an obstacle. : ) |

Gravitational pull of earth keeps them in orbit... They orbit without ever having to refuel because of inertia in a vacuum. Please, go HURL YOURSELF OUT OF A FUCKING WINDOW AND LAND ON THE PLACE WHERE YOUR BRAIN SHOULD BE. |

The computers on the ground control the path or non path of the satellite. Some are held in geosynchronous orbit, which means they are traveling as fast as the earth is spinning. Some travel in an orthongonal path to the direction of the earth's rotation, you can see them trace a north-south path in the night sky. Eventually the slight gravitational pull and little friction in a satellites orbit does bring it back to earth.

We are like flies crawling across the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel: We cannot see what angels and gods lie underneath the threshold of our perceptions. We do not live in reality; we live in our paradigms, our habituated perceptions, our illusions; the illusions we share through culture we call reality, but the true historical reality of our condition is invisible to us.” |

?!? User ID: 478361 United States 08/28/2008 04:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Wanna learn? Orbiter: [link to orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk] "ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours. But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background. Good starting points are JPL's Basics of Space Flight, and R. Braeunig's Rocket & Space Technology. " Must have these 2 addons, MUST HAVE. 1) OrbiterSound 3.5 NEW! (For ORBITER2006+P1!) And the.... 2) DeltaGliderIV NEW! (For ORBITER2006+P1!) {This craft is best for just learning, autopilot mode for all tasks, but learning to run them is the crafts PC is kinda tough also, read read and more reading} [link to orbiter.dansteph.com] Tons of free addons: [link to www.orbithangar.com] Good luck.....Have Fun! |
