Or, make sure everything is non-sparking. No sparks means no fires. Lockheed once had to work on a liquid-hydrogen fueled airplane, and so the building they worked in had to have absolutely no sparks- or- BOOM!!!! Liquid hydrogen explosion! So they got no-spark everything, even alarm systems.

A pity he hasn't posted for a while.

What? Are you saying the quantum entanglement won't work or will work? If you got there, yes, information exchange is instantaneous, no matter the distance.

It means "typo".

You have to get there to entangle them first.

What matters is brain size compared to body size.

I really stink at Haiku, why bother trying? See you later now

Why bother even trying to bother about it?

You had to make 2 threads about it?

Airlocks do not let out gas, as the air inside them is pumped back into the cabin before being opened. The Space Shuttle contains liquid nitrogen tanks for the purpose to replace anything lost, however it is hardly necessary.

Whoever you heard this from, shoot them.

Why are there so many "Registered User"s intstead of the normal title tree?

In my opinion: In a LONG LONG LONG TIME! Or, in Star Trek.

Sorry. Don't remember.

My mother LOVED that one!

I measure by how much explosives. "Biggest Bomb" goes by weight.

lol! Unless you want to burn off 2 inches of your cigarrette in a second! I believe Winston Churchill once decided that he had to be able to smoke in the unpressurized cabin of his airplane, so he had a special attachment made to his oxygen mask. Every once and a while it would feed the cigar too much oxygen, and POOF! 2 inches of it were gone before he realized what was going on!

Oh yes, and astronauts have to sit in the airlock and breathe pure oxygen for half an hour. (before the spacewalk)

1,000 pounds less!

The shuttle's pressure is constant unless there is going to be a spacewalk, where the pressure will be dropped to 10 PSI about 12 hours before the spacewalk, to reduce the risk of the bends. (spacesuits are only 4 PSI!!) PS: on airplanes, they get extra air to put in the fuselage for heating and to maintain pressure from the compressor stage of the jets, where the air is already heated up from the compression.

Yeah right. You don't need THAT much shielding... only enough to reduce it to a non-fatal level.

There are vents on the airplane that let the pressure stay the same as the atmosphere. These are closed at 8,000 feet so people won't get hypoxia. When at cruising altitude, you feel the same pressure as being at 8,000 feet. Because of that pressure difference, it puts strain on the fuselage, meaning they cannot keep it at sea level pressure because the whole thing would just go POP!

Boy, nobody likes lawyers these days! Good thing, too.

You realise that the sun is one large nuclear blast, don't you?
