  2. This is one problem with the internet: problems are magnified beyond the probable reality.
  3. There's a few of us silvery ones here so you won't be alone. I'm a bit too young for Gemini missions but remember Apollo. Welcome to the forum.
  4. Racism exists between groups other than with white groups. it's not an exclusively white phenomenon.
  5. History at NASA doesn't support him.
  6. I think you are reading things into it from insufficient data. Until otherwise shown, I think the default position should be that it was a purely operational decision.
  7. Not at all. I think we are barking up different trees.
  8. I'm on about what's occurring in the brain. Do you need a humour transplant today?
  9. But some blind people are adept at it, so we can be like bats
  10. You can envisage your surroundings with sound.
  11. But not in the brain... unless, of course, you think there's a little cinema with a projector in the the middle of it.
  12. Yes, there's a lot of intermediate processing which only approximates what is before us; it's a constructed image.
  13. The rumour's from her brother, isn't it? I doubt, it given a Hispanic woman is taking her place. Maybe they needed a different skill set for that mission. I would imagine when selecting a group they consider whether their choices embody all the necessary competencies.

    In HOI's defence, he did not offer an answer to the OP but was actually just querying yours.
  17. You got this bit right. The expansion is not like an explosion, with the edges moving outwards, but the distance is increasing between non-gravitationally bound objects. Wherever you stand everything is moving away from you. This doesn't apply on the scale of our solar system though but on a much larger scale; between galactic superclusters. Tidal-locking, as Dimreepr mentioned, is the cause of your described scenario.
  18. Just a current example of the electorate gradually giving away their power to influence in exchange for an autocratic, undemocratic style of government.
  19. Turkey (the country).
  20. If the ulterior purpose is to keep humans going then I don't think a time limit matters.
  21. Nobody's mentioned water bridges. I find them rather amusing for some reason.
  22. The distance I was at, the towers were probably 18" apart with the bottom half cut off by trees. I was standing in a 1000 hectare field. The towers are 156m high.
  23. Go and see a doctor.
  24. Perhaps defence spending is an important part of America's modus operandi.
  25. This banner is on the NCBI site today:
